Loving him is like driving a new Maserati down a dead-end street

Thanks! Looks like it handled the curve pretty well. My build locked already and I left it out though. My current thinking is it would be most fun if you had a convertible, to scare others.

P.S. I was watching a Tesla FSD video and when it ran over the curb the driver acted as if nothing went wrong?!?!

I drive around potholes and manhole covers to avoid damage and make the drive as smooth as possible - drives my wife nuts.

It's all in the manual. I read it 3-4 times before the care came out but the manual was, back in feb.

Re: Innodrive (PID) and Active Lane Keep (ALK) and Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC).
Many people confuse them, and that is from my experience a big source of confusion on forums.
They are all independent systems.

To put it simply:
ACC adjusts your speed by manipulating brake/throttle. - Big fan of - a safety feature.
ALK adjusts your direction of travel by manipulating the wheel. - Big fan of - a safety feature.
PID tries to foresee things happening, and manipulates accordingly. - Not a big fan of.

As the OP said: Turn off "regard speed limits". That will be a source of unpleasantness.

@vertebae : " With active lane keep on (and your hand lightly on the steering wheel), will Innodrive continue steering at all speeds? Also, is it required that you have a destination plugged into the nav, or will it just auto-steer in your designated lane if there's no destination? "
Yes, steers at all speeds, and without any destination.

I have experienced Innodrive slowing the car on the interstate as the car approaches a hill and there are no car ahead in the lane within radar range. The car may be thinking it is approaching a barrier or something. I just hope the brake lights are on during this episode.

If the car is equipped with Innodrive, is it possible to only run ACC and ALK and not Innodrive?
