    About a quart every 400mi for my buddy. Enough for Porsche to ship him an $85,000 crate motor.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Now that they actually know what’s wrong I suspect your repair will be handled quickly.

    Porsche doesn’t really bother to repair new engines. My buddy has a 2023 GT4RS that is burning way too much oil and they are just replacing the entire engine under warranty next month. $113,000 estimate if it wasn’t a warranty fix.

    Not the best quality pics but you get the idea. Basically everything is black alcantara, yellow stitching, or carbon fiber.

    It puts a big shit-eating grin on my face every time I start it up. Did a drive on some country back roads today, I don’t think I went below 80 the whole time and the car wasn’t even breaking a sweat. Above 7000 RPM it feels like you are being launched off an aircraft carrier lol.

    Fully broken in now. It’s an absolute menace.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Mine is in the mail as of today back from Safran. They confirm significant software upgrades were made. I agree with @JWG that this was an embarrassing episode for Safran, but I am also pleased to see that, for a military contractor, they have exceptional civilian-facing customer service. They...

    My CS rep has been good about updating me and has not sent the info above yet but happy to know they are making progress.

    Remind me, are VooDoo-S/M iBeam cables readily available for the MARS?

    Does NV/Thermal Clip-on Need to Be Same Cant as Scope?

    It’s not the end of the world if they have a 20moa difference. Your POI correction might be a bit larger but otherwise it will likely be fine.

    Night Vision Sig ECHO CV25 LWIR 640x512 Thermal Clip-On

    Not mine. Not faulting it, I have some wonky setups, but Andres doesn’t claim it’s a “set once and forget” type of device.

    TigIR has six save slots for different rifles so, no…

    Night Vision Sig ECHO CV25 LWIR 640x512 Thermal Clip-On

    There is ZERO chance that this consumer-grade Sig unit is digitally collimated at the factory the way that, say, a Theon X-ELR is, and y’all are smoking some high-grade crack to believe it could be. “Collimated at the factory to within 1 mil and you can fine-tune it in the settings” is the most...

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    I will have to check when I get home from this business trip but IIRC the TAD manual says to put it on the objective, not the lock ring. Rotating a COTI doesn’t matter other than the menu might be off kilter but it’s not like changing the focus on NV takes much movement. Yes it will have a...

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    Yes. Per the manual, for PVS-14 style optics you are supposed to mount the ring with the dovetail part sticking away from the user. If I do that it sticks out so damn far. Even if I mount the ring up on the lock ring instead, it sticks out like this: If I flip the ring around, which the...

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    The mounting method is a bit odd. I have PVS-14 style optics on my binos but it does stick out surprisingly far if I use the PVS-14 side of the mount ring. TNVC even commented on it when I sent them a pic. Then again if I put it on the PVS-15 side of the ring it sits closer and I can’t actually...

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    2hrs is still pretty solid. That means it should basically be weatherproof, you just can’t go scuba diving with it like an actual frogman. I’ll ask my CS rep next time we correspond.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    I’ll have to look at my user manual but Safran’s video on it directly says 20m IIRC.

    Night Vision Safran TAD

    They both have 20m water ratings, what other environmental sealing are you referring to?
