Yeah, they should have never changed from "relentless pursuit of perfection" to "experience amazing". Once they did that change in slogan, they've dropped the ball on a few things.

Here's how mine held up since May and 2600 miles. We had maybe 10-12 90+ degree days and averaged 80s for most of the summer. I do park in a garage.

Question for those with bumper separation and those without... While messing around under my car after hitting one of those big heavy duty Home Depot buckets with the right front of my car at highway speed, I noticed there are 5 tabs on the bottom bumper that attach to the vehicle, On the attached pictures you'll see I noticed where the tabs make a sharp bend and there's paint that has come off the tabs right at the bend, on all 5 tabs. Can you guys check and see if yours look the same? It's a little weird, like that area is constantly flexing while driving. Other than the bucket, I haven't hit anything that would cause this. I don't have separation but wonder if these tabs are a weakness and contributing factor to it.
