Also allows fine software control of the AWD system. I have an Outlander PHEV with an electric motor on each axle and the AWD and traction system is the best I’ve ever used in 30 years of driving AWD vehicles up and down snowy mountain passes and ski hills for the same amount of time.

I shower with mine after a mountain bike ride to clean the sweat and grime from the watch and band. So generally a couple times a week.

For most people, it’s still much cheaper. But, end game, if overall ownership costs end up being the same as an ICE vehicle… that’s a net positive for the entire planet.
