Very tolerable though IMHO for all the benefits. Hopefully the rumored September software update, whenever it comes, will address this issue.
Yeah, I had suspicions it was somewhat normal. It is strange though that it shifts perfectly sometimes and not others.

I asked my dealer about the Sept. update and he didn't know anything about it. Hopefully they will get the memo and hopefully the software update fixes some of these glitches.

Either way, fantastic car. I just finished my 1200 mile service and am having loads of fun.
