I felt like going for a drive again.
Vehicle and environment
v1.19.31, P85, 21" wheels, initial rated range of 231mi.
Outside temperature range (32, 45)F
Raining the whole way
Speed limit range [35, 70]mph
Two stops: Bellevue mall (vehicle inactive for 30min roughly), Longhorn BBQ (lunch for 30min roughly)
Settings
Windshield wipers @ [0,1]
Driver's seat heater @ 1
CC @ Auto/Non-Recirc/Auto/3/74F
Zero fog on windshield the whole time. Wipers kept up (sometimes too well).
Pictures
One light ahead of me, I found a kindred spirit. And caught up to him at the courtesy parking.
Of course, the license plate is worth its own picture.
Second leg of the trip ended with lunch. I highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area. For the curious, I had chili, potato salad, and a brisket sandwich.
Trip Meters from the journey:
Route for my trip is roughly this:
http://binged.it/112FMI9
1. Start in Sammamish.
2. Follow 202 westbound to 520 W to 405 S to NE 8th to Bellevue Way into mall parking.
3. Follow 405 S to 167 to Longhorn Barbecue.
4. Follow 405 N to 90 E to Exit 38 (where it was snowing).
5. Follow 90 W to 405 N to 520 E to 202 eastbound.
6. Wander for another 10 miles or so because I was in the mood to drain the battery a bit more.
Some observations from the trip:
1. After getting the ClearPlex on my windshield, my wipers went from "barely enough on 3" to "often too fast on 1". Interesting. [No firmware updates involved in the changed experience.]
2. Along 167, I think my speedometer briefly bounced to km/h. That's clearly the only thing that would explain the digital 103 that I saw.
