I've had mine for 600 miles of driving and the bobbing of the body (driver) when driving over only slightly rough roads is unnerving. I never noticed this when I test drove the same model, twice. I'm in my 70s so I know what cars can and should feel like! Any suggestions on how to reduce the body bobbing? Tires are at 39 psi cold.

Yeah, If you put your head on the headrest on a rough (wavy?) road you’ll end up with a headache from banging into the headrest over and over haha. It’s a heavy car so ford said let’s put super stiff coils on this thing. Things to look forward to: Speed bumps, everything in the trunk goes for a ride. Slowing with regen, hit a small bump and the rear tires will chirp-they used to fully release the regen and that was no fun when you’re trying to slow down lol. Turn into a ramped parking lot with regen active, lock up the back wheel lol.
