    I wish the "Park" button had some kind of light to make it easier to identify in the dark. When I pull into my garage at home, during the daytime, it's quite dark because my eyes haven't adjusted yet, and I have to fumble to put the car into Park. Mostly I just hit the power button because it does have a light and I can find it easily. I am hoping there is no reason to avoid doing that.

    Is it just me? Has anyone figured out a solution?

    I've only had my 2021 PP LE for a few days, and this is the only modification that has occurred to me so far!

    no light with the headlights on? curious, that's how my pip works. i have to remember to hit park before shutting them off.
    otoh, you don't need to use the park button, unless you are not going to shutthe car off for some reason. otherwise, just hit power to shut everything down.

    This is in the daytime, so no headlights.

    Good to know I can just power down with impunity.

    These computers have minds of their own, and the car definitely responds to the power button by first shifting to Park and then turning off. Unless it is moving too fast at the time.
