Early on in the thread, it appears the sounds you're experiencing could be common to the Gen 4.
I can't speak of the 4, but some insight on the Gen 3:
- One sound I hear, regardless of conditions, cold or fully warmed up, is the ticking of the injectors
- Sounds (primarily clicks and whines)...

A Special Order is a customer order.
At both the factory and the dealer, customer or fleet order, the checkout process will be the same. Obviously, there were places where things went wrong for this order. Systemic failures bother me. The occasional one-off? 🤷‍♂️
The seats are bagged at the factory which produces them. Things could have been out of sequence at the Recaro factory.
The translucent bags, coupled with the few moments the car is at any one station, makes it more difficult to see and correct.
Maybe on the line, definitely during shipping...

Being a black car, the slightest imperfections will show much stronger than other colors. Difficult to say where the swirls might have occurred. I'd be speculating.
Yes. Even a minor paint correction can work miracles and often result in a stunning finish.
In your example, I'd seek out a...

More information might be available Wednesday the 13th, in the evening.
There is the possibility of targeted strikes occurring versus one mass strike.

Wup. Here you go, from page 197:

I'm not sure you can default something like that.
You can set and later retrieve via "My Mode", but typically suspension, exhaust settings and the like default back to factory upon startup. If talking display only, I've been able to set and maintain gauge and tach settings to "Sport+" or...

I've adjusted and later gone through :giggle:mine a few times.
While the indicator will light up and beep to announce it's time to shift, on the '22 , it does not act as a limiter.

I'd hesitate to do so until the root cause is determined and a fix presented.
We've seen what appears to be the same issue on at least two cars, a problem which the warranty will cover.
Making any mods, however slight, would void any support Ford could afford an Owner, now or in the future.
YMMV.
