Joking aside, try it out and let us know what you think. I've yet to experience any issues. However, I don't use the phone app very regularly. I just know that it works.
The MicroSD card radeonboy suggest seems to be a good buy, so if you want to back up any videos, this is an effective and inexpensive way to go about it.
Re: The Costco dash cams - If you read the online reviews, they often fail out of the box, so you would have to return the unit any way. That was the main reason why I didn't buy it because I do not have the same luxuries in life as compared to Badhobz (aka leisure time.)
I was talking to this customer and he tells me he is trying to buy a 91 NSX that need a new clutch. The story is 20-25 years ago the guy was getting a divorce so he put it on a hoist in a shop he owned for his business and it has not moved since. Next time I see him i got to ask more questions. He said he offered the guy around 70k.

Need your guys help, about 100km after supercharger install, this thud sound showed up on the C7.
Full throttle > 4-5000rpm ish, thud thud thud, sounds like a zip tie breaking / panel hitting wheel / ???
Sound does not happen when i have the car on a lift, or in idle.
Parts removed / re installed for supercharger install: steering rack, harmonic balancer, front sway bar and links, serpentine belt, ABS module and lines moved a few inches, radiator fan, intake boots.
Otherwise waiting for a dry day to take it back to the tuner with a day permit

I told you, it’s the sound of boomer dicks getting whacked by your wheel spokes as you drive by
New telluride looks great, and their gas engines dont suck anymore and burn oil. Toyota highlander and Honda Pilot no longer top dog.
I agree, the power folding 2nd and 3rd row seats are enough for a mother to say yes in the showroom.
With the Lambda V6 (having owned 2), it was never oil burn, it was
- valve gasket leaking oil onto alternator, killing it
- water pump failures
- timing chain tensioner
- carbon buildup
The 2.5 hybrid seems better but it's only been in the market for a year.

Eh, the new 3.5 smartstream V6 apparently solves all the issues so far, and they got rid of the stupid DCT and just used a 8speed now.
Have to give kudos to them for using a 6speed auto instead of a cvt for the hybrid too for less drone
I've driven the Hyundai hybrids ~1000km each (Sonata and Santa Fe) - the geared trans just means the regen is weak and engine's in the wrong gear when you need to pass.
The 5th gen Toyota hybrid in Camry/Prius are plenty quiet and super responsive even with my asshole NYC driving because the engine is big enough.

Can't comment about the regen because I don't have enough seat time in hybrids, but being in the wrong gear would be a tranny programming issue, ain't got nothing to do with tranny type.
If it decides to downshift mid-pass, you get half a second of nothing: clutch coordination, gear swap, turbo spool.
Happens whenever the hill gets a little bit steeper / you get on the gas a little bit more than you original asked for.
Compare to the Toyota eCVT where the engine/EV motor always drive the wheels, no delays.
Really excited for the Honda V6 hybrid and Ram ER-EV because they're EV first.
Electric motor does most of the work, gas just recharges it, so torque stays flat and predictable.
Shouldn't the EV motor provide enough oomph? The X5 has a 120hp motor, and unless I'm trying to pass at highway speeds it's actually enough power most of the time and the shifts are mostly imperceptible on the ZF8.
On the highway if you are using the gas engine, the same issues you complain about would be present on a regular gas car, and when I throw it in sport mode and use the engine, it's fine.
I still think it's calibration when it's something that we've been doing for 40 years before hybridization was so common.
