It doesn't quite work out that way though - you shouldn't have to wait 45 minutes for a charge during your commute because the car's been charging overnight at your house.
I like Teslas and would consider one when it's time to replace the wife's SUV but the model 3 and Type S aren't even in the same NEIGHBORHOOD for comparison purposes.
Maybe that's because the biggest draw of the ITS/CTR for me was the manual transmission - that had maybe 90% of the sway as to...
I read somewhere that they may be a time component to the MM calculation too.
How long was it between the time you changed the oil at 2,500 miles and now when the MM is showing the 20%?
+1
I thought this was just because of wireless carplay because I don't have this issue in our other cars with wired carplay. Doesn't bother me though.
@ShawnNizzle any differences on carplay with ios18?
Taking my truck to work, I can get away with just visiting the gas station 2x a month.
Splitting the time with the DE5, I find myself having an additional trip to the gas station which isn't bad at all. The annoying part is just that nagging feeling when the tank is right around1/4 and I feel...
70% windshield and 20% all around on mine.
I feel like I still have good visibility out the side and back. As for the windshield, no issue - can't tell it's there from the driver's perspective.
You can also go with a higher % ceramic for the windshield and it'll be even more insivible but you...
This rings so true (pun intended).
After possibly resolving the issue, since I'm now looking for sounds, I can hear the faint wastegate rattle along with a few creaks and rattles from the A-pillar which I never noticed before. I should note though that I've had the dash rattle for a little...
Ok, took it out yesterday with the fam and cautiously happy for now that the buzzing has gone away.
Like mentioned above, I fixed this foam piece that shifted under the engine shroud and made sure all my hose clamps were tight and things seem to be ok for now. Odd that I didn't get any buzzing...
No vibration for me.
I went back and tightened everything after we got home from Disneyland today because I’m neurotic and the tube clamps seemed like they could’ve used tightening.
I also took off the engine shroud and didn’t find anything loose down there but the foam piece on the right was...
Just installed the PRL HVI and took the family out for a test drive. Went putsing around town for a good half hour with no issues, enjoying the new noise.
Stopped at a store and afterwards, the car started buzzing around 3k rpm. It’s brief under hard acceleration but downshifting to 2nd and...
It begs the question, is it the car autonomously driving that's being dumb or is it just the driver being an ass because they have this really quick EV.
Interesting. I wonder what about the PRL leaves it far behind the rest of the (way more expensive) options.
full disclosure: I haven't watched the video
To me, it's just the aggressive, edgy, modern styling of the DE5. The FL5 is simpler and frankly, more boring.
Just look at how dated older bucktooth Acuras and Cadillacs from 10 years ago look vs something with a more subtle styling from the same period like Mercedes.
You're right though, I...
This echoes my experience with my DE5 to a T.
And yes, it's kind of funny to see how many MUCH FASTER cars have rolled up on me wanting to race. Like bruh, I'm not a glutton for punishment -- I will not be running against your G80 M3 comp.
And I agree with you: the thing that won the DE5 for...
