I'll have to check into the spare wheel type. I assumed that they would match. Plus, I like doing a 5 way rotate.
It would be quite odd to get the Lux wheels on the Lux and a HSE spare . . .

Enjoyed the adaptive cruise control in traffic last night, especially with the lane keep assist. Made it much easier to commute as it keeps the distance from the car in front and adjust speed up to the limit set. Still a bit nervous about the lane keep, but it seemed to work well in well marked lanes (bit dodgy in the construction areas.

The seat massage is a bit of a gimmick, but made a the commute more fun.

I was very dubious about these options, but they were included in the options I really wanted. So far they seem like they can be well worth it. My wife has only bee in in for 20 minutes and already love the seat massage on the passenger side (though she will be driving it mostly).

Congrats! She looks good. The only thing I’m not sure I love is CarPlay. It’s nice to have, but with how programmable the touch screen is, you can get the same functionality without having to actually use CarPlay. (Although it is nice to have messages read to you while you drive)

I will get the CarPlay sorted out soon, it is not loaded. My wife will probably use it a lot more, prefers Waze for navigation with the traffic here. Also see if the text feature works OK, I currently just use Siri, but need to figure out the volume of the text reads, etc.
Most complex vehicle we have ever owned, so lets to figure out.

BTW, seems my InCOntrol lost connectivity. Can't connect with the phone, even when in the garage (setup home wifi too).

Dealer told me today that my spare will match the Lux 10 spoke wheels on the vehicle. In other words, I won't be getting the HSE spare with the Lux wheels despite what the online builder shows. Unfortunately, they are still working on getting my actual build and delivery dates straightened out so no idea on that yet . . .

I think the online builder just has an image, but I'm glad they match the fitted wheels for the full size spare.
If you want Carplay check with your dealer as it shows as an option ($300) now. Wasn't the case when we ordered 2 months back. I have to figure out how I can get it loaded after the fact, hope the local dealer doesn't want to charge $300 + labor to load

FWIW, we were not charged $300 to have it on our 2019, which we ordered. Not sure if it's because it's the Lux trim, or because of the timing of when we ordered. We ordered just as they transitioned from 2018 to 2019 orders, and the configurator wasn't yet live. We had to figure out everything on paper. The salesman helped a lot, but it was still a chore!
