Any Canadians with 5.6?

The Vancouver service center initialized the TPMS for free (thanks!).

I'd love it to show me which tire is low, but I'll take a generic warning.

Anyone keeping track of vampire losses w/ 5.6 or 5.8? I charged the car prior to 7:50pm last night and at 7:45am this morning rated range had dropped by 3km. Using the 2.5kWh/day metric (thanks to mknox) it seems vampire losses have been cut in half. Does that seem about right?

Upgraded to 5.8 on Friday. I really like the improvements to the Maps/Nav - especially the option to go 'direction up' instead of always 'North up' on the map orientation. Performance on the map refresh and map traffic details seems better as well. Regarding the lowering, possibly in combination with the winter tires on, I seem to be getting more wind noise from the wheels or turbulence under the car at speed that I had not noticed before.

Tried tethering while parked in the garage - definite speed improvement over 3G as cellular reception is only 3 bars at my house.

Winter tires are noisier.

Been on these winters for two weeks now... It is definitely MORE noisier at hwy speeds with the added clearance.

Okay... will check and see if I agree.

I'm still on my summers, but my 70 km or so highway commute in this morning didn't seem any louder than before...

Just drove 100 kph. It didn't sound any louder to me. And the suspension definitely did not lower as it usually does.
