Quirks and Features
Too many posts seem to be oriented towards how the car drives without enough thought towards inane documentation of the quirks and features.
The obvious ones are the turn signal without any detents and the lack of a fuel door release button. I'll get this thread going with some even more useless observations:

The turn signals have a habit of hyperblinking at times, and then stopping once I cancel them (or once I signal the other way because I have not managed to cancel them correctly).
When the car is very cold, the redline on the display changes to below 4000rpm, and always reverts back to normal when I am looking away from it, refusing me the pleasure of seeing the animation of the redline going up. The filler piece used to cover the hole where the heated seat controls would be can be used as an extremely small trash can for straw wrappers. If you accidentally hit the voice input button mid corner, and then vehemently swear at the ensuing request for a voice prompt, the system has the good sense to cancel the inquiry. The dead pedals shifts side to side slightly, and makes a squeaking noise akin to an irritated mouse running away from a malfunctioning washing machine.

When you pull the seat forward to access the rear seats, pushing the seat back to lock has it latch in a seriously vertical position.
Elbow opening center console is interesting... Still lost as to why I have a traction control button and a track button that both have the same function So happy that the wheel mounted volume controls are on the correct side of the steering wheel, even though that means the multifunction display controls are on the opposite side of the screen you are adjusting |

What’s wrong with the fuel door? IMO the push to open the door is far more intuitive than an inside release.

TLDR, the lock state of the fuel door is tied to the power door locks.

Traction control off button is the same as track mode except TC is off all the way. I assume they did it this way so you don't have to hold down two different buttons to fully turn off TC and be in track mode. Also yes, my elbow keeps opening the center console too. Very annoying! |

- Left button pressed once turns off only TC, and only up to 50 km/h, and the VSC will still clamp down if you slide too far/fast. - Right button pressed once puts everything in track mode (so the TC and VSC will still engage to a point, and I think I can still feel the brake LSD a bit). - Left button held down turns everything off, including the brake LSD, but leaves the ABS on. So sort of three different levels depending on how you want it.

When using CarPlay to send text messages, the "sending your message" at the end is garbled.
Also, not a fan of the door locks. I feel they should auto-lock on drive away and unlock on shut off. |

Only thing that bothers me is the seat belt chime that comes on as soon as you move.....why not at 5mph instead?
And the stupid shadow thing you get with the headlights. (premium)

What shadow? Both trim headlights should be the same except for the turning portion.
