  • I’m about 600 miles into my IONIQ 5 XRT. I didn’t want the XRT but by the time I got to the dealer after their last pre-Krasnov-Tariffs delivery, the IONIQ 5 Limited had already sold and what I now have was my only option.

    I’m pretty happy with everything but the color, which is black. Also my inability to figure out how to tell the car “PLEASE VENT OUTSIDE AIR IN WITHOUT CONDITIONING IT IN ANY WAY.” Anyone got insight there? I’ve got at least another month of decent weather that doesn’t need to tax the batteries.

    Very excited that my solar installer, who is about to put batteries in at the house to back up and enable grid-free usage of last year’s solar panels, says they can install a generator transfer switch that I’ll be able to use with the IONIQ’s bi-directional charging! Not a huge win for now, but the car’s battery is as big as the $35k worth of batteries I’m about to add to the house.

    Ultimately I’ll sell the IONIQ once I can take delivery of my Telo Truck, and given the tariff-raffery going on here in the US, I expect I’ll be able to sell the XRT used for as much as I bought it for.








  • In short: No. Most infested, Corpus, Techrot have no armor at all.

    Second, armor scaling was radically changed a few months ago. Armor no longer scales infinitely for enemies and is hard capped for all of them at I think 2460? I forget the number.

    This is a big enough change that you don’t actually need to 100% armor strip any more. Used to be enemies could have 12,000 armor or more at high level due to infinite scaling, so the diff between 99% strip and 100% was something like 98% damage reduction vs. 0% damage reduction. But this is no longer true.

    In any case my screen cap is about what is supposedly a big UI error that shows up on iOS and PS.
