Well I just did a 12 hour test, from about 7pm to 7am in my garage Gear Guard Off at home. Very happy with results. Lost 1 mile of range and used 0.6 kWh. This seems like a pretty big improvement.
But the drain is apparently only fixed when at home and Gear Guard is off or set to off at home. Have you tested?
Improved range loss by more than 25% during sleep when the vehicle is home and Gear Guard is set to Off at Home, or when Gear Guard is disabled.
The problem is we need a 7-seater SUV (and prefer captains seats in the middle row) BUT there are virtually no PHEV 7-seat SUVs that I'm aware of on the market.

The R1T is MUCH more compliant over small bumps, it's like the old Rally Mode...

This is pretty much where I am at. If you didn't tell me there was an improvement I probably wouldn't have noticed it. You guys who are noticing huge improvements are much more in-tune drivers than I am!
I don't notice much difference at all at low speeds. At higher speeds, it does feel a...
Yes, I don't ever see a use case where I would have both, other than if I'm traveling and have bikes on a rack but like to use a tailgate pad for shuttling to trails. Just did this last weekend, where I had my tailgate pad on with my bike rack, took the rack off when we got to our destination...
