Funny I just posted this on Tuesday: And I still suggest that short term better service coverage makes some sense. We’ve got two SCs in Orlando both like 10 minutes from the new digs. Not sure if one is just like a showroom vs. full service, haven’t checked them out yet :)

I should mock up an existing R2 lease, see if it makes heads spin …

That might be AI gen-ed, but there are 100s of reports (including a buddy of mine) about the seat and steering wheel materials coming apart, bubbling, etc., in Teslas, and the subsequent service hassles about it being the "owner's fault" (hair, skin or cleaning products being blamed vs. shitty...

One thing that's very cool (in the context of cleaning up/out a vehicle) with our Wrangler, you lift out the mats, and the floor isn't carpeted and has drain plugs so you can wash out the floor areas with a hose.

Well, that's just goddam glorious!

Isn't there also some kind of location based priority as well (i.e., "Where are you taking delivery?")? Like proximity to a Rivian SC, which would make sense if they want a good experience with a new platform (as in, it can be serviced quickly, good WOM, etc.).

The ADAS in our iX is stellar, there's several subfunctions, hands free traffic mode, highway, look-to-validate-lane change, etc. And some really slick tech stuff (not really ADAS per se) like it tracks the last 100 or so yards, so if you pull into a deal end, you can have it simply do a...

This particular app/developer is iOS only, but there's apparently very good Android apps that do basically the same thing (and they all work with several different detectors). This is the one that comes up in a lot of discussions, apparently has pretty close feature parity vs. R8 Companion...

Yeah, where are the EV convertibles? I’m kind of surprised BMW didn’t jump on this, I feel like the i4 could’ve been offered as a convertible pretty easily unless there’s some core engineering issue that I am just not understanding. I hear you about convertibles people talk about sunroof or...

Good lord, that needed a copy check hahahaha. In my defense it is kind of chaos here this morning. We have a brand new amazing place down in DTO and we’re finalizing what we’re taking down with the house up here in SA. Moving stuff into do not disturb areas for the estate sale coming up this...

The Recon would've been closer to an "electric Wrangler" than the R2, but it's overpriced, under-ranged, and they're too obsessed with 0-60. The removable doors are very cool, it was have some open roof options, but no thanks. And I saw that as someone who was very interested initially. Jeep...

Oh right, so a couple of steps back: the R8 is a Uniden R8, it's a radar detector*, that model has BT and can communicate with apps. R8 Companion is one of those apps (it's 3rd party), it has much better screening, a constantly evolving database/markers, has extensive tuning options, and, it...

Yes! It’s happening!

Now this is one "offroad adjacent" feature we dig on, living in an area with a lot of flooding issues (2 blocks from the ocean, 2 blocks the other way to the ICW).

Exactly. Our Wrangler Rubicon looks amazing parked at Publix. Sometimes there's a LOT of sand in the parking lot!

Hahaha, yeah, I figured it might at best case extract some text, or worst, drop into a work queue for some grunts to transcribe :D but I guess maybe you'll get some feedback at some point?

It should be pretty amazing. It's kind of a hybrid in that it's sill CLAR platform (like our iX), but utilizes a lot of the NK drivetrain (batteries, motors, control systems), so it'll be interesting to see what the final product looks like (exterior and interior), the exterior has been spied a...

Has anyone done the "upload your current lease" workflow yet? I was wondering what that looked like. If I'm understanding the prompt, it appears they're looking at your maturity date / outstanding payments for scheduling your order availability. I was thinking about uploading the Jeep lease...

I poked around in an EX90 and at the fit/finish/execution is spectacular. I know they had some growing pains with their tech stack, and started at 400v (the MY26 are 800v). The upgraded audio system in the EX90 is apparently breathtaking.

In this case, it's the same, bimmerpost, in the iX section, specifically the "What are you getting next?" thread :) But just as an FYI, I'm also on this iX specific forum: https://www.ixforums.com/forums/ (and apparently I'm on a Volvo forum, hahaha, I keep getting email notifications :D )
