Why I sold my Clarity after a year.

Agreed! I wonder what percentage of users know all the settings, functions, and options available on their smart phones? Doesn’t seem to keep our vast population from being happy users...

 

I like your analogy. I expect that the percentage of smartphone geeks is similar to the percentage of Clarity geeks.

 

I like the "Safe and Sane Mode", or "Save the Planet Mode", "Save the Vehicle Mode" or my favorite, "Save my Wallet Mode". Every one of these can be canceled by the "Save 5 minutes Mode".

I drive geriatric mode in Sport just for the fact that want to dial in all the regen braking and have it stay. It only takes a few minutes for my foot to remap to the new pedal response. I can reliably and repeatedly get over 50 mpg on any trip that I take in HV move. I can also usually get 50-55 miles on the charge also.

So my favorite mode is "Save my Wallet Mode". If I need to get there 5 minutes earlier, I just leave 5 minutes earlier.

 

My wife is exactly the same as she is the primary driver. The only thing she adapted to very quickly was plugging it in when she gets home. She loves it when it is in electric mode. She only knows that when it is cold, turn on the heat and when it is hot, turn on the AC. I just love to fiddle with everything to get absolutely the best economy and it drives her nuts.

And think about all the extra things to think about when driving a manual transmission. But anybody that has driven one for any amount of time will tell you that after a bit of time, no extra thought goes into it and it becomes its own joy. The same goes for any car full of tech.

 

For me, that can also be called: "Lower my Stress Mode" . Just relax and enjoy the ride. And speaking of "Save the Planet Mode", which I think the vast majority of us Clarity drivers subscribe to, I would recommend all of us watch the new series on Netflix "Our Planet" narrated by Richard Attenborough. Very movingly and beautifully shows us what is at stake.
