I have noticed as the weather has got colder and more electrical items are used like heated seats, steering wheel, lights etc etc that the fuel consumption has dropped only slightly at present and not quite as often on EV, I wonder how things will develop as we get deeper into the colder months.
On my last car it had lots of outside items like 360 camera, collision avoidance, parking sensors etc, but when it snowed they didn't work very well even if I cleared the snow or ice, only time will tell how the Tucson will fair under same conditions.
I have used the adaptive cruise many times and it has worked very well but never at night, but the other day I was driving late evening on a 3 lane major road put on adaptive cruise and it didn't seem to have the same feel about it as in day light it was more twitchy as if it couldn't read the road as well in the dark as during day light.
