Mine is going in this week to hopefully get the frunk latches sorted-4th attempt. You definitely want to get this resolved. If you end up with a stuck front that won't close you'll enter the dreaded turtle mode with a speed limit under 40 mph.

Could you use the 12volt outlet in the trunk? Granted you could get into the car…

I was hoping for…

Mine is non-powered and has latch issues.

A manual! My kids would rather walk than learn to drive any of my manual cars and I think I have some cool manual cars.

VW Golf. Perfect car for teaching my 3 kids to drive. Safe, great visibility, nimble, easy to place easy to know where the car begins and ends with enough performance to get out of its own way. Only trouble is no longer available in base trim, only GTI and R. Any EV seems like a bad idea for a...

I have an appointment for next week to address frunk latches. Fingers crossed this puts this to bed. Don’t want to see the turtle 😆

I’ve tried a couple times. Two onsite trips for service found no problem. 1st tech had to leave without reviewing with me as I was busy working. Tried as soon as I could and wouldn’t open. 2nd time opened with service tech watching and frunk opened once but not 2nd time. Had to reschedule. At...

If there was anything in there I needed I get it open. And if the car went into turtle mode due to a stuck frunk on a road trip and I didn’t have a loaner of some kind or accommodations within a couple hours I’d let my legal and PR team off their leashes.

I can’t wait! 😢

I gave up trying to get mine fixed. My solution is to use key fob and open frunk twice. 1st time releases drivers side latch, second time releases passenger side. What is really strange is that sometime the fob will open both sides while the button on the dash never does.

Lots of talk about best, average etc. but what the worst you’ve seen? Just did a 180 mile trip that was 100% rural highway and averaged 3.0 Almost didn’t make it home with 300 mile charge. At 50 miles out stayed below 70 mph and ended up with 10 miles to spare. Wasn’t even at full send. Comfort...

I know that seems logical but given the cash burn any loses on these lease returns will be insignificant. But who knows. I’m hopeful that they allow me to extend my lease. This would be the easiest way to avoid dealing with what to do with the car with the least amount of effort.

Every lease I’ve had an I’ve had many the purchase price was negotiable. It’s going to be interesting to see what they do with the lease returns. Given that they’re not currently focused on selling used I bet they’ll send them to the auction.

Yes get the Michelins if you can. The Pirelli’s for me are not great. Car doesn’t feel as nearly planted or precise vs the summer only Michelin’s. Some of this is to be expected with an all season due to a softer taller sidewall and tread. But IMO it Feels like you’re driving on marbles at high...

We must haves it!

This is a 1st for me. I’ll check my router to see if there’s been more data downloaded to the car than usual.

I did it myself for my Valentine 1 gen 2 and Uniden R8. Not that hard once you pop the covers around the mirror. Then use a small cable tap with pins and and RG connector to tap into a wire harness for power. I’d recommend fused cable taps for added protection. Having some pry tools also makes...

Driving to work yesterday I was a bit startled when Lane Departure Protection intervened despite it being fully disabled. Turning it on then off again resolved the issue. This is the 2nd unexpected behavior I’ve witnessed during a rollout. The other was an error message for cameras being...

I’m willing to admit that I’m a complete sucker for wanting something I can’t have. Heck I want things I never even knew existed until I found out that I couldn’t have them. These software updates certainly feed into this condition. I think it comes down to the primal theory of the hunt is...
