Babbuino, Thanks for pulling this in from the guys' Instagram post. Thought I posted this video here earlier, but apparently not.

The dampened release is quite right in its execution. It's not too fast, not too slow, but juuust right. It's almost like they thought this through!

Measure 10 times, cut once. Boom!

Ooo that feature looks nice.

Whenever my dad borrows my Rebel he constantly slams the tail gate, he just unlocks and lets it slam down. Glad they are building this in to prevent that.
Time to turn the tables. "Dad, do you need a time-out?"

It is nice to have it controlled like this. I know there was thought about having an automatic closing feature as well, but that's just one more thing that could go wrong, in my book. That, and it would have been yet one more expense.

Someone spent hours fine tuning that!
This looks like a more accurate depiction of launch green, compared how it looked lighter in your previous pictures.
Tough colour to capture as with most of them, it seems.

Tangent; I wonder if the rear turn signals can be reprogrammed to flash amber vs red.

With permission from the company, I'd be more than happy to get back to Normal and take several more test drives to see if I can reveal the reason for that color.

Pretty please? ???
What's this "permission" nonsense? Just show up!

Hey, I just asked them to let me come check the R1T Launch Green for my birthday (Aug 18th). No dice, said I would arrested on sight.…. Just kidding, they said they aren’t doing factory tours, even for birthdays. Dang! ?

Good point. I'm on my way!
These have to be the best photos of the color we've seen so far!
I don't want to abuse a dead horse, but I think LG is beautiful! One and done, folks! Keep that in mind! ?
