- ✓Check the operation of the flush-fitting door handles, ensuring they present and retract smoothly.
- ✓Test the advanced driver assistance systems, particularly the LiDAR-based safety features (if equipped).
- ✓Verify the car can achieve its maximum rapid charging rate, as the 400V architecture needs to perform flawlessly.
- ✓Inspect the massive 21- or 22-inch alloy wheels for curbing; the low-profile EV tyres are very expensive to replace.
- ✓Listen for any wind whistle around the unique front aero-wing embedded in the bonnet.
- ✓Ensure the Android Automotive system is running the latest software version for optimal performance.
