Really enjoying my 9 month wait hybrid XL: drives better than some cars I've had, radio OK for me, solid feel, fit / finish decent, power OK, some brake grabbing at low speed - once bad and MPG GREAT all for $22,500 OTD!

A few questions that I know are likely answered in 3 other places here:
1) You can not keep the truck in ECO mode correct, must set each start cycle?
2) Does COPILOT 360 only make a noise / beep on cross traffic and NOT on blind spot / side issue... don't love this.
3) Can you delete radio presets?
4) In general did folks get price protection on pre 2022 orders delivered in 2022? I just paid the delta - mainly for 360.
5) I need to check the tread; have AUTO DIM mirror installs gone OK and remained working well?
6) Any real world Mav data showing a bed cover improves MPG highway?

Thanks.

1) Yes, starts in Normal Mode and must change each time you drive.
2) Yes .... BLISS (no sound, only lit display) > suppose to be looking at outer mirror.
3) Changed or reset to your favorite stations (AM/FM/Sirius) but not deleted.
4) I paid the final sticker (which was higher than the original, so like you, yes).
5) Aftermarket add on for Auto Dim mirror or Homelink mirror.
6) Not yet. I usually keep the bed cover on.

Correct. Orange truck-figure light comes on first when car is near, then turns Red when they are right on the rear bumper OR detected coming into the lane NEXT to you.
