Here you go - sadly the "Fleet Average" doesn't display and the "Software Markers" generates an error - c'es la vie.

Nothing has happened for us in the last year or two - had some initial teething problems with the displays - so I haven't been around much. I was wondering what the long term reliability was like...did some thread searching...and saw battery degradation mentioned. Hadn't even thought of that...

So I asked something up the thread and didn't really get a response - what do you get with winter tires? I can easily see the costs - my question is more like...can you get up steeper driveways? Over mountain passes that haven't been plowed as recently? Do winter tires do anything to help offset...

I've got 34k miles on my original Scorpions - love the look (on darks), don't really care about efficiency, and of course don't like the noise. 100% on paved roads except for our second home in Cle Elum where gravel is common and - in particular - we have a winding gravel driveway that has a...

@B Digs I just noticed that the Territory ATs are on the Tire Rack site - and now I'm thinking that I might have been searching for 275/65 when these are 275/60. Since you were involved with the development of these tires, can you comment on why the smaller diameter was chosen?

@2kwik4u thank you for that - that’s looking like the approach where you drive around with a bunch of tires, “do your own research”, and have to put together a solution - I’m really hoping for a more integrated approach with a track record - warranty/service/etc. I guess I can wait until others...

@B Digs - OK, I'm ready to pull the trigger on replacing my Scorpions with almost 36k miles but I can't seem to configure this tire on Costco/Discount Tire/Tire Rack. I can get to the tire on the Goodyear.com site but my only option there is "Tires + Installation" and (of course) there are no...

Dang you guys are cynical. :) Sure they did that literally one time price increase (honoring the lower price for all reservation holders) because - hey - the world changed. But yes, they will prioritize "launch edition" flagships. And yes, they will soft-launch to employees willing to be test...

I had a similar experience this past weekend - fortunately with no harm done. We were heading up to our place in Cle Elum and there was about 2" of fresh snow on the plowed driveway - I figured it wouldn't be a problem in Snow Mode. Well, every time I let off the accelerator the regen...

Actually, this one's a big one for me - my wife is extremely irritated that it has (to date) only been my music accounts. If she can get her Spotify, that's going to be a win for me. Also: Objects on the driver display now fade in and out for a smoother transition. I don't pay much attention...

Mixed emotions on this - I have it my GX470 (and leave it off), my wife had it in here old LS430 (and left it on) - but Lexus makes it easy to disable (move the little L/R mirror control to the center). Lexus uses plastic/nylon gears in the mirror controls and they start to degrade after a few...

I'm hoping for a freaking odometer. They could put it where they just added that compass (which I have NEVER heard a request for).

Right - but I recall that Costco / Tire Rack will refuse to install these on a Rivian. How are folks getting around this?

I've been waiting for this tire for almost a year - love the original Defender on my GX470 - and recall there was an issue with with the tire shops not having this option for a Rivian. How are folks getting these tires installed? I just checked the Costco configurator and they have no option...

I hugely preferred last year's sounds and animations over this year's skins. I dinked around with this year's themes once - then showed them to my grandkids who LOVED them. For 10 minutes, After that...nothing...though I do notice that the light bars seem to animate. I assume that will go away...
