Thanks everyone!

I'm surprised that the new PP package doesn't come with ambient lighting control. Ours comes standard. It is definitely not an efficient EV. You should drive the car with auto regen for a week and no regen (coast function) for another week for comparison. In my experience, the efficiency is better without the auto regeneration.

Oh, the auto regeneration is definitely smart and interesting. I like how it not only takes into account of what's in front of you, but will anticipate turns, speed limits, and road signs as well. However, it is giving me a little bit of car sickness since it keeps braking as it doesn't like my following distances!

Yes, the ambient lighting is just odd to me since it is all software that is missing. It seems like a giant waste to have those LED strips on the doors glow red at start up only to tell you that the side assist is activated. all other times, it just stays off?

Congrats! Looks real nice! I wish those screens were a bit larger on the center stack.

I hope they are working. I hear tons of stories on these chargers not working, extremely slow charging, etc. Probably why most manufacturers are moving to Teslas standard.
