You’re right, it is standard for cars in general, but that’s my point. I can’t say it’s the case for all modern makers, but the one reference I can go off from is polestar and it has all that shit figured out and it’s a new EV company (mostly/kind of at least). I don’t know if its the same for companies like Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, etc. There’s no reason not to change the dash settings when that’s all stored in a computer now unlike back in the day where the head unit and heat controls with separate entities entirely from the seat settings. It just seems like a hold over from how things used to be done.
I know the shit I laid out are all updatable with a software update to add toggles and I’ve heard guesses that that fishtailing is an issue with torque vectoring or something (bad tire choices could be part too, but it drives fine in snow). Its still a problem for a legacy vehicle maker that should have it more figured out than they do right now.
Regarding protein, the powders are something that are entirely optional depending on your diet. If you can reach your protein goals (0.7-1 gram protein per pound of ideal body weight, or 1 g per cm in height if you’re overweight) without whey, then you don’t need to supplement. Same thing with protein bars. If you struggle to get enough protein, then it’s really helpful to use.
One side note is that it’s also important to get that protein daily, not just on without days. You build muscle on rest days too. That’s a mistake I made when I was younger, and it make a big difference.
Yeah I think them adding a cloud sync as a paid option is entirely fair, but not something I want.
Thanks again for sharing the project!
