Picked up a nail and had to take it in for a fix. . . Picked up this nail, well after making it through all the obstacles that I encountered "off-roading" the Type-S. How's that for irony.

By the way, the employee at Discount/ Americas tire apologized for how long the repair took (wasnt that bad) because he said each time they tried to patch the "goo" within the tire got in the way. I asked, "arent these self sealing tires?" His response was "no, I think that stuff is in there for sound deadening, like teslas. . ."

Caused me to do a little more research on the tire. Turns out both can be right. . . self sealing and noise reducing.

Nice, wish I had not had caught a nail.

Took it in for the recall (2024 MDX TypeS), told them I would be waiting, they said it would take an hour, I pointed to them the recall notice that said 20 minutes, said they had guys at lunch, I politely asked if they could try to get it done by the time I needed to return to work (tried to do this on lunch break), they had it done in about 30 min.

Definitely no noticeable difference.

Nah, you are totally right, I should go back to the dealership and tell them that they lied to me in that they completed a 20 minute software upgrade in about 30 minutes.

I mean, I should have gotten a huge huge boost in performance.

I mean, a software upgrade isn't actually done for real unless you sit there with them and supervise over their shoulder, right?



I have the certificate from the dealership that the emissions update was done, which is all I need (for future registrations). That was the only reason for the recall, so I am satisfied, but if conspiracy theories are your thing... Have at it. Happy Sunday!
