How's the build quality?

After hearing a couple of people talking about poor panel alignment, squeaks and rattles, wanted to ask how the build quality is on the new L460. It will be a real disappointment if a 150k RR squeaks and rattles. Can any L460 owners confirm if this true, thanks!

It's true, but that being said the electronics for the most part have been fine and the drivetrain has been basically fine in my P400. I'm up to about 3600 miles so far. I can be a little nit-picky, but the rattles are pretty obvious and from multiple places. I am working with the dealer to set up an appointment to have my list addressed.

Just not enough of them being sold and driven to get a good picture of initial build quality and reliability. That does worry me a bit.
When I got my 2015 in Jan 2015, there were enough of the L405 out there to get a pretty good idea of what you were getting and what issues to watch out for. With current constraints, you'd be getting the L460 delivered close to two years after launch, but it would be like you bought a car a few months after launch!

I took delivery of mine on Wed. (23 Carpathian Grey on black 23s) No squeaks or rattles. Only a slight panel misalignment on the back left trunk. Also the weather sealing on the bottom right of the door was slightly look but it was a quick fix. Also some paint swirls from the factory. Other than that its solid so. far.

Flawless so far, from having one of the first velars, it is a huge difference in terms of interactive display and the responsiveness. Can say for once it feels like a new truck with no issues etc.

One small minor thing is that when I click the button to lock the door via the handle it doesnt work sometimes on driver side but does for others. I feel like thats a common thing as it happened to my velar to and they will likely replace this handle too.
