I think you can add it. I had a manual adjustment in my XC60 and power in the current. I honestly would not miss the power tilt if I didn't have it on my 110X.
You should be very happy with that build

Great question. There were really two reasons:
1. The cost, when we built one it came in at around $96k with similar options. At that price I was pushing into RRS pricing.
2. The shiny plastic at the bottom would scare me each time I took it off-road. The matte plastic looks like it will hold up better against scratches and misc trail damage.

Makes sense - also was this a new allocation or one that was flipping to order lock? I recently submitted an order with a lock date of 12/21, and a build date 1/27/23.

It’s a bit unclear - he hasn’t given me all the details.

My general timeline:
Submitted order in August
Received email on Saturday that we got an allocation
Order Lock is Friday
Projected handover date is late March

ah - ask for the build sheet (with your order) - you will see:
  • last amendment possible
  • build date
  • delivery date
  • accepted delivery

This and the screens (driver/infotainment) were the hardest for me to decide.

In the end I went digital drivers display and 10 inch infotainment, which I don’t regret at all.

I went with the ebony headliner which I’m still unsure about, but at least I don’t have to worry about stains.
