First thoughts are it is a little loud at speed, has a few nvh issues, and navigating the touchscreen is a pain when driving, but I’m sure I could adapt to it. Seats are comfortable. Interior is pleasant. View out the front is Great, view out the back is dismal. Instantaneous Speed is fun but strangely boring.
We’ll see how we get along for the rest of the week.

Pro tip - somewhere on the control panel, set it so when the turn signal is on it shows the pillar camera on that side to check your blind spot. Use voice commands by pushing once on the right scroll wheel (wipers off, set temp to, defrost on, etc.) so you don’t have to use the touch screen as much. The auto wipers sometimes get carried away and I have to tell them to stop.
Have a fun trip!
