It’s up to 5 degrees.

Nice video, but I can’t believe people are such bitter jerks. That wouldn’t have happened here.

I ordered the 22” RS Spyder wheels in Turbonite, but won’t have the car until January 24. If still needed I will post pictures then.

Let some air out of a tire while parked and find out.

Or shipping pucks left in the suspension.

I don’t think recuperation generates any more heat than torque generation (driving) does. The motor simply functions as a generator.

Yes, at the front axle traction are probably controlled entirely using the ABS system and brakes -- if the sensors detect a significant increase in wheel speed due to slippage, the brake is applied and torque goes to the wheel with more traction. The exact logic of how much slippage to allow...

I would not use Off-Road Mode for driving on snow and ice, just let the traction control handle wheel slip should it occur. In your driveway Off-Road Mode may not make any real difference, but on the road it could cause problems because it could lock the left and right wheels together so they...

Range estimates take ambient temperatures into account. If you start the car in a garage the initial range estimate will be based on that, and that will drop after you drive outside in cooler temperatures.

The car relies on friction braking if the battery is unable to accept a charge, either because it's full, too hot, or too cold. But I would have thought that at 56F you would still get regen.

That Macan seems to have a California license plate. And palm trees in Michigan?

One other thing to be aware of when keeping a spare wheel/tire combination around is that today's tires have directional treads, so there's a 50/50 chance of having it mounted correctly. Add to that the fact that the front and rear use different wheel and tire sizes, and carrying a spare tire is...

And if you have multiple departure times scheduled, the earliest one that hasn't passed takes precedence. So you can schedule both a morning and afternoon departure for instance.

That's how ICE cars used to produce cabin heat, but some such as my VW have a heat exchanger on the engine's exhaust manifold that can supply hot air practically as soon as the engine is running. It's something I have come to greatly appreciate when it's chilly.

That tow truck driver is either unqualified for the job or just doesn't care. He had to have known that dragging the Eletre sideways like that would break something.

Did you manually extend the spoiler? If so you'll have to switch back to Drive mode. In the PCM, go to Vehicle -> Drive -> Extend Spoiler.

That's an extraordinary claim and would require a major investigation and possibly a stop-sale and recall. I don't believe the brakes are entirely drive-by-wire and should respond to brake pedal input at all times.

Saw a woman driving a Frozen Blue one at around 3:00 PM today in Malibu, California. That’s #5 for me.

Since ALK requires the ACC hardware I don’t see it becoming available as a FOD.

He gave me the VIN but I have no idea which boat the car is on. I haven't requested insurance quotes yet, every company that I looked at seems to want you to give up contact information to see the actual quote rather than just telling you "it's this much for that car if you live there." I have...
