I've decided I like the rotary a lot, because I can just spin to Park or spin to Drive, the two most common use cases. It is very much like just throwing it into Park, although into Drive is better because I don't have to worry about passing Drive into Low.

and it doesn't take up a stupidly large amount of space in the console area, either, seemingly getting in my way all the damn time when trying to reach over to the passenger seat for something.

but this is a personal thing.
I agree, the rotary shifter has really grown on me and I prefer it at this point.

Ha-ha! It’s totally a personal preference, but as I said before, I prefer a dual gate shifter for an automatic. You can choose whether you’re popping up or down one gear only or you can set it free and shift all the way from first to neutral if you want (and bang the engine off the rev limiter). ??‍♂?

Per online manual
Low (L)
You can activate this position at any vehicle speed which provides an increased level of deceleration when you lift off the accelerator pedal. You can use low (L) at all times, if desired, but improving drivability while descending grades is the intent. Entering low (L) does not take any actions if one pedal drive is active

“L” on the shifter also does not have any effect on deceleration if you are driving in Unbridled mode since Unbridled mode already offers the most aggressive regeneration profile. ?‍♂?
