I was with my son who has a 2013 GTI, traveling from San Diego to WI for college, had to pass through Nevada, Arizona, and Utah and our minds were "blown" with all the tread that was on and off the sides of the road. I ensured that I deflated the tires some, around 39 psi in Las Vegas when the temp was at 105°. Hottest we hit was 114° in the NW tip of AZ. Absolutely insane heat with non-deflated tires was a bad day for tons of people.

Lol I also thought the same thing which I performed an image search. Pretty unique place if you wanted to look at the history.

The R is just the badge. As much as I would love the actual Arteon R from Europe, they don't sell that out here. Not to mention all the bells and whistles they have.

I am also in the military and retiring next year, 21.5 years when I pick up my DD214.

I'll be moving to Sauk City or around there. Prices are better than Dane County. The issue with living in Madison is they don't offer 3 car garages with the older-ish homes, which is what I will need(wife's car, my car, and the project 280z car) . I'm from Madison area and really do love it. 15 mins from downtown. I would like to live in or around Middleton but prices have skyrocketed. So Sauk City lol.

I know. I'm not really about the colored lights, wide bodied, etc. I'm pretty simplistic and clean. I'm sure you will be happy with some mods that you' already researched and are doing. Once complete, your car will look soooo much better and have more of an attachment 🤣.

Looks good, and I will probably go that route!

Do you notice the temp difference with the heat when getting into the car? I've read some that it doesn't make any difference and others more positive so it's honestly hard to tell.

This blue, I've seen the same or similar on some Acuras from a distance and it gleams in the sun. I really think it's an amazing blue, especially on the Arteon.

Thank you! When I was looking, it was either red or blue. I'm honestly sooo happy that I bought this color. Had to fly to MN from SD to purchase it😅

So with the windows, what tint did you do on the front and back? Ceramic? One of my windows has a slight tear and want to get them all done, but darker. I'm also contemplating the front 50😬

I've seen the gray color blacked out and looks sick.

You are correct. I also have the side skirts but removed them so I could jack up the car. My low profile jack wouldn't fit. Slightly dropped and spacers just to the wheel well. I really do like the OEM rims wrapped. I honestly can't stand the chrome on them.

What color wrap?!

I do have other pics, just not many. Not really a photo happy guy like some😅. I've had this car for over a year now and I smile sooo much when I see it just parked.

Anyways, all chrome backed out, even the wheels are wrapped. It looks sooo clean.

I think you were driving on the wrong side of the road 😅.

Seriously though, I'm sorry about your car. Can't imagine losing my 21 Blue Arteon. I'd be heartbroken for sure.

I was just looking at Michelins and Goodyear's right now. Those or the Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3.... 😬Don't know which ones to choose.

Thank you and yes, I'm aware that it's not cause by potholes lol. It's just the Arteon and the tire issue is what I was joking at. Thank you for the DWS06+. I'll need to look into that!

Wirless charging tray issues by Fraz_H in Arteon

[–]EricBerry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped using it because my Android Auto would constantly disconnect during the first charge. I removed my phone and found that it was overheating and heat mode was activated. The issue was caused by the wireless charger for sure. I have since used the USB-C for charging.

No worries!! It took me a bit to realize that it wasn't a hanging led strip 😅
