How hard is it to get used to the wheels?

I'm still trying to get a test drive scheduled (have to get the timing very right around Seattle), but I was at the Rivian pop-up in U Village today. Staff was great, was able to jump into the R2 and play around. Having seen an earlier post on the wheels being touchy, I spent a lot of time trying to get the feel for them. Spent about 10 minutes, but couldn't reliably skip a track without changing the volume or flip between temp and fan without changing one or the other. Didn't try to see if there was sensitivity settings in the setup, so that might be on me.

For folks who have had more time in an R2, were you about to get the wheels dialed in? (pun intended)

Also, no Gear Guard in the software yet. The people at the shop said it might come in a future software update. Feels like an obvious miss.
