Found the backpacker.

They don't have to rebuild the intersection; they just have to redo the signal timing so that the thru green for the bike lane isn't in the same phase as the right turn green for the general purpose lane. (Okay, so they might have to add a right arrow signal head too. Still, cheaper than new pavement.)

They just don't want to do it because it would probably reduce level of service for cars and they don't care enough about cyclists' safety to make that trade-off.

IMO that is sheer incompetence on the part of the traffic engineer who designed it.

Also, some people are willing to pay a premium for good looks and/or HDMI CEC.

That seems likely, yes, but you don't know for sure without CFD or wind tunnel testing. It could be that there's some weird detail with the fastback that somehow manages to make it worse.

I do if I want to take it on proper off-road trails, mudding and rock-crawling and such.

It is possible, but when I did it just now your only mentions of "home depot" that came up were actually about the store, not an analogy.

You can "save" or "star" your own comments, BTW, which could make it easier to find if you keep the list short.

CarPlay itself, perhaps not. The telemetry, ads, annoying safety nagging, and sometimes even paywalled vehicle features that tend to be implemented alongside it (because the underlying computerization facilitates both the good and the bad) is, though.

If you do the configurator, it requires the squareback as a prerequisite. So you're buying the roof and then taking it off again.

Your ISP must have a colocated Steam cache.

I'm torn because the fastback looks cooler but it has less cargo capacity (both inside and on the roof rack).

Then again, I also really like the "open air kit" which apparently requires the squareback, so maybe the decision would be easy.

Hopefully my neighbors will rejoice as I no longer have to cut and drill steel.

My next goal is to find another junk trailer so I can get the wheels more centered and have better handling and keep the rear of the trailer from scraping when going up and down driveways.
