Absolutely programming could be different, I had a 2022 P300. I had intermittent low speed stalling they never figured out on that thing. Part of the ownership experience but hey you're looking real cool.

Either way, sometimes a brush on the brake pedal works, other times the car insists on pressure. Always been that way.
I have the same issue... sometimes a very light touch of the brakes and squeeze the trigger and pull into D like a charm, other times, it takes a complete stop and 3 tries to get D..

On top of all of this my manual says to avoid automatic car washes because of the pressure spray on the sensors. Kinda find it hard to believe they are that sensitive. 🙄

Much like Chief65, I also live in WNY and with the snow and salt, I think using the automatic car washes outweigh the risks.

I agree. I live in Northern Michigan. Plus, most modern car washes are much better at not scratching paint. It also helps that mine is Hakuba Silver and it doesnt show anything

I also had carwash anxiety for the first couple months. No problem entering and shifting to neutral, but going back into drive is a pain. I know which locations I no longer use because they are too flat and I can't get a roll out of the track. Several times I've let it roll away from the exit enough to shift to park then get back into drive. Makes me miss my push button transmission at times.

This is a major PITA for me as well. LOTS of anxiety in a carwash so I've been handwashing mine on warmer days. This is the best investment that you can make in your fleet! I can have the car fully cleaned in the time it takes me to get to the carwash and back. Only need the weather to cooperate.
