Checking in now after 16,000 miles, roughly 4,500 EV and 11,500 ICE.

I have experimented with fuel a little, I see no benefit with premium or ethanol. Actually a loss of mpg above 2gal e85 per tank of 87 octane. One side note here is that the engine will not hold low speed operation in 85+ degree weather on 87 octane, the timing advance retards to less than 2° btdc.

The grille is also not oversized when temps get over 85F, partial block had to be removed. Below 40F the lower opening can be completely blocked.

Great car, i highly recommend it!
