I picked up my new white luxury EHS last week, and for now i'm still amazed how much car it offers for it's money.
It's had all updates prior to delivery, and most known issues seem to have been ironed out. Speed signs are now read correctly, infotainment is speedier than it was at the test drive, EV mode seems to behave as expected ( if i remember to shut off climate control ) unless the 12v batt is not fully charged which seems to take place AFTER the HV batt charge, so leave it in. i have not had any funny behaviour from the tailgate either. also charging begins as soon as the cable is inserted. Android auto is flawless, no lagging/stopping etc.
the gear shift lag at 80km is still there, but i think it's the only there is, and it can be helped if not pushing hard, the change will take place around 65km, and not nearly as noticeable.
The ICE kicks in much more controlled and does not over rev as much as it did before.
My only small niggles is that i think the EV motor has quite a loud whine when accelerating or decelerating compared to other EV's ? actually i love the sound but it's loud outside the car.
The other thing is that i get some vibration/shaking in the whole car from about 100-120km/h, especially when ICE is on. first i thought it was poor balancing of the wheels, but it's not in the steering wheel , it's the whole car ;-( , anyone else experienced this ?
otherwise than this i'm super happy and don't regret i went for it
