Let me know what you think about low speed noise maker with windows down. Is it annoying to you?

And if the tour guide knows how to disable the automatic ride height feature.

Try to drive it in as many everyday situations as you can.

And try different driving modes on those routs especially if you don’t like the mode you start with for some reason.

If you have a significant other that may drive it, you may want that person check the driver seat, height and general position.

Yup! That’s what I did. I drove it in some of my normal suburban roads. Stop light to stop light. Then took it on the freeway. Tried to get stuck in a little congestion to see how comfortable it was changing lanes and merging. Finally went on some less congested, more open roads.

Drove in Sport Mode and All Purpose.

And on that day was when I realized that my normal route was a cross country drive

Max, as per the tour guide there is no way to disable automatic ride height feature. you have to adjust manually from console.
as for the noise maker, it didn't bother me much.

‘Thanks for the feedback. What was your overall impression? Does it drive like a truck?

I did try All purpose, Conserve and Sports mode. Ride was pretty comfortable. I drove through suburb roads and then get on interstate but unfortunately interstate was pretty crowded too. but did get to see crazy acceleration and crazy brake regen.

I may offend lot of people with my comment, but it felt like driving a golf cart. especially the brake regen. Don't get me wrong, it is fun drive. i liked the acceleration, comfort and it is feature rich vehicle.

for me personally, i am still sticking with my order but there are few things/concerns

1. Sunroof don't open up
2. No car play
3. No running boards, it will be tough for my older parents to get in and out of truck. Lowest suspension setting did help with that but i guess running boards would help more.
4. while getting in/out from back seat, side bumper/plastic guard bruise against leg. it has sharp edge.
5. Braking Regen will take a lot of learning to master. especially at slower speed. i tried both standard and high.
6. Charging network. as per tour guide we don't have many DC chargers in texas. so that is bit of concern for out of city drives.
7. Automatic tonneau cover is very noisy which i found bit annoying.

Overall we loved the truck. it is great piece of technology. I am still going to hold my order and probably will end up buying.
