I was going to ask the same question. SW update for ADAS permanent preferences, yes! I guess implied with service resets, manuals and spare parts is the overall service strategy. I get that the Bosch network might not have been the way to go (that would have been largely irrelevant in the US, anyhow - just not a well-developed network) - but they could REALLY make the service thing a far less painful issue in the US if they just opened it up - made the manual and parts catalogue available, did regional parts stocking with 24-48 hour SLA’s, and opened the shop SW/portal. Yeah, they might have SLIGHTLY higher “false positives” on warranty claims, but a HELL of a lot more sales. Most of us have local shops we like to work with - my independent shop (exclusively services European imports) loves my Grenadier and thinks it’s easy to service. If they’re confident in their product, they should be comfortable taking an open-network service approach. Most major manufacturers do it.
I wouldn’t really expect them to respond here - but I do think they need to get in front of the messaging if they want sales to continue. SW update (ADAS preferences and errors), service strategy (open!!!), spare parts (availability) - they address those, and a lot of the headache disappears.
I am not intending this to be a confrontational thing. IA have a very loyal fan base who are very committed to the brand and the product. I will be pointing that out. I’ll attempt to do this at the weekend. Its been a pretty mental week.
Mental week? Really? How odd.

Maybe that would offset some of my losses from the week. I was DMing a member earlier who converted everything to a money market account earlier in the year - I hate intelligent people.And I hear the Humourless One is interested in making a deal for your Beautiful screen name
Don't worry, modern investment theory will suggest they will miss the bottom or the top and miss the majority of the gains that can be made just by hanging on in there. If you are not a day trader, most short term maket movements are just noise!
Let us add TPMS to the list.
What specifically about the TPMS?
Sorry if I missed recent development. My impression had been that getting a 2nd set of wheels working is a hassle and only possible at INEOS dealership. Is this not the case anymore?
Not at all - the sensors are easily cloned. I run a separate set of wheels in the winter so did a wheel and tire swap in November, and back in March. No issues with TPMS. Nothing proprietary- no dealer involved
My tyre guy used some universal sensors and cloned the oem ones - no problem at all and they work perfectly
Cloning isn’t a solution for every tire rotation. That’s the bigger issue. You shouldn’t have to reprogram sensor every time you move the wheels
