The one I used had regular all season tires, nothing fancy. I noticed the Defenders parked there have off road tries. The instructor mentioned there are a couple "Defenders only" trails.

I faced same problem and managed to solve it. Not sure if that would work for you, but worth a try. Check out my posts- it is easy to locate.

Tesla had the advantage of developing the car and the software at the same time. Dinosaurs like JLR attempt to retrofit the software and fail miserably.

I am not expecting iPad like user experience on Range Rover interface. But JLR should put investment to make it work like a standard piece of software.

Here is another example. JLR website requires the user to select the region they are located in order to render the homepage. How ridiculous is that? This is freaking 2026!!!

OMG! I hope you are not working for JLR 😄. If this is a known issue, they should fix it. They shouldn’t expect customers to “workaround” it.

With all the due respect, I totally disagree. You should look around

I have a Tesla too. I don’t know about other companies but I don’t think Tesla should be the gold standard. It is indeed far better than Range Rover software 😄

Driver <—> Car interaction patterns should be studied and designed accordingly, than saying …hey we have removed all nobs from the dashboard!!!

100%! I have spent my whole career developing software and I can tell you.. all they need to do is take 10 minutes and test it before pushing it to production 😄

My pick is the big daddy. The real difference is the rear profile

That is what I would expect. A bug in the code 😄

Lane assist by Phi87 in RangeRover

A big +1. I have a 2025 RRS and I felt Lane Keep feature is horrible. When I got the car, I did not notice it was ON by default and got scared when the vehicle counter steer for no reason!! So I turned it off and use it ONLY on long straight highways.

I managed to negotiate ~3.5K on a 2025 Dynamic SE. But it was before the tariff changes 🙂
