Apparently the only thing I'm good at is accelerating in a straight line.

I’m blown away by some of these 1+ on the braking side of things.

I love driving (and riding on my bikes) down the 35 to the 9.. the newly paved 9 from the 35 is perfect... except when you get stuck behind some slowpoke.. I found myself stopping the car for a minute, then catching up to them over and over the other day 😂

The newly paved section is amazing. Trick is to get out before 8a if you want some open roads.

Didn’t think it was possible to get this high on the street and without stickier rubber. Unreal.

I just got my car back Friday after almost two weeks of “recall software updates” and the only changes I can notice so far is my G-Force Max won’t save between drives and my headlights have an A in them when in Auto when it didn’t used to. Headlights also go from white to green now and I believe they used to just always be white, whether or not they were on or off in auto.

Anyway to my point... I can’t get my Gs to save anymore.. anyone else have this issue since the software recalls? I don’t exactly know which recalls they did but I’m sure I could find out.

Same here. After the so called "upgrade", not saving G max.
I haven't paid attention to the headlight switch.

Weird. I just had my car in for an oil change last week and I don’t think they upgraded my software at all. If they did, my Max G is still working just fine.

Mine also resets after each drive.

I am obviously doing something incorrect and not getting my money out of the car. I have had the car 6 months, about 5k miles (mostly highway) and pulled up the max g-force view. I am embarrassed to say that I have not exceeded the default set at the factory in either direction. 1.0 on the acceleration/braking and .75 on the lateral. Guess its time to get off the highways and hit the back roads and start hammering the car.

I wouldn't be embarrassed, everyone is at a diff skill level. Best to work your way up slowly and get to know the car.

My car's Max G-Force is now also resetting itself to 0.00 after my dealership ran some updates last Friday. And maybe that 1.14G that I pulled a while back using launch control was an anomaly because my car pretty consistently gets 1.11G when accelerating. I can't seem to top that number anymore. I may try adding some octane booster or racing fuel the next time I gas up to see if it helps.

I’d be really interested to see if that makes any difference. I wonder if they are going to fix that reset problem soon. Though I don’t want to take my car in there again, it’s spent enough time in the shop.
