Kneel mode now less picky about pitch/roll?

The portion of my driveway where I normally park my truck has been sloped enough that the truck would not kneel when parking. I'm not sure what the roll percentage / angle is, but it was steep enough to prevent kneeling. After installing .47, however, I noticed that the truck will now kneel when I park in that part of my driveway. Nice! Has anyone else noticed this change?

I am seeing this as well I believe. It does take quite a while to kneel when on a slope but it seems to work.

I seem to be having the opposite problem. Before .47 update kneel worked fine, now it does not want to kneel in the driveway, usually it will but long after I get out.

Mine seems like it takes a good 15-20 seconds to knell in a flat garage. Wife and I are both tired of sitting there waiting on it.

The kneeling speed seems to be about the same to me - maybe 8-10 seconds - though I haven't timed it.

I have not used kneel mode since putting running boards on my R1S.

Even with kneel mode on getting in and out was not optimal, plus my wife always opened the door before kneel mode completed. ?

My n+1 is that kneel mode in Gen2 as a whole is way faster than Gen1. I turned it off in my Gen1 because it was so slow, in my Gen2 it's done kneeling by the time I reach to open the door. And yes, it's less picky about slopes - it now works in my driveway, too.
