I know, that's the downside of cellular technology evolving. Hopefully 4G/5G bands will be in use for awhile. Cellular providers are barely scratching the surface of theoretical speeds/bandwidth, especially with 5G.

Got rid of this aluminium color I hated.

Now it works for me. I’m not bothered anymore that are fake. It outcome better than I thought.

After hanging out at the dealer (which one of you works at with a TNM M240), they decided to give me a loaner and have me be on my way. 24 hours, and haven't heard back yet. Other posts mentioned shark fin issues, causing TCU damage. I don't even have 2,500 miles yet, and this is disappointing. I hope I didn't get a lemon, because I really love the car otherwise.

I had that error message pop up on my dash about a month ago or so, but what was weird, it went away by itself after 15-20 min. when I talked to someone at the dealer about it they made it sound like it happens all the time and it's purely related to the Emergency Call feature within the car and nothing else. I did see horror stories of other people saying in some cases it traced back to a faulty TCU, hopefully you get yours figured out soon.

EDIT:
saw your follow up post, glad it wasn't something more serious

I must be totally missing the point of making your brake lights darker

I’m pretty sure you take pride in being smart so it won’t be that hard to figure out

Most trolls can’t figure it out so don’t even try with this guy

Because it actually does not change a significant thing and looks for him better.
Simple as that.

Looks better granted. However, all covered lights are dimmer, significantly in some cases - not a good thing hence the laws surrounding tail light tints. In the case of the one above, looks like it it’s illegal I.e 50%+

Maybe during the day you notice something but in the evening you don’t actually notice the difference

I don’t consider myself a troll, others might, but I don’t get it either.

Your car has the lighter tint tho.

Yes because I still may have problems with police here so I went for the lightest version otherwise I would install the darker one.

Spoiler will be replaced, it’s 100% an faulty unit.

Waiting for the new one.

Hit 5 digits on the odometer. Can't believe it's already been 8 months with this car.

Well, it makes sense with you. Your user name has "geezer" in it.

popped up again today, and just like last time went away by itself so 🤷‍♂️ what's (maybe) funny was low on gas and pulling into a station with less than 20 mi range displayed when it happened, and the car wigged out electronically in general saying my key was missing and other stuff even though the fob was in the console.
