Just took it out for a 30 min spin. Mixed driving- some city and some higher speed limit roads.
Some quick initial impressions:
-Super quick in all modes like most have noted. And most importantly feels effortless doing it.
-Ride is extremely smooth, quiet and gives you a feeling of a sound proof studio.
-I was able to set up Homelink with 2 of my garages with zero effort and zero issues. Works great. BUT: When returning home, if you want to back into your garage, both the screens go into camera mode once the car is in reverse. This causes the homelink button to be unavailable. You have to exit the camera view and then tap on the homelink, get the appropriate garage door to open and then tap again on the camera mode if you want to continue using cameras to back in. An "always there" homelink button would be very highly desirable. (If I am overlooking something and someone else has figured out a workaround please advise!)
-I also found the reverse camera on the upper screen to be a little lagging. It is not as fluid as the lower screen. It is not jarring by any means but still noticeable. Not sure if it is specific to my car?
-I popped off the covers from all wheels as I prefer the look without them on. Thanks for the tip @hydbob, your note about doing this early made a lot of sense. Even after my 30 min drive when I popped the covers off I could see dust back there.
-The rear seat leg room is incredible. I am not sure I understand anyone making a comment otherwise. I am 5"10" and with the driver's seat very far back, I had more room than any of the luxury cars I have owned including MB S class, MB GLS, Rolls phantom coupe, wraith and Ghost, Bentley Flying spur and Bentley Bentayga, Range Rover, BMW 7 series etc). I don't think it is even CLOSE to comparing this to any of these cars for back seat leg room!!
-I love the sound that is emitted by the car while in reverse to warn pedestrians. Instead of an annoying beep or chirp, it seems to be playing a very nice musical tone which is pleasant to hear!
-I was disappointed to see that my car came with software 1.0.6 instead of the 1.1 that @Alex reported here. Maybe that is the benefit of a slightly later number DE (mine is #111 not sure if that means it was produced earlier and sat somewhere?
-One question to current owners: Can you "search" for available updates or is the OTA automatic and just shows up? In all my previous EV's there was a "check software updates" button but I can't seem to find that here.
