Anything that makes the vehicle move is supposed to be under powertrain. This is worrisome and no way in hell I keep this thing out of warranty, as half shafts have been my Achilles heel since about 5000 miles.
Be happy with your Gen 1. $50k more over the OG LE for a fart's worth more speed and a half-shaft, tire-destroying feature, plus a pretty track screen with most likely limited ability isn't worth it, imo.
Full disclosure: I'd never use tank turn cuz my half-shafts are loud enough, even if they gave it to us Gen 1ers. But I wish they'd stop advertising things that never materialize...like tank turn and the original camp kitchen. More recently? The fold flat front seats on the R2, and then...
Well, easier to blame not wanting to hurt nature instead of saying "our half-shaft configuration can't handle this maneuver." ...guess they figured out how to fix that?
They put some tape here and there on my Gen 1. Sounds better, but if this wasn’t rectified in Gen 2, then no sense in “upgrading”. That full length wire mesh is just a bad design decision.
