Here’s a typical days driving for me, with a lot of freeway and up/down. No ACC and very little traffic, but a few steep grades (hwy 92) and rolling hills (280). I’m on the 19” wheels and was going usually >75mph with the flow of traffic.
If the lights are dim then you can use your finger to adjust the brightness on the theme screen - move your finger clockwise/counter-clockwise with the circle to adjust.
Well put. It’s easy to get into the minutiae but really it’s about enjoying the sound you like. I’m a fanatic for imaging and dynamics with very broad taste in music - classical to acoustic to rock to Japanese hip hop to video game soundtracks. That’s me though and others will have different tastes.
I’m 6’3” so pretty close in build. It’s the race car driver in me that likes the wheel closer. Most people will be totally fine.
Also, you’ll be quite surprised that even all the way back there’s still a lot of legroom. Very comfortable for us tall/tanky folks.
I was thinking the same thing. It would be nice to replace the rocker switches with a pressable scroll wheel. Much easier to move and still has the same functionality.
I do wish the steering column had a larger range outward, but otherwise I'm super happy with it.
I suspect it will be a dual screen AirPlay, possibly with a new version to be released at wwdc. The lower screen for apps and main control, and upper screen for nav display.
@martinmeyer @bunnylebowski good point on break-in. Usually I've not found it to materially affect drivers that much (going by measurements) unless they have larger/stiffer surrounds or spiders. I haven't inventoried all the drivers in the car yet but I suspect the lower frequencies may use...
Do +6/+2 if you feel bass is lacking and want vocals/brass to be brighter. Otherwise +3/-2 is pretty good for most everyone. What kind of music do you listen to most of the time?
Yes, I'm waiting on 1.2.5 for some audio quality fixes.
I have a Grizzl-e smart and so far it has been excellent as an outdoor charger. I've heard great things about the Wallbox as well.
Tom over at State of Charge has excellent reviews of home chargers. I'd start there.
I've been messing around with the EQ a lot. Most people will be fine with the original recommendation, and I'm working on a much more in-depth guide on the stereo for release soon.
+6 on bass, flat on mids and +2 on treble. [edit: this is what I currently have set. As @SaratogaLefty pointed out, I originally recommended +2 bass / -2 treble; I'm messing around with the EQ now that I have a car a lot so YMMV]
[Edit #2: I’ve now remapped it to +4 bass / -2 treble; less...
I share your frustrations about being too warm in the car. I tried something recently that was pretty effective - run the front defroster in addition to the other vents, or on its own if the glass is really hot. It ends up cooling me down much faster than when I just cranked the A/C because the...
Yes, I ended up using the EQ. You can definitely lift the lowest octave (30-60hz) up a lot with the trade off of some funky ”boom“ on tracks where midbass regions hit a lot (Fuzz bass, high-BPM EDM tracks, etc). I’m pretty discerning so the lowest hits on songs like My Blood by Twenty One Pilots...
I got my car back from PPF at OCDetailing and some delivery fixes last week. Quick update for anyone interested:
OCDetailing
I went with Stek Dyno + Ceramic, leaving everything glossy (no matte)
Service was great. The PPF is so well done it is practically invisible.
Joe & Alex are bit more...
Wireless CarPlay will also work wonders for quality. I've been messing with every single streaming source I can on the car. Will be posting about it soon.
@bunnylebowski I may need your help testing this out if you're game. Could get @borski once he's back too.
