First day with Frozen Portimao Blue … I am on information overload

My Frozen PB arrived today after work.
Car looks amazing and feels amazing when i took it to get gas and out for dinner. Car feels solid.
There are so many buttons, dials, configurations i am on sensory overload.
How long does this take to get like its second nature?
There are some extremely cool features, its impressive.
I will upload more photos tomorrow.
So far, so great!

Huge congrats! I don't have mine yet so I can't help you, but I have considered this point as well. Many reviews criticize the many layers of programming, but once you get used to it, that must be a great thing to have.

Beautiful car, enjoy it!

Congrats! Glad you finally got it. Now we need photos of it next to all your other cars.

It won't take too long to get used to everything. You now have more excuses to get out and go for a drive.

Road trips!

I'm getting my break-in service today, at a dealer 250 miles from my house. To be fair, the closest dealer is 140 miles away from home, but this got me there quicker.

This is my first frozen painted car
I was surprised with actually seeing flakes in the paint
I imagined it would not have them but i guess thats what gives it different hues in different lighting.

Can anyone give advice as to connecting the app to the car for the digital connection?
I went to the wallet as instructed and the phone is telling me there is no internet connection so i cannot proceed past this point.
I have downloaded the app, and i see there is a vehicle. It does not give me any info on the car as its not connected.
Im sure its my error somehow, i am not doing something to prevent the interface

You’ll get used to everything quickly!

Except for me, I had to disable the hand gesture feature cause it kept interrupting my music or podcasts thinking I was telling it to do something

What a beautiful car! Congratulations!!
I also had that same problem, but unforch i can't remember how i worked through it.
I've had mine since end of Sept and it is still very overwhelming. Mine is not a daily driver, but if it were, i'd probably be more comfortable with everything. I just drove it the other day and told it where i needed to go, but i could not figure out how to see the steps of the route. I also don't know when i ask my car to take me somewhere if it is using the car's navigation system or if it is using the android auto thru my smartphone. At least i know how to get my music playing!

Same paint as my daily be prepared for every persons you see asking if it's a wrap and the bold individuals that just come up and start touching the paint. DO THEY NOT KNOW THE CHALLENGE OF GETS SKIN OIL OF MATTE!

Otherwise it's really not as bad as the mass majority says it is to maintain. Just ceramic coat coat it so you're not dealing with water spots every time it rains.

Also Dr. Beasleys is you're one stop shop for cleaning products
