My guess is they moved stuff around to make it cheaper/faster to assemble. I submitted some feedback, feels like a rip to pay tribute and not get correct info... I bought mine car new. I'm just trying to tap into one of the (numerous) can buses. Fun facts there are (at least) 10 can buses and...

I paid for a 3-day subscription to the service manual to answer this and some other questions. It says the K73 module is in the right side rear compartment (trunk). There's a bracket for it but it's not there! It's not in the left side either. (I'm guessing they moved it to the glovebox area...

I had a 6A charger hooked up when I started the usb update process and the battery still got down to < 12.2V before it was done. According to some "agm percentage" charges that indicates less than 60% charged. I suspect they got burned so badly by the lyric fiasco that they went too conservative!

It looks like there are two versions: PSC-550S (13.6V @ 55A) and PSC-700S (14.4V @ 70A).

I used SPS2 to install the update last night. Over an hour in total. It took awhile to download (and I have at&t fiber), awhile to "verify", awhile to write the usb, and about 30 minutes to install the update. I ended up with the expected version: burmese_orange-user 12...

Yesterday when I got a smog check I was at 562 miles and the O2S had not run. Today I'm at 612 miles and all I/M tests are complete! I checked when I got home yesterday (still < 600 miles) and O2S was incomplete. I did not drive more than 30 MPH today so I think the 48-65 guideline is bogus. I...

I got my smog check, as expected it was a fail. Hours later I do not see the vin listed on the BAR site. Once it makes its way into the database I should be able to call the state and get a waiver. I also got a vin inspection (El Cerrito, CA). Pro tip: you do not need an appointment or to even...

Here's the service bulletin mentioned in the other thread. It sounds like the cars are not even running the O2S test until some conditions are met. It also says: I tried calling and eventually was told I needed to go get a fail and then I could call back and get a waiver. Page 3 of the...

That is pretty amusing to me; I reached out to Findlay several times but could not get any response from them. Glad you had better luck. It would have been nice to fly to Vegas and drive home instead of spending $2.5K on an enclosed trailer... Still, I have the car with ever single option I...

I'm in an adjacent boat; 2025 5BW with 520 miles. My remaining missing I/M test is also O2S. (Also guessing you're also a Sewell customer and live in CA.) I had been using an Autel MS300 to retrieve I/M status but after a couple of years it go flaky so I got an Innova 5210 which I like. This is...

Mine says "build number burmese_orange-user 12 W23E-178.1.2-M174-SQBR6-93.3 93"

My 2025 says it has the android security patch level September 5, 2024. I have no idea how to map the date to the version...

Every dealer knows one month in advance the number of allocations that they will receive by week for the next 4 weeks.

I waited 13 months for an allocation (but I did get all the carbon fiber bits).

Mine was built on May 21st, 2025 was delivered to the dealer (in Dallas) 27 days later. There are some other details here. Something that helped my transit time was that it shipped via trunk instead of rail.
