  1. I would probably upgrade for both. (proper usage?) for either? Agreed, I would much rather Ultra cruise. I'm sure that will be 5 years before they put it in a truck. It would be the only real reason I would see to upgrade from a supercruise truck.
  2. Most do. I prefer not to carry any more than I absolutely need to. I wouldn't be concerned about 16 or so hours a year on my truck from tailgating. That's just me, though. Exhaust is a concern, but as much as is blowing around tailgates anyway, I doubt it would really matter much. IMO. That being said, GM shuts us down at 15 minutes, so it won't work anyway. Basically the plug, in this case, IMO, is useless. There are a about 50 ways they could have tried to make it useful, but they didn't. Unfortunately.
  3. Was this at me? I would leave the truck running. But can't do that.
  4. Exactly. If they had used buttons, I would probably buy it even though I don't care for the new high country styling. But Supercruise with that, would have been worth the upgrade, IMO.
  5. I could care less about the Joneses, but I would upgrade for Supercruise if I didn't hate the console shifter that bad. I drive about 40k a year currently, and it mostly gets expensed. So I really don't care about the cost.
  6. I'm fine with the power limitations, honestly. What I have an issue with is that it can only be run for short periods with the ignition. This goes back to GM forcing this 15 minute nonsense on us though. I was going to use it to tailgate, and 400W is plenty for a TV. But, GM won't let you leave the truck running.
  7. Why do you say this? Genuine question? It has been proven on dynos that almost all cars have *SOME* bump from cold air intakes/low restriction airlifters. To deny it is to lie and demonstrate you don't understand the physics behind what is happening. So what are you proving here? Is it enough to matter, probably not. Usually its between 1 and 5% in increases. So, in the case of the 6.2, between 4 and 20HP. Would I pay for that, no. But that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
  8. Got some pics of the black chrome? I'd like to see that.
  9. You can't. GM and their infinite wisdom thought it best to remove that feature. It's annoying AF. Same with idling the truck and park, it won't stay on for more than 15 minutes, I think.
  10. I like the new infotainment system, and I would have upgraded for supercruise. But the console shifter really turns me off. Plus, part of the main reasons I bought a truck was for extended range and a second gas tank. But haven't been able to make that work currently. I may keep my 2021 and try to retro-fit Openpilot to it from Comma.ai. The main thing I wanted was supercruise, but I don't love the new front. I'm very much on the fence. However, GM didn't earn much goodwill the last month from me while my truck was out of commission.
  11. It usually starts off high based baking in the sun. Once it's been driven for a while it should normalize to the actual surrounding temps.
  12. *Allegedly*. You weren't there, and neither were we.
  13. GM do things right the first time. That's comical. I've seen enough with my truck to know that is not something they are competent enough to pull off.
  14. Don't misunderstand, it's still 100x better having it than not. On a scale of 1-10, the Outback was probably an 8-9. This is probably a 6-7. I wish supercruise had been a year earlier in these. Anyway, that is if I can ever get mine fixed......
  15. I will agree with this. The system in my truck isn't nearly as good as the system in my old outback. I wouldn't say it sucks though. It's just not as good.
  16. It depends on the setting. The closest setting may seem like it was too close, but it wasn't really. Maybe it did malfunction. Who knows. You don't know that it didn't work as designed, and neither do we. Unless there is/was dash cam footage, there is no way of knowing.
  17. Anecdotal, but I had adaptive cruise shut off on my probably a dozen times in my 13500 mile ownership. Then it finally just quit completely. I'm not saying it was failing the whole time, but it did finally quit on me. I guess I'll be driving another month without it because GM can't/won't get parts. Side note, my Outback before this never once had an eyesight issue. Nor has my fiancées forester. I'm really disappointed in the vehicle I have paid twice as much for as anything before it.
  18. Do you know if the front camera B174W camera is VIN locked? I have been told this and it doesn't make sense to me.
  19. Same issue here. It went out 4 weeks ago, and the dealer can't get parts to fix it. I'm pretty pissed that I have a truck that can't manage the same core functionality of my old subaru. I drive about 500 miles a week currently, mostly all hwy, and this is a major issue that GM seems to care not about fixing. I'm sick of the excuses about "parts" when they still keep trying to build new trucks. How about keeping working first, then worry about making new ones. Based on their handling of this situation, this may be my last GM product.
  20. I haven't been able to find one. From the sounds of it, a transfer tank is also an issue because it will throw a CEL if transferring while driving. By no means am I an expert. Just what I have heard because I tried pretty hard to find one for mine.
  21. Yeah, I found this out the hard way this weekend when my better half arrived back at the truck with bags and asked why the tailgate wouldn't lower. I'm considering the wams method just for this. I just need to figure out if I want to keep this one or get an order for a 2022 with supercruise. I'm really on the fence. Sorry for the offtopic.
  22. Yours made it an hour? Mine will shut down in 15 minutes. I'm also irritated it won't let you sit in the truck when its a conformable temp in acc mode for more than 15 minutes.
  23. A complete wild a$$ guess, but I assume the actual controller is set to a specific resolution and it fails over the rest of the screen due to the greater resolution. This is a complete guess and someone more technical than I can point out my inaccuracies.
  24. I know Openpilot doesn't officially support it, but I would be curious if it could be made to work and if anyone in the community has tried it on our trucks. I've considered buying it for some of the longer trips I take so I don't have to upgrade next year to super cruise. The ACC in the high country could just be slightly better for the lane keep on major highways and I would keep my truck a very long time. I know you guys are looking for just the capability of ACC, but I would like a little better L2 driving.
