I'll try bedding the brakes, see if that makes a difference in pedal feel. So far I'm quite impressed by the ride comfort and power. So many little features to explore in the UI.
I was underwhelmed by the sound quality for the audio system, are my ears broken?

How does one bed the brakes properly? What does that even mean?
Bedding brakes is always valuable. Glad you’re reminding folks.
I’ll go a step further on your warning about stopping. One should never stop when bedding brakes. It’s a good way to warp rotors if you’re really bedding brakes but also involves speeds (<30mph) that aren’t useful for bedding brakes.
My favored way to bed brakes:
1: Do this on the Highway with zero traffic around.
2: 60-30 hard braking runs three times in a row. Not so hard that you’re engaging ABS but almost. No need to rush this but do it sequentially, minimize brake cooling.
3: Let the brakes cool. A mile or two of Highway cruising should be way more than enough.
4: 100-50 hard braking runs three times in a row. Same cadence and pedal pressure as before. You should be smelling the brakes at this point. No need to rush but do it sequentially and don’t let the brakes cool much. If you’re getting a lot of brake fade on the second run, let things cool off and then try again. If you get fade on the third run it’s fine.
5: let the brakes cool again. Might take longer cruising time than before just to be sure.
6: just to see if anything needs to be repeated, I’ll do a 100-50, stand on the pedal, ABS engaged run. 99 times out of a hundred it’s good. Once in a blue moon I’ll feel some brake fade that makes me repeat some of the above. Rare.
7: go back to normal driving.
And here is another version of bedding from a member…there are a couple of brake threads you’ll want to join to track upgrade options.

Now to drive the heck outta it!

Who’re you calling cream !!!
I thought you’d take greater exception to the panel gap accusation. Thought about criticizing the lack of shine but that’s a tough putt given the mirror like finish. She’s beautiful. Enjoy.

A proper tesla requires panel gaps. Feels like a Toyota without that!

Well, I didn’t presume that 2021 was a good champagne year so assumed it was a Chimay given men of our age don’t drink KombuchaThat’s a Chimay (Blue) Reserve Ale
The bottles fit perfectly

Mine got updated today as well. Super tight window so I assume it’s going to be a real date. Dec 26-31

I had this kombucha at a restaurant on Piedmont park in Atlanta - 7% abv and absolutely delicious!
No reason to do recon for mine yet. They delayed and now not arriving till 12/1 pickup rescheduled to 12/3
Am I correct that the delivery windows are only updated in the morning, so I’m wasting my time refreshing all day long?
Yes but does that matter?
It has to be delivered with it on, but I removed mine today. Didn't even need to heat it, just used fishing line and it sliced right through the 3m tape. Pulled right off after that and the remainder was easy to roll off with my finger. A little wax got the last little bit! Took 10 min.
