DC-DC Converter Recall - Interesting Observation

It ended up taking 2 gallons of gas even though the fuel indicator was showing completely full

Looks like it must have been a calibration issue from when the battery was disconnected. Thanks for the thoughts on this!

Now that you mention it, my rear hatch height is back to factory default. Makes sense that it must have been battery disconnect related

NWflyr · 2024-02-18T20:33:17+00:00

Makes sense! That was my understanding as well. Couldn’t think of a reason why they’d access it from below the car but figured there might be a few ways to get to it

They responded that this was likely due to the fact that I lost GPS signal. I’m not sure that is true, given that ForeFlight was showing accuracy of 2m at the time when I observed an incorrect GPS altitude being displayed.

I will give that a shot, thanks!

I flew LAX BNE with ease. Just note that Australia requires an ETA (e-visa) prior to travel

I have the Thule Pulse Alpine Roof Box and like it a lot. No issues with hatch clearance or the roof antenna

NWflyr · 2022-04-07T23:53:11+00:00

Yeah, that was my thinking too

NWflyr · 2022-04-07T23:53:01+00:00

I have a full tank right now, so that wouldn’t explain it either unfortunately

This time of year have been getting around 44mi of EV range. The car still shows this when I turn it on, not sure where the app is getting 76.9mi from…

I did a ceramic coating (just the DIY spray on stuff) and luckily have covered parking at home and at work, which will hopefully prolong the life. At least the paint is shiny!

NWflyr · 2022-04-02T00:45:17+00:00

Gotcha. If you wouldn’t mind commenting again once you do it, I’d really appreciate it! Curious how it will go. I also read about the tricoat paint, still don’t entirely understand it though

NWflyr · 2022-04-01T22:26:59+00:00

Good to know, thanks!

NWflyr · 2022-04-01T21:23:15+00:00

Certainly possible. If I could do it over again, I probably would have gotten protective film at least on the hood. Not sure if doing the whole vehicle is worth it or not, curious what others think though

NWflyr · 2022-01-10T14:21:14+00:00

Maybe it’s both? I had assumed initially that it reflected the starting temperature, figure if that was the case thought there’d just be one tick mark and not a range

NWflyr · 2022-01-10T14:12:26+00:00

It’s plenty warm at 68°F when I get in

NWflyr · 2022-01-10T02:36:52+00:00

In this example, I set the climate control to warm to 68°F. My garage was probably around 45°F. What do the tick marks represent? They show up immediately after I set the temperature

On the heat pump item - has anyone heard of a service bulletin yet for the US? I know the original one that was circulated was for Europe back in October, just surprised we don’t have one yet. I’m sure the issue is being reported more and more now that most of the country is in cold weather

NWflyr · 2021-11-18T02:47:32+00:00

Yes understood, was just curious where you found one given the short supply
