GV60 as a leaf collector

[gknyce]

Subject is tongue-in-cheek but honestly, I have _never_ had a car collect so many leaves under the hood! I unavoidably have to park under a cherry tree, and as it is Fall and it is dropping leaves with abandon, I've been removing leaves from around the wiper area. However, the leaves seem to work their way in to the interior of the car, under the hood - heck, someone I've had leaves get into the frunk. What is a step above annoyance is that they are getting into hard-to-reach places, as in, the tray and below the 12v battery, where I can't reach them nor can my Shop vac get too. I've purchased some attachments to help extend it down there, and have managed to get most of them, but what a PITA. And perhaps overblown as a concern, but... it bothers me, knowing they are there.

My GV60 is but an amateur in this arena, collecting but a fraction of your haul, yet still impressive. I will tell it to do better.

I have noticed that too.
BTW, my wife’s XC60 does pretty much the same.

Yup - I am constantly pulling leaves out from the area below the windshield behind the hood. This car loves leaves!

Rivian has a similar problem it seems. EV-specific somehow?
