The other thing I've noticed is in general a lot of attention is getting paid to the interface between the tractor and the trailer. I've been noticing a lot of semi-rigid rubber interfaces that make the gaps very small, while still allowing full range of motion.

Neat. I have to say I didn't notice that.

what amazes is me is I have seen the ECO light in ours come on when my wife had the cruise set at ~80 mph. I don't drive that fast.

My snowbird friend drives faster than I do, but I've seen the light on at least at 75 mph. It's like lean burn in the Insight: the more you load up the engine, the easier it drops out!

Observation #4:
Savannah, Georgia is a beautiful small city. Stayed there overnight.
Observation #5:
So far, I've seen 5x more Model S's and 3's on this trip than Mitsubishi Mirages.
The flat, wide roads in NC/SC/Georgia made me wish for something like Tesla's "auto pilot" (ahem, bad marketing). Or GM's Supercruise. I'd love to try it on these wide, flat stretches of interstate.
Observation #6
Related to #5, when I use cruise control, it wastes fuel. When my friend uses cruise control, it saves fuel.
