Need help impressing car nut father-in-law. What do you show "guests" first?

[X-Gas]

Hey all you helpful folks!
I recently got my Mach-E (10 months order to delivery). I'll be at my in-laws for Super Bowl and want to impress my car nut, electrical engineer father-in-law and Camaro-collector uncle (both good dudes) with my new car.
I am not a car guy, more of a tech guy. He once told me about hitting my frozen snowthrower with a hammer to unstick a bendix and flywheel. I thought I was getting pranked, but hey, it worked...

What stats/specs do I say to impress them? What do I show them when they sit in it? What will really wow them (aside from the acceleration)? What is the first thing you show guests?

2021, Premium, All Wheel Drive, Extended battery, space white, light interior.

Thank you.

The interior and center screen has produced gasps from family and neighbors alike.

Show the frunk.

Show them how charging works, especially from your phone.

Take them for a drive in Unbridled.

Whatever you do decide to show them, test it out beforehand!!!

And maybe avoid PaaK if it's still relatively new

Just act like you've been having this car for years, and dont care about it?

Let them drive it. That will impress them.

Other than that.. . The 369 degree camera view is awesome.

Remote start - while your car is inside your garage with all the doors closed! Try that with an ICE.

Come on, Ghostbuster! It's not ALL bad. See below for what's most important above all else. ?

What does the extra 9 degrees show? Another dimension? The multiverse?

Have them accelerate from as close to a dead stop up the biggest hill you have nearby. That gets a smile from me whenever I do it myself.

Oh I agree! But car nuts sometimes can't see past the new tech and quirks (that any car besides theirs has of course)

Maximum torque at zero RPM...gets'm every time.

Let him drive, and at a stop/red light act like your getting a F-18 ready to leave the catapult....

Just ask them to check your engine for you. Ask them to do a check engine light check and see if they can find the motor lol

Thanks! They are excited that I am excited about a car, so they will see past off all that. ?

Yes! Great ideas. I always show the screen but then I'm at a loss what to show on the screen. Thinking driving modes, camera. And yes, I'll show them unbridled, with the animations and "sounds"
Still haven't opened the frunk yet myself!
