out of curiosity, which cars with a HUD have you driven that you found were compatible with polarized lenses? this will unfortunately have the side effect of letting more reflective glare through, but maybe it’s a happy medium for those wanting some polarization and some HUD visibility

This is the Gravity forum.

Yes, Blue just means high beams are on, in either full on or matrix (selective shading) form.

Yes. After an HVAC-related software update, this is now the normal behavior in my experience if you're using Auto. If you want it quieter, you can manually set the fan speed which quiets it down a lot. I typically first set Auto 72 sync, then nudge the fan speed to 3-5, which is still enough...

from the manual

Every car with Auto wipers I’ve owned across multiple brands also had the ability to adjust the sensitivity of the reaction to the rain sensor, “Auto Low/Auto High” would the implementation that sensitivity control. Historically with physical controls, this would have been achieved with a ring...

Thank you for reporting back. I might suggest trying doing the same test but while walking up to a sleeping car (e.g. locked and fob out of range for >10 mins).

when i am approaching a locked and sleeping car with auto unlock enabled but i am not yet in auto unlock range, like if i am carrying groceries and i want the frunk/trunk to be open by the time i get there, pressing the unlock/frunk/trunk open buttons on the fob within reasonable range as i walk...

I had a similar experience to @PKress (mentioned in another thread) with the difficulty getting a hold of someone at the Costa Mesa service center - called repeatedly at all hours on and off between September and October, left call back requests, left voicemails, never received a response...

Maybe you can try disabling CarPlay from the phone side after pairing it and see if that helps? On your iPhone, go to Settings, Bluetooth, then click the (i) next to your car in the device list, then turn the CarPlay toggle off. Then I believe it will just behave as a generic bluetooth...

According to Thomas from Autogefühl, he achieved 3.45 mi/kWh at 60 mph, 95 F ambient (albeit on a prototype iX5). So that’s 490 miles real world (BMW EPA est. 435 miles). Pretty impressive figures and yes it is a large 144 kWh pack - which you get at the $80k starting price. Might I add that you...

It appears 3.6.5 is more about correcting/working around unexpected pinch protection activation than the issue I shared, which is more about intermittent up/down command confusion. I have had other windows intermittently go down when commanded to go up from the driver’s door window switches...

3.6.4 here with no update yet… I’m going to get 3.6.5, right? …right? 👀

The first interior pull unlocks the door (also presenting the exterior door handles) and the second pull unlatches it. You can configure this behavior by enabling unlocking the doors when shifting to Park. Then the handles will present when shifting to Park, and the first interior pull will...

I would imagine it’s due to there being more oncoming traffic on the left side of the road than the right side of the road. It might be surprising but left and right beam patterns are not the same, and are further adjusted for the market the vehicle is sold in (e.g. mirrored for RHD countries).
