Steering heavier than before - anyone else? [Edit] I’m an idiot - my fault!

PSI looks good on the TPMS, but “feels” like low air. The slower the worse the feel (like backing into a parking spot). Will check with true tire pressure gauge, but has anyone else experienced this?

Since we’re steer by wire I’m assuming the “feel” should be insulated, but maybe not.

[Edit] This is so embarrassing but I am a complete buffoon. I totally didn’t connect the aftermarket tray I’d purchased with the heavy feel. Fast forward to today after some time out of town and I realized that was the culprit. Solution is to scooch to the side as shown in last pic and it’s all good. Sorry about the false alarm.

Have you changed drive/steering modes recently?
Feel should be proportional to steering rack effort.

I’ve swapped back and forth but still happening.

Is yours a recent occurrence too? I didn’t drive much over the weekend and first really noticed it yesterday.

My steering got noticably tighter/heavier/stiffer about a week or two ago. I think it might have been after a software update....

Is there a way to independently control fan speed on driver and passenger side? Climate controls allow me to do this for temperature but not for fan speed. I thought it used to.

You can turn off passenger entirely or aim it away from them, but there is only one fan setting for the front.
