I love driving my MME Premium extended range dual motor. In the 14 months I've owned it, though, it's been plagued by electrical glitches. The phone as key has been completely unreliable, the one-touch up/down window switches have worked spottily, I've found my rear hatch inexplicably open on two occasions, I've had the headlight settings change inexplicably, the door buttons often require several pushes to operate, I've been unable to connect to Car Play, etc, etc. Lately, I've been getting messages that my drive settings are unavailable, i.e., it automatically switches from Unbridled to Engage. The car spent a night at the dealer, who performed an electrical reboot, and, to be, fair, some of the issues seem to have cleared. But not all.
So I'm just wondering if others have had similar issues. Thanks.

Software glitches- not electrical. And yes there are numerous threads describing every symptom you have mentioned. Not everyone has them, 1 year and no glitches myself, but plenty - just search the forum.

Headlight settings are actually a bug in the headlight switch itself. The only fix for that will be a replacement of the switch (if the bug ever gets fixed). I have experienced this bug 3 times. I have not experienced the bug since I have taken to randomly turning the switch off and back to Auto. ?‍♂?

My issues seem software related. Phone connection drops constantly, even when using USBC. Door button sometimes takes 2-3 pushes. I've received zero PowerUp updates. Touch-screen is touchy.
