Just got back from a week traveling through the Smokey Mountain National Park and wanted to give my impression on how Telly performed. Overall I was very pleased with the handling and power. There were three of us who shared the driving and we all agreed that the vehicle handled the sharp uphill and downhill turns with ease. On the more difficult roads we found that the sport mode worked best by keeping the RPMs up and reducing the number of shifts but 90% of the time we just left it in Smart mode. Even though most of the roads were covered with wet fall leaves we never felt the vehicle loose traction.
The only place I felt the Telly was under powered was going up a very steep road in Amicalola State Park. If I was pulling a trailer it probably would have made it up the hill, but I may have had to go manual and drop it into 1st or 2nd gear.
Loved the Adaptive Cruise Control and Lane Assist on those long stretches of highway. I did find the Adaptive Cruise Control a game changer in heavy rain. Although at times I could barely see the car in front of me, the Cruise Control kept me at a safe distance.
