Pickup is completed, somewhat bittersweet after such an extended wait.
Could not find any exterior issues with the car. Charge port door not perfect, but none of the ones there were perfect.... some minor issues with how window seals appeared to fit (I pushed them back in and they seemed to fit okay after that).
Delivery was super quick.... I literally could have driven off after just 15 minutes since I was a cash buyer with no trade in. The guy who did the delivery is part of the solar division and didn't know a whole lot about the product. They were quite nice about letting me look it over carefully but I felt a bit silly doing it since it was in good condition.
Car has a few issues, which is always a disappointment to me on purchase of a brand new vehicle, you would think they would some of this prior to delivery.
- Left turn signal doesn't work right, never resets after completing a turn. A search shows this is a known issue that has been reported numerous times in another forum. Requires replacement of steering control module. Yeah... my brand new car needs service.
- A little floaty on the highway, need to check tire pressures.
- much more pronounced wind noise than what I experienced on the RWD one I rented.
- There is a slight rattle coming from the front cockpit area, not sure what is causing it. Only had the car for an hour.
Acceleration is very good, on par with the BMW this will replace. Handling is good but I think that the RWD is a bit better from a pure "sports" feeling.
That's all for now.
