By put together I meant the initial building it out of the box. 🙂. Once in the vehicle it just slides out in 2 seconds. But yes, does take up a little space.
I bought this...the hot plate area extends out well past the rear of the vehicle. Takes maybe 30 minutes to put together and is really solid.

I wonder if the ones that made it to the service/delivery center had the protective white plastic on the front and that's how it was missed until it got to its destination? Still doesn't explain how it left the factory however.
What has bogged up service centers has been the Gen 1 suspension issues, half-shafts and panel adjustment appointments, along with expected first Gen gremlins. R2 is so simplified drivetrain wise that probably 75% of the problems Gen 1s had has now been eliminated in R2. AI robots now review...
That part of the seat will get softer after a few months, I bet. I had the same issue with R1 seats and it went away. I don't notice it anymore. I'm 6'2" for reference.
