Warm here too… Lol it’s almost mid November.

This will make spring seem to get here quicker, I thought of that last night.

Winter here in Memphis consists of mostly 30 to 50° weather, overcast or rain everyday! Lol

Not my favorite season.

Heated seats are a must for cold weather.
Non-negotiable.

Heated wheel would be a nice bonus but I don't have that. 🐋

Your wish is my command.
From here henceforth, winter is officially cancelled!

Oh I'm hoping we get another crazy amount of snow...probably not 10 inches again but a legit snow. I sure had fun with the LX over that week. The entire city was just basically closed.

That's sorta how it is here, the weather patterns I've noticed over my life. It'll snow a decent amount for a couple or several years, then nothing for a decade.

But it hasn't gotten cold here yet (or there either I assume), so when it does I feel like winter won't seem as long, lol.

Re: heated stuff

Heated seats and steering wheel are great. Armrest is amazing I'm sure. The LX has a good heated wheel, but of course, the GMC will burn your hands off in 30 seconds.

Heated wheel is much hotter in the W223 than it was in the 222 also.

If I never see snow again that would be just fine with me lol

I had to adjust my wheel in the W12, stock setting was matching the HVAC temp +2 degrees but I like to actually feel it so I set it to +15

That's nice you can set intensity. I'm sure other cars have it but that's the first I've heard of it.

Well you can and can't.....I'm doing it via coding. I can set footwell/face/rear setting offsets via the normal interface but stuff like heater temp, time, step down time, and activation states have to be done via coding.

I have my seats set to automatically come on at level 2 heat when started if exterior temp is under 50, then turn off after 10 min but only if the seat sensors detect someone there.

Same thing with the massage functions in all 4 seats, I have the levels set differently and timers as well. Stock only allows 80% pressure and I have my seat set to 90% and 30 min activation time vs 10? I think stock is 10 or 15 at a time....

Right now we're in perfect weather for driving with the windows down and heated seats on.
Was in Vegas this week and that’s exactly what I did in the Tesla I rented. I saw $4.70 gas and glad I got the Tesla. Cost me $14 to charge for the week. Sema was fun saw a lot of cool stuff there!!
