Bought mine August 5th. Lurked on this site for a while after deciding on the Palisade until the 2021's showed up and I could find an acceptable deal. Traded in a 2013 Nissan Pathfinder Platinum AWD. Looked at this exact car at Greenway Hyundai, Orlando, FL on August 3rd. They wanted a $5000 "market adjustment" plus $4000 in dealer add-ons and offered a lousy trade-in. I walked, quickly. The next day the duplicate car showed up on Autotrader at Jenkins Hyundai, Leesburg, FL - which is my closest Hyundai dealer anyway. They were much more accommodating - without a big hassle they dropped their $3000 "market adjustment" completely, gave me the $500 military discount and a decent trade-in offer and I brought it home. Going back Thursday for Llumar paint protection film (clear bra) application, 1/3 hood and fenders, full front end, side mirrors, windshield pillars and roof between windshield and sunroof. Did this on my Pathfinder in 2013 and front-end paint looked brand-new 7 1/2 years later when I traded it in.
Interesting getting used to all the tech and safety features. I will probably be fooling around with them for a while. Couldn't get Android Auto to connect - message about "connection not possible." Googled it and found that on my phone in Android Auto Settings "connect to new device" was turned on. That has to be turned off to work - only turned on to connect to a new device (the device being the car) the first time. I had already connected via bluetooth to pair the phone so the car and phone were already connected so it was refusing a new connection, even though it was USB not bluetooth. Not very intuitive, but thanks to Google I figured it out.
Anyway, so far so good for the first 100 miles. Trying to stay off the road to avoid any rock chips until I get my paint protection film installedI
 
Welcome to the forum
Yes there are a few quarks that get you, till you figure them out.
A lot going on in the Palisade so figuring them out will take a while

Nice! Congratulations on your purchase. I did the same thing, drove to Wesley Chapel and bought a limited white Pali for a much better price! Welcome!!
