Exemple: 1) Forgive my ignorance, but a fun fact I just learned was that there was a keyhole hidden under the exterior door handle. Handy.

2) Heading to an astronomy gathering to view some objects without light pollution... how do you let the 991.2 run (to keep the family warm) without having the car all lit up like the Titanic?

Hard tap of the brake pedal gives you auto brake hold. That one surprised me on accident.

sliding your hand across the bumper opens the trunk. Different than 991.2 and confuses some people

On a downhill road pull on the 2 paddles at the same time and the rev counter drops to 800 revs.

another method: in drive, pdk in 8, quickly release the accelerator pedal and pull the "up" paddle

​​​​​​​the gear is memorized and if new acceleration then traction resumes in the same gear 8

yes, that just puts the transmission in nuetral. going down a grade (every morning to the office) i just put in manual and engine brake.

adjusting the passenger seat with the drive seat controls us really useful if you have to pick up kids. just adjust the seat at a stop light on the way.

If you have the camera option on front bumper it’ll display on the screen when you approach a curb or something tall that will hit the bumper on its own. I really appreciate that when pulling into parking spots

The three dots ("...") on the drive mode settings is how you save the individual mode. It just doesn't save it by default.

The turn signals flash on and off if you raise or press down on the stalk. There is no dipstick for the fluid.
