I came in about noon and I’m glad I did. The crowd died down a bit by that time. Nice event, but the car is looking a bit rough and they are only a quarter way through the tour.
The only thing that made me mad is that they wouldn’t unlock the driver’s seat to adjust it. How can a tall guy like me make sure he fits? It wasn’t like there was a line of people by that time.

Got there a bit before 5. Not too crowded, was able to sit in the car almost immediately. I'm 5'6 and couldn't adjust the seat at all as others have said. That put a little bit of a damper on the experience. But it was worth my time. This car is impressive

I was there when it was 11am. They might of had 100 people there when the car was shown. It wasn't that crowded. 1) I had no trouble sitting inside the car. There seemed to be enough room. 2) Nice looking car but I don't like the black body side molding. If I order the car I will order the optional body side molding that matches the color of the car. 3) Hawk Chevy is charging $10,000 over sticker if you're in the first allotment. I think anybody who pays $10,000 over sticker should have there head examined. 4) Hawk Chevy will charge you sticker price if you're in the second allotment. The sales manager said if you're in the second allotment you probably won't get the car until June 2020. The sales people were pushing the customers to order the car. Doesn't make any sense to me to order a car and you won't get it for 7 months. If this car is in such demand why not start making them as soon as possible.

At 0:50... That driver's door needs a little WD40. Looks good!

I'm starting to think that based on the wear and tear on the car that maybe the driver's seat was is broken. I could understand if there were a line of people, but the second time I sat in it there was literally nobody around and they still said they couldn't "unlock" it even thought the passengers seat was adjustable.
I agree that the power controls on the driver seat were broken. The passenger seat and the steering wheel still had the power adjusters working. The power seat adjusters were the first thing I went for when I got into the car and I am sure that most of the other 20000 people that sat in the car have done the same thing. I wonder if they will swap out the car and the engineers will take a look at all the broken and wear items on the interior. It is a good test for durability to have it exposed to that many people and then see where the faults are.
