I'm really not sure why the foam strips are there.
I agree with you , with an all EV fleet at home, we upgraded AAA to platinum level. Reason: if I ever F up and run out of juice, they will tow me 100 miles to the charging station, this will never happen in WA, OR or CA but things are different in Idaho, and Montana.
Can someone please explain to the purpose of screen protector!!?? I don't get it!! It's not a phone or tablet (albeit it looks like a large tablet). My point is... It's not like I'd drop.it EVER (like a phone or tablet) I don't have diamond on finger tip to scratch up the screen. Never had one on any of my touch screen vehicles. It doesn't prevent finger prints so.. help me out here.. what am I missing?I have an extra screen protector. I installed one on my M3 and had some dust issues. They sent me a new one but I figured I could live with what it was like after the new one came.
They also retain heat in the screen. Not a plus…. None of that junk on any of mine. Even the SC recommends not using them - due to trapping in the heat.Can someone please explain to the purpose of screen protector!!?? I don't get it!!

I can't think of a reason other than because you can..

I put one on for a few reasons. We have a small dog who sometimes comes in the car so would prefer he doesn’t scratch it. We have a kid who wants to play the games on the screen with a wireless controller, he can easily hit the screen with as he is not always careful. Less glare. Finally it is a small cost to have some extra protection. I doubt it would break but could get scratched. Installed the Spigen with the install contraption and it was very easy.Can someone please explain to the purpose of screen protector!!?? I don't get it!!

I know that feeling.Figured. I just tried calling into the main line to speak to a sales advisor but they are closed. My exact build has been sitting in inventory in Minnesota, just nobody else apparently interested.
That makes sense (the tire shop not having the jack pucks). Time to add something else to the Amazon cart.I agree with you , with an all EV fleet at home, we upgraded AAA to platinum level.

Same as if you have a flat...AaA will towl you to the tire shop on a flatbed. HOWEVER...i.did purchase the jack pucks because not everyone or tireshops knows to carry jacking pucks when you purchase your new tires.
Just my 2 cents,

Had the same convo with my wife last night (about the spare tire). In the end, decided that roadside assistance (AAA and others) would be enough in an emergency. Thinking about it, yeah, it's been a while since I had a flat.So I am a bean counter and I am all for statistics and numbers. Having a spare time is DUMB (except for a jeep on a Rubicon trail run). To be clear, I am not saying you're dumb, rather... It's the concept of hauling a 30 lbs wight (yes! Even on your "road trips". It's right up ther with ppl insisting on changing their own tires (what the Hell for? Call AAA and dont break a sweat nor get your hands dirty).
Why chuck along the weight and taking up the space on a road trip where the probability of getting a flat on a good conditioned.tires is remote?!
Now I can agree with you if you are somewhere that is 100 miles away from civilization and tire shop. But tell me when was the last time you were at a place like that in a can in US???!!!
Go ahead... Since you're just waiting for your car, I thought I'd keep you busy with debates,
Cheers

I'm doing it because the place doing the PPF is throwing it in for free, I'd like the screen to have a matte finish, and because it'll help keep fingerprints off the screen.LoL
C'mon dude!! Unless your "dogs" actually have "diamonds" on them (which o suppose it can happen with you @Diamond_Dogs23
Source: What Materials Scratch Glass?
"To scratch glass, you’ll need something harder than copper, made of steel or titanium, and a little bit of a sharp edge. If there’s a smooth but hard surface against the flat surface of glass, then it’s unlikely to scratch it.
Anything sharp and of sufficient hardness will scratch glass. This makes it difficult to protect against because almost anything in a vandal’s home can get used for tagging or scratching.

I suspect it may be to protect the outer edge of the factory wheels from damage due to chafing over time since these aftermarket covers go over the edge - the factory wheel covers don't.
I don't agree with you on this one. I see the complete opposite perspective! why would I choose to wait potentially over an hour+ on AAA for something I could to myself in 10 minutes, just to avoid bit of work, and dirty hands?
Anyway you can put a screen shot? Mine is blank right now. Maybe you have to pick the car up first?
I had my Kona EV on lease for 22 months before getting the Y. 16 months into the lease, I picked up a nail that created a very slow leak in the left rear (about 1#/day). A month later, I picked up a short 1/4" bolt in the same tire, but no leak. My local station plugged both and told me he has plugs of a better grade than you get in stores so not to worry. I didn't and didn't have to.
Nothing will show until NJ gets the form and logs it in. Then you will see a submitted date and a pending status which eventually will change to approved. It took several weeks for me.
