Get Autosocks and put winter tires on for winter.
With how bad Seattle streets were during the snow & ice, it was really frustrating seeing people out on all season tires thinking AWD would save them. The streets & highways were in too poor of condition for all season tires.
Just drives me mad...
RAS is by far first.
Then PTV+
PDCC as a super optional 3rd.
RAS benefits every element of driving everyday. Turn radius improves, high speed stability, it's fantastic.
PTV+ is nice if you really push the car but it's not noticeable most of the time. Theortically helps in inclement weather...
The problem with relying on fast charging is that the current & near future infrastructure is going to be CRUSHED w too many cars within 2 years. EA is already low on 350 chargers for the current # of EVs.
If Porsche sticks an 85 in the Macan I won't be buying one.
You know if someone says something on Twitter or Fox News that it's 100% true and they won't change their mind later. ...
This could very well just be a power play.
PDCC is really a track option, IMHO. Even going a bit mad on a backroad you're not going to reach the limits of the car where PDCC really pays off and it adds a bit of an unnatural feel.
If you have the budget it's not a bad thing to spec but on a budget it's pretty far down the list. I'd do...
I would always spec RAS on a car these days, there's just no downside.
I like PTV+ but it's not strictly necessary.
I do not like PDCC.
I'd add the acoustic insulated glass and RAS and remove the power charging port. Consider ventilated seats as well. Then your build looks great to me.
Hmm. I find the ride quality to be exceptional, but I enjoy sportier suspensions. I haven't experienced any clunks or booms.
Is this your first EV? Could it just be getting used to the combination of a sportier suspension + no engine noise to mask sounds?
Take your pick. The worse five dealerships I've ever experienced for any brand are Porsche Tacoma, JLR Lynnwood, Porsche Bellingham, JLR Bellevue, and Porsche Bellevue. Terrible area to buy a luxury car.
Come on guys, lay off the OP.
OP I think only the dealership you purchased from can fully...
If you're planning on one of the interior colors offered in Standard (black or black/beige, don't do Slate) I'd stay standard. IMO the leather options really pop with one of the two tones, especially the Olea.
Not sure what options you selected but you'd always do insulated glass w Bose before...
Are you talking about steering feel or steering weight? I was referring to steering feedback, ie.. mimicking mechanical steering.The above is referring to steering weight.
Yes, certain things change the steering weight slightly.
But they do not markedly improve the feedback and in fact many...
The Pirellis are fine.
You got an accurate idea of how the steering is, up to you to decide if you like it enough. But the steering feeling in the GTS likely won't be significantly different.
The modes don't change how the electric steering feels, they just alter suspension/PCM/torque...
If you didn't like the steering feel of the 4S you won't like it on any of them. There are no options that significantly alter it.
Was it on Pilot Sport 4 summers or all seasons? That would make it a bit better. But that's it.
Speaking of Rivian cancelations, if anyone has a LE or 2018/2019 Rivian reservation they are going to cancel.. send me a message first. Willing to buy it from you (confirmed okay by Rivian.)
