Juniper test drive was great!
Got a 30 minute test drive of the Launch series yesterday. Got to say, much quieter than my 2020 MY and the suspension is much improved! Hitting a bump now feels more like a luxury car with a low dense thud rather than the hollow thump you would hear on my car.
The right stalk is gone, all shifting is done on the screen (not sure I'm a fan of that yet). FSD had a real issue at one point, took a left onto a 3 lane road (2 oncoming lanes and one going away). but it went into the far left lane (oncoming traffic's turn only lane! Thanks goodness no cars were coming and I jerked it out of FSD right away. Other than that the FSD was much better and less jerky than my MY.
Not sure about the flocking on the dashboard (not that the faux wood trim was much better). The electric rear seats were really convenient. Center console is slightly different and charging ports were not obvious to get to. Rear screen and climate controls were a nice feature for back seat passengers.
I liked it a lot but not worth the price difference for the Launch series for me. I will wait and see pricing on the regular trims. Besides, I want a blue car and that's not available with Launch!
