Looking to buy soon & seeking advice as to what to look for during a test drive

Question

Looking to buy a new '26 limited towards the end of September and was seeking the advice of others as to what to look for and check during the test drive.

While I know that everything I am going to list is covered by the warranty, I was trying to avoid having to go back to the dealer shortly after purchase for something I can determine in advance.

  • Is there a battery condition I can check from within the menu system and what should I look for?
  • How to know if the tire foam/alignment is a problem - should I bring the vehicle up to some speed?
  • Is there anything that can be checked at this point to know if the ICCU is functioning properly?
  • Are there any adapters for non-NAC chargers that I should insist they include?
  • Anything that should be checked with the HUD, SVM, or driving assist modes?
  • Anything else?

TIA!
