Picked up the new RT1, seems like it will be an awesome ride. Will update after some time with it.

Congrats! You have my twin minus the interior color?

What do you think of the exterior alignment of doors, fenders, Gear Guard hatches, etc?

My passenger side and tailgate are near perfect but I have an appointment to address some panel fitment issues on the drivers side.

After 3 audi's and 4 bmw's, nothing will compare to the fit and finish of those cars. I need to spend some time with it. I was not at all impressed with the "detail" the service center did. A brand new care should be presented in a pristine fashion at this price point. The people at the center were nice, Drew was awesome, but they need to better prep the cars for delivery.

I’m in Agoura Hills but will be moving back to Irvine soon. I have a lot of panel gap issues. Water in charge port after a car wash. Dirt in the PPF. Dent on the tailgate. Wind noise. Have service ticket on the 14 to address these and other issues. Also have white with OC and dark wood. Looks amazing. Coming from an Etron prestige so build quality and ride won’t match that.

Do you guys notice weird noises from the suspension at low noises or going over bumps?

I do hear a thumping noise when going over large bumps. I noticed this during my test drive earlier in the year and the representative said the suspension noise was normal.

Also forgot to mention my alignment is way off. Wants to veer to the right. And lastly(for now) the passenger seat shakes at mid to high speeds.

If you're interested in PPF, 1clearbra in Laguna Hills did excellent work on my R1T at a great price. I agree- the detail on the truck was alright, and the gear tunnel PPF was downright criminal. I paid to have it replaced and now you can't even see it.

I think they are just speeding up too much.

My first stop was a detail shop for ppf. But when I picked up in Brooklyn the lot was full and I made a comment, and they were like, you should see the hundreds of cars we have in our prep lot.

No problem. I just reccomended them again on reddit today too. I got it from someone else here on the forums so the credit is to them.
