So.... did you get it? Where are the pics?

I did! I haven't been able to get time to take pictures that do justice, but...

Initial impressions:

• It's so much effing fun to drive
• Never having had 1PD in the past, it took me all of ten minutes to feel very comfortable with it, and my 1PD comes to a very smooth stop--no jerking like many others have reported. I'm an "Unbridled and 1PD" convert.
• PaaK has worked fine, and it has worked after some "no, I'm really here" button presses, but it has not yet NOT worked.
• Even though it's a late build, no second key, no BlueCruise enabled, unlike you GT snobs.
• It's definitely smaller than my RDX, but the cabin is still comfortable EXCEPT as a "larger individual," the width of my hips (and the legs attached to them) causes the phone tray area to cut into my calf muscle. I have to mentally remember to purposely set my right leg upright so this doesn't happen.
• The reverse camera is a little jittery. Not bad, but enough to notice it. However, overall, I like the camera coverage better than the RDX.
• Lastly, I have yet to see the pony lights, but my seven year old saw them and had to tell me about it very excitedly.
• No issues at all plugging into my new ChargePoint Home Flex. I heard the fan come on low at first and then louder, but once the kitchen/garage door was closed, it was barely audible.
• There's a little bit of screen whine on occasion, but the electric motor whine drowns it out. ? That said, I don't mind the electric motor whine. It almost sounds like I'm on the Metro.
• Like everyone else, wireless charging fails to hold itself for more than a minute or two with my iPhone 12 Pro. (Yes, even just sitting in park...not moving...not sliding.)
• Wireless CarPlay has been an absolute champ and is one of the reasons I wouldn't choose a Tesla. That said, I've not been displeased with the Ford infotainment either. I'm just an Apple guy.
• The ride is bouncier than my Acura RDX, even in Sport+ mode, but I don't find it jarring or uncomfortably bouncy. I'm not being thrown around inside the car...you just feel the road and every minute imperfection as well. (And yes, I checked first thing for the suspension chocks...the salesperson wondered what the hell I was doing.)
• No wind noise from the glass roof, and it aligns very nicely with the top of the car. The lips of the windshield and the roof are flush as far as height goes. Looks like they got that one under control on the newer builds.
• I can't tell if they bolstered the charge port door or not, but I haven't been able to get my 3D printed shim in there, and I really have to PRESS the charge port door hard to get it to move back toward the car. (Whereas doing the same with the Acura's fuel tank door was a one-finger affair.)

I guess the only thing I need to scour the forums and the owner's guide for at this point is to see if there's a way to dim the overhead blue lights by the map lights. They seem REALLY bright when driving at night.

I'm definitely pleased.

That's fantastic! I'm happy for you. Can't wait to see you around town. I still have no idea the reasoning behind discontinuing that color. It's such a great color that looks very unique in many different lighting situations

Glad you're enjoying it and happy to see you snagged one of the last ones built in the best color. ?
