I may be stating the obvious, but you have to drive for a bit before tire pressures can be calculated by the TPMS. It’s usually about a quarter mile of driving for me before the pressure readings show up.

There is a tailgate release in the bed of the truck.

If you remove the larger panels, any shop can lift the vehicle with standard equipment without needing to use the puck/s. The user manual shows the spots where the jack can be placed after panel removal. To prevent risk of shop damaging the panel tabs, might be good idea to remove them yourself...

It’s not necessarily state by state but I have not seen any Californians complaining about delays on here. I’m in TX and had a horrible experience but there were several other Texans that got all of their stuff very quickly at the same time I was in limbo.

You have to be quick, but try rolling the volume scroll wheel (left side of steering wheel) up/down while Alexa is speaking to independently adjust the volume of the prompts. This has seemingly worked for me and I have had to readjust it back to adequate volume after every OTA update.

I’ll let you know after I have it in hand and see how well it works. If I genuinely won’t use it, I’ll send it to you for free.
