For something like low tire pressure, won't a monthly report be too late?
- saghm 4y agoIt sounds like the monthly report and the notifications for tire pressure and the like are separate things
- Symbiote 4y agoCan't this just be shown on the dashboard? I had a similar warning come up on a hire car last month.
- bonestamp2 4y agoYes, it shows on the dash and in the monthly reports.
- Eleison23 4y agoSoon the car will just purchase its own new tires, or drive itself around town in search of a working air pump.
- ipaddr 4y agoLow gas should come in a monthly report you can pickup it up on your way walking your empty car home. Or a door is open report that you can receive as you lay on the side of the road.
- crooked-v 4y agoI have a 2012 Mini with no connectivity at all that has tire pressure warnings.
- KMag 4y agoThere's some kind of corollary to Zewinski's Law of Software Envelopment: device developers are incentivized to "innovate" their product to the point it can send email.
- js2 4y agoUnless a tire is punctured, it only loses air slowly over time, but not enough you'd really notice looking at them, but still enough that it's bad for tire wear. It's a nice reminder to me I need to add air to the tires. The car's dashboard display also shows the tire pressures, but: a) My wife, for whatever reason, seems blind to anything the car shows her on the dashboard. :-( b) She'd have to put the dashboard to the screen which shows tire pressure. The TPMS doesn't alert till pressure is quite low. They are supposed to be 36 PSI. The TPMS won't alert till they are below 25 PSI or some such.
- shortstuffsushi 4y agoI have also had your experience, but my resolution was just to swap cars for a day every couple weeks. The threshold on her car was higher though, I believe 29 (same ~35-36 normal range), so if they dropped she'd at least be alerted sooner if I didn't see it.
