Hi Guys -
Not sure if this has been talked about but:
1) I thought I heard that the hard-steering issue would be addressed, yet a video reviewer in NYC yesterday said it was "very hard" to steer. She still loved it, but... Am I mistaken about the steering being addressed?
2) I just heard that "fall" would be the start of shipping to customers. Do we have a way of knowing roughly when we may be offered ours, based on where we are "in line"? A mean less roughly than "fall".
Thanks!
Eric

They have power steering - it is part of the self driving set up. I am not sure what the author was driving- could have been an SUV model o and/or maybe she has never ridden a bike or anything with handle bars.
She should have been tutored in a parking lot and gotten approval before going on city streets. I bet I would have the same fears with a regular car in New York traffic- pure fear.

I thought I had previously read somewhere that steering was stiff/hard until you got moving faster. The driver in this test was a smaller woman, but she made it pretty clear that steering was literally "very hard". That sheouldn't be, no matter what. I assume it was one of the 3 Sig Series they took to Manhattan.

It must have been one of the SUVs- could not be a FUV. Edit- After looking again she is definitely sitting in the blue FUV ( Marks)

The Mashable article also mentioned a hand parking break - which the Signature Series do not have. She seems to be describing driving an Alpha. It is my theory that she repurposed a review from last year's auto show with new pictures.
