What to Ask For (Paper & Pixels)

  • Service records: Completed maintenance and any software updates.
  • Warranty term: Confirm dates and covered components; keep a digital copy.

Smart 20‑Minute On‑Road Check

  1. Low‑speed loop: Listen for creaks over speed bumps; test quick left‑right inputs.
  2. Highway run: Check tracking at 70–75 mph; note wind/tire noise balance and lane‑assist smoothness.
  3. Parking drill: Use 360°/top‑down views; verify camera clarity and guideline accuracy at dusk.
