It's actually easier to just shut the door than precisely close the door up to the first click, but not the second fully shut click so you can watch the soft close feature actually do what it is supposed to do. Still a cool thing but probably not worth paying for.

As mentioned before, my soft close mechanism hardly ever engages because the doors already close completely right away. I remember some previous complaints how hard it was to close the doors but I never experienced that. It's actually harder NOT to close them and trigger the soft-close. I'm wondering if this fact is also part of the feature itself.

Just an idea though..

Maybe but it’s a confusing symbol, why have one at all? It’s the first car I’ve seen with a symbol by the fob notch at all.

For those who haven't seen it, somebody designed a nice 3D printed cellphone holder that is engineered to slide right into that slot. It's shown in a thread about phone holders somewhere in this forum section.

I looked. Could not find it yet. Any chance you could post a picture? Or a link?
