The P5: What Would You Change?

[Ekh]

1. Dual Beam Headlights for Separate High Beam and Low Beam.
2. Sykzmatic App for iPad, Android, and Windows. For Our own Current and Future Tablets.
3. Fog Lights as an Option.
4. Fully Reclining Driver Seat for the Commuters that Want or Need to take a Nap in the Vehicle.
5. Standard Rear View Mirror to see Directly Behind the Vehicle. You Need to See how Fast the Vehicle behind You is approaching to determine how Fast or Slow and the Distance You Need to Stop behind the Vehicle in front of You.
6. Side Marker/Turn Signal Lights on the Rear side of the Wheel Pods.
7. Option for HID Headlights.
8. Standard Automatic Lights/Daytime Running Lights.
9. Ability to Turn Off Traction Control when NEEDED. Example is when going over Steep Hills or Mountains and Slow Vehicles ahead of You start Slipping and Sliding because of either Too Slow Speed or Bad Tires and You Need to Get Around and Past them. The Only Way is to Shut Off Traction Control to Get Past them, then You can Turn Traction Control back on.

Jerome told me a long time back that traction control on/off was important -- "We live in Michigan," he said, "and we get this."

I'm sympathetic to your position. ..
"Now," they said, "when you come in for your pre-registration, you need to bring all your medications with you." That's where I lost it. 'You have the list," I said. "It's current and correct, so live with it. I refuse."..!

I'm not counter pointing your statement here, but I know why they do that. People are dysfunctional. There is the overwhelming situation that people are using two or more doctors or specialists for their medications, and don't like to admit it. And they are trying to hide that fact from each of the doctors.
For the specialists or surgeon's, when that causes trouble its blamed on the current ones.
Every once in a while this methods catches a med not listed.
Anyway, it's a dysfunctional way to try and catch what some may try and hide.
Now on the other hand, they don't mind your refusal. Just asking takes the issue off their responsibility. And when you refuse, it's even less their fault, at least in a court-room cross examination.

Actually, it's entirely possible that EM may not be thinking defensively, or paying anything in legal bills they don't have to. But the camera issue? It's still up in the air so far as I know, and is not planned as a no-cost feature.

possible but I doubt it .... as noted, the sudden change for having a sanctioned trailer towing option indicates to me they are being proactive

The Same Technology that's used in Rear View Mirrors inside of Motorcycle Helmets. That's how.

Sorry, I'm not sure I understand. There is no rear window, so no interior-mounted mirror is going to be able to see directly behind the vehicle under any circumstance.

I could see mounting the monitor for a rearview camera in the rearview mirror spot on the windshield. I won't be doing it, but it would allow the ones amongst us that have to see everything behind them, a feasible way to do it without taking up any more dash space.

Could've sworn we've been over this topic before...Deja Vu!

Oh man, that would confuse me to no end! Unless there is a way to flip the screen projection so it actually works like a mirror would Cars viewed through a camera facing backwards would appear to move opposite than they would in a mirror (unless rear-view cameras already account for this? I've never owned one myself).

I just put one in the Nitro and I love it. It's when people keep posting the ones that are over $100 that makes me cringe; mine was $43.00 and it works just fine; including in the evening. Sethodine, don't worry about the reverse view, it's never been an issue.
But I saw a few posts back that we have a new member that has brought up topics that we have covered in detail many times; most of them are not problems any longer. NSTG8R is right, Deja Vu; do we really need to rehash them again?

Yes?

We have!
So, to reiterate, I'm going to mount my screen on/in the flip-down visor.
When it's not in use, it'll be completely hidden and out of the way.

I haven't heard anyone mention this yet (probably missed it), but is the final production car going to have only a lap belt in the back seat like the P5?
