We're doing Wolf Grey SXPT. Hoping to go on many a road trip with our expanding family!
Are the pics you posted near the beach taken in Avila Beach?
Wolf Gray SX P/T sounds amazing for family road trips. AWD right?
Wait until you experience Sport Mode and Snow Mode
I did most of my break-in with Comfort, which is great for a default drive mode.
Play around with the different drive modes and see what fits you best.
For me:
Freeway on-ramps: Sport Mode
Heavy traffic on freeway: Sport Mode (more engine braking than Eco, which is better for accelerating to speed then foot-off-pedal coasting)
Passing cars: Sport Mode
PCH: Sport Mode
Long, straight, desert highways with no one ahead of you and no need to stop anytime soon: Eco Mode unless you want to give your Telly some triple digit fun and hit Sport Mode on that one connector (46? or 41?) between the I-5 and Paso Robles

Overall: Comfort is a good catch-all mode. Telly will respond to pedal input and switch to Sport Mode for you if you floor it from any mode
Regarding my photos near the beach:
Yes.
Some of the photos I posted on this Sideshot Sunday thread were taken on "The Wall" above Avila Beach, the last clean junkie-free beach in California
I usually stop there to stretch, walk around, take photos of my Telly, obviously, on my way up and down the 101 when I visit family in NorCal or when I drive back down to Cam
