Why not both? I like the pdf on my laptop. And I like the traditional bound paper copy in the glove box. Get one (nicely made) from Helm for $50.

This is 2024. Electronic documentation saves money and the environment AND allows them to quickly update an owner's manual.

Time for some of you to accept the fact that this isn't 1974 anymore.

Oh, and I'm an old dude.

True. But some people will say that in 2024 you should be driving a Rvian (or at least a Lightning). Time for you to accept that?

Never said it was a good idea. Just pointed to how it can be accessed.

Far as specific situations as mentioned, you are screwed if you break your glasses digging in the glove box for the printed manual. KM

Purchased a paper manual from Helm Inc

Cost:
Buy one
Use a local print shop to print you one and help your local economy

Free:
Download a PDF version to your phone or an IPAD and you can search, save, bookmark, and do more then the paper version.
Bonus, saves you 1/2 lb of payload
