Default Odd time zone change when subscriptions expired

Just throwing this out there because it freaked my wife out. Today her clock was off 5 hours when she got in the car. The included subscription expired today and for some reason her car’s time zone was changed to Hawaii. Easy fix but weird.

We just got the expiration notice too...will check the time zone.

I remember the dealer telling that the location in the MAP app always started in Washington DC!

Maybe you guys have wives who secretly drive the car to Hawaii. And yes....they likely have the "waterproof" package on the car.

I wish Lexus had given us a free trip to Hawaii so that we could sync the clock. <<SNIFF>>

Always follow the great circle route, especially with these gas prices. Unless you're FWD or it's winter. Then highly recommend going thru the southern states instead.

In general, when you're going to Hawaii from east of the Mississippi, gas prices are not the biggest concern.
