Why Did Our Kia EV9’s First Service Cost $322?

The total cost came in slightly below the original estimate. The dealer charged $89.95 to rotate and balance the tires, $129.95 for the alignment, $81.59 for the cabin air filter ($43.50 of which was labor), and $26.34 for shop supplies. Our car also received software fixes for recalls related to Remote Smart Parking Assistant and an instrument cluster that occasionally failed to boot—more to come on that last one in our next update—and a technical service bulletin related to the tire pressure monitoring system. The car wash was a nice touch, as was applying a $10 coupon without any input from me, but neither courtesy offset the sting of handing over a credit card to settle up for $321.70.

Sounds like a very shady dealership. 

Hmm... Or is that redundant?

Yeah I was about to strikethrough the words "very shady" and respond with a FIFY.

GM is pretty solid
well that EV Hummer is pretty nice. 

GM is by far the best car manufacturer of the “Big 3” American entities. Although not sure if Chrysler which is now Stellantis really counts as American anymore.

I like GM, I don't think I'd say it's the best "by far."  I prefer my Chevy SUVs to Ford ones, but I prefer my Ford pickup to Chevy.  And GMC really seems to be struggling as a brand, extremely low reliability scores which is surprising to me.

Bill Gates and/or other liberal billionaires that hate Elon.
