I do between 75 and 80+ every single day. Did it for an hour and a half just this morning. I bet 80% of my driving is done in that range.

I had it pretty low, so I wanted as much time as I could get to react to pot holes and road debris.

For GEN1 it has a tendency to lift right above each of the two center vents. It's because there is only one connector there, between the two vents so it rises slightly (at least on mine) each side of that.

Mine looks exactly like this, and has since about a month after the warranty ended.

EDIT: There is a thread that discusses fixing it.

On the news last night, they were comparing various snow loads on rooves to refrigerators, grand pianos and semi-tractor trailers.
(they didn't specify if the trailer was included or what was in it)

Calling people snowflakes is demeaning. You shouldn't do that.

New phone, who dis?

Anyone who ever said unplugging or going off grid is relaxing is full of crap. I can assure you that everything is harder and more frustrating when you don't have a cellphone in 2023.
