Today I had a random disengagement that also kicked the cruise control. The car started braking (regen) immediately in the middle of the freeway, for no reason. That's frustrating and unsafe. Then on the next drive, the car location got stuck at the airport parking lot. Of course, that messed...

On my previous BMW iX, I used it mostly to confirm that car would fit. Its measuring was spot on. It parked on spots I would never have attempted myself. Since parallel parking is rare where I live, I seldom used it, but it was fun. It just worked.

I was never able to get auto parking to work. It never finds a spot, no matter how obvious they can be. My 2013 Ford Escape did parallel parking just fine. All my BMWs were excellent at that, for years.

I repeatedly find the rear A/C turned off, despite having passengers in the back. That's just maddening in the summer.

Another annoying problem on 3.6 is that brake intervention on reverse is always on, regardless of how you configure that in parking settings. The car will slams on the brakes when it sees ghosts. Very irritating.

I've been running 3.6 for several days without issues. This happened today. So the problem of weird issues creeping up with uptime continues.

3.6 after a few days :rolleyes:

I had mentioned before 3.6 had fixed the detection of stopped cars. Well, not so fast. It certainly has improved a lot, but just a few minutes ago, the car would slam in a car stopped a red light, had I not intervened pretty late. It just completely ignored the car there. That's frustrating...

No. It will happily blow through a red light or stop sign.

The car doesn't do any navigation.

My early perceptions of 3.6. I have DreamDrive Pro, so I can drive hands free. It works quite well. The lane keeping behavior isn’t much different than 3.5.1, but the adaptive cruise control is much improved. The car is much smoother now and doesn’t brake aggressively when someone cuts in front...

Tesla and Lucid have chosen the route of having one large computer and have everything else being software driven. If you look at GM or BMW, they all use multiple ECUs that talk to each other. With multiple ECUs, in theory, you can have one that's very optimized to just run the cameras in...

In practice, the difference is quite less, because the Touring is 500 lbs lighter.

If you have an electric motor pushing against you, that energy has to go somewhere. And it's heat.

Image analysis is computationally expensive. The car computer can't sleep, it has to record all the cameras and perform frame analysis on all of them all the time. I'd guess that costs at least 100-200 watts.

If that’s in fact happening (not just anecdotes), this is a huge problem for them. If they can’t move their cheaper inventory, they are screwed.

Yeah, I think the opinion is unanimous. The cars are fantastic when everything works. But man, what a fk* pain in the ass to live with. I like my car, but I can't possibly recommend anyone else to buy one. That makes me sad.

Another day, another problem. Now the car is always showing this system warning, according to the manual. The car is functioning just fine. I have no idea where this is coming from. No notification anywhere else. Has anyone seen this?

Today, the left blind spot camera feed got stuck on, despite of which turn signal I used, left, right or off. The video feed was normal and very fast, but it would just never turn off. And the right blind spot camera would never come up because of that. And, yet another reboot. :rolleyes:
