Not recently, only had one on delivery day 2/14 (which delayed my delivery by 4 hours).

The pic was my last update.

Wait, you have the speed cameras update? I thought they were still working on that feature. Could you share a photo of what it looks like on the map?

Are you able to see a visible difference from the outside? That much of an increase should be noticeable when driving and looking at the truck.

I've always thought it like like more that 3 degrees, so this makes sense. It's a very visibly apparent, not like a few degrees....

Yea 3 degrees is pretty minimal so it makes sense at 7+
From an engineering perspective 3 degrees would not be worth all of the extra parts and expense due to the minimal impact on turning radius 7-10 though is significant.

Exactly.

This must have been the number all along. With those angles I get 41.2' turning circle (using the Law of Sines from the center line of the truck) compared to the advertised 43.5. Depending on how you do the math you can get +/-3ft easily so I think this is how CT started production. Can you look under the truck and see how much clearance there is between the rear wheel and the control arm. Looking at the pictures it appears there really isn't much room to improve.

Just measured it, and CONFIRMED. ~7 degrees each direction.

Wheel edge translates about 4.2 inches lock to lock, and measures about 34.5 inches in diameter. Some quick trig yields +/- 7.3 degrees of travel. Note that my measurement error probably makes this only good to +/- 5% or so, so I think the 7.1 degrees number diagnostic mode reveals is spot on.
