That first mile they were driven was brutal, I don`t know if the guys were instructed to drive that fast to save time or they were just having a good time but jamming gears, overreving and screeching tires were familiar sounds on the docks. Hopefully, things have changed these days, I certainly wouldn`t have wanted to pay full price for a car that was transported by the crews I worked with. I have to admit that all of us temps would have loved to trade places with the offload drivers but they had seniority and we had none.

This kind of work is provided by 3rd parties at minimum wage. However having the transport mode the cars are better protected against abuse. |

There's a staging area in the VDC with ceiling-mounted ICOM units. All they are doing is just updating the I-Step, this would have applied to cars like the E90 and E60 back in the day. Most of the time nothing is done since the shipping time from factory to port is usually less than the release cycle for an I-Step.

Just as transport mode can be set, it can also be turn off.
Although maybe they don't tell the secret code to the movers.
