Yep. You can FEEL it. As you can see from the thread, most don't regret it. I'd pay another $2K for Super AB if they offered it. Will say that others have said their range is not impacted. I'm sure it matters more on HOW you drive it that if you have it. But I have seen a dip in range and...

That seems unlikely to me. How could one company own the rights to read a sign? They can have specific patent on exactly how it works, but not the fact that it does it. I could be wrong, but seems like a lack of focus on the problem. If this is not the way the signage works in California...

I know it has been a couple weeks, but I just came across this thread. I am constantly being annoyed by my MY slowing down when it passes speed limit signs for other types of vehicles. There is a stretch of road I travel often that has speed limit signs very frequently. But after each one...

FYI...I installed in my MY last week. The connector to the computer under the glovebox is the worst part. Once I got it out, then I have that "2 minute warning" to get it plugged back in. I don't have large hands, and it was still rough. I had to put on nitrile gloves since there are a lot of...

Minor nuisance for me...mid-level anguish for her! Which leads to mid-level annoyance for me. if you know what I mean ;-) I am moreso considering future, much longer, road trips. But I hear what you are saying. Thanks!

Lots of great discussion here. I feel just a little "attacked" by those who ask if I did any research or planning. I can be sure I research these things more than the average person. I knew the winds, and the temps. And those who are willing to wager I was cruising at 80MPH for long...

Just to be clear. I never said I wouldn't use the supercharger in Champagne. I used it twice once I got there. Not sure why you though that. As for Gilman, it never even came up as needing it when I planned the trip. I used ABRP with what I thought was a realistic WH/M usage and since it...

I've mentioned it earlier that I know how much these conditions impact my mileage in an ICE vehicle. It is not nothing, but it is no way more than a 15% reduction in mileage for those types of wind and that speed. Of course running the heat in an ICE vehicle doesn't hurt your mileage almost at...

At 39lbs in the tires, the ride is rough enough. Not too interested in going much higher. I guess if I knew I could add significant miles to my range, I would pump in a few more pounds. But I do not think that is the case.

I do know from tracking the CX5 on that same trip that higher speeds diminish MPG. But when I average a little under 80mph with the CX5 I seem to get about 8% - 10% reduction in my average. But not a 40%+ reduction. Also keep in mind I was doing ~75mph in the 70mph zones. 80 was just a peak...

I am glad I sparked some conversation. I posted this quickly last night before bed, so I didn't include all of the details. Here is my trip down. My trip back fared very similarly even though I traveled a bit more slowly home due to conditions. As for the comment about Gilman. I did that on...

This barely counted as a road-trip as I was just going from the SW Chicago suburbs to see my daughter in Urbana. The trip was 143 miles each way and thought I would get down there with about half charge since I started with 322 miles at 100% SOC to start. I averaged about 69MPH and and I had...

I don't know you or the OP. But what I do know is some people may not like to look away from the windshield to verify speed, etc. So why do you get to accuse someone or something you don't know based on nothing. If the OP should not have included a link to purchase, then simply state that...

I have only had my MY for 4+ weeks. Just when I got used to where stuff is....this happens. Already thinking about one of the aftermarket instrument clusters. I am quite used to changes, but on the MY it is too much at once without a clear reason for most of it.

County me in. Ordered the exact same Blue/black MYLR about 10 days ago and got my VIN last night. Chicago area. I find it interesting how they released a large number of the exact same config at the same time on a Saturday night. As I'm sure everyone else is, I'm eager to get a delivery date.
