I brought the truck in for recall download, 30k service, and a faulty front center-left parking sensor. Other than the typical BS upsells (wipers, cabin filter, tire rotation), they wanted to do a coolant flush, which they said is recommended every 10k. WTF? Does this make sense to anybody? I declined because if it was the battery coolant, it’s good unless it tested bad, not because it was too old at 30k. That stuff should go for at least 100k or more. Before I question them further when I talk to them again, do you know what they were trying to do? Even ICE doesn’t need any coolant flushing that often. Brakes? But even brake fluid should be good for far more than 30k. Of course, this is a 2023, so maybe they are thinking brake fluid every 3 years and I misunderstood?

I generally see either short ones or long ones available. Is size really just personal preference and taste? (I know, it’s hard not to make a joke here lol) In otherwords, are the short ones ineffective and I really need to get the big ol’ hangers? Or will the shorter ones take care of 80% of the issue? It’s not like I do a lot of mudding, but I’m on enough dirt roads that my fenders get dirty. Thanks again, you guys are the best!

For instance, if I let up on the accelerator (single pedal driving not enabled) at 45mph on a flat road, the far left percentage shows a little green, but it doesn’t light up extra green in the middle and show the shooting green on the right of the gauge. If I brake, it’ll show regeneration as normal, but at that slow coast, is it also regenerating even if not displayed as such? If not, do I have to hard-brake to get the benefit? The single pedal mode is too aggressive for my comfort and unfortunately, it’s not adjustable, so I just don’t use it. Thanks!
