Just tried it yesterday arriving in the mountains

One parking spot left quite right side of the road. Gave it a try.

Just pushed the the red P on the display. It does a wonderful job. And fast. I must admit I couldn't have done it better and faster myself.

I am usually parked at parking lots and the takes more time and I can do it better my self.

Drives great, still lots to discover

Are those the 22" wheels? The US configurator doesn't show the option of the 22"s for the 45e.

Did you by any chance selected a towing hook? In my country 22" and towing hook was not possible on 45e due to heavy load on the rear tires. You can have the towing hook on 21" or 22" without towing hook. This limitation was not on any other engine type, just 45e.

No, towing hook was not possible from factory with 22" rims.

We did the Grossglockner Alpine Road today. Driving in sport when going uphill and with ias the car handled very well. When going downhill I put it in adaptive and that recharged the battery from 45% almost completely.

Too bad they didn't sell Glocks at the top

Did some alpine driving too. Mont Blanc in the back.

The electric torque is amazing. Even the steep parts went well at 10 - 15 km/h. Hill descent control worked too.

Driven the Brenner Pass many times - I miss those roads!

Went to Salzburg today. The car switched automatically to edrive (full electric) when entering the Salzburg area.

It was 30 degrees and it's a very nice feature to cool the car down remote with the app

I had to tick a few options to authorize confidential data sharing through idrive. After that remote 3D worked.

One thing I noticed in Austra is that life is here pretty normal in Covid times. No Covid hysteria and 1001 stupid and irrational rules that change every 2 days. No shitload of experts in the media giving their opinion, no daily threats about lockdowns, no repression, no curfew, no general mouthmask obligation, pubs and restaurants are working normal no limitation on people, ...
Just common sense and the basic rules. Keeping distance, mouthmask in busy places and stores, desinfection poles everywhere, ...
It was a relief to have a relaxing holiday here. It will be depressing to go back to surreal and retarded Belgium. I think it must feel like going back to prison

Remote 3D view is working again. So it was clearly a legal problem in Austria where this feature is not allowed

Yes, Google street view is also not possible for Austria, may be for the same reasons.
