Update 5 July 2023

Since taking delivery it's been in-town driving with one short trip north of Grand Rapids to a family get together off Ten-Mile Road and occasionally hauling a load of stuff to be donated.

Anyway, here are my latest notes:

The car seems to wobble a bit on the grooved pavements favored on some highways but otherwise it handled well.

The Adaptive Cruise Control is very nice and works as promised: slowing the vehicle down before it gets too close to a slower car and speeding up again to the setting when I turned into the passing lane.

Plenty of storage in the back, especially with the seats down although the seats don't fold fully flat. Oh, and the front (leading) edge of the privacy screen is quite sharp when removing or replacing the screen. 

The charging cables and adapters that came with the car have not been used yet but one problem has been noted: the connector to the outlet which then plugs into the charging box is quite short so you will need to mount the box close to the outlet. 

Anyway, we're only down to a shade over 50% so I haven't needed charging yet.

One final note: the VW app for the phone (myVW) is handy for providing charging information, for letting you know if the doors are unlocked, various accessory plans along with a variety of other tidbits of data relevant to the status of the car such as it's location. I mean, it's especially nice to always know where the car is. . .
