Hi all, new '23 Wildtrak only recently picked up, have only put about 350 miles on it so far and I've noticed the past couple of mornings after a cold start when going from park to reverse...it doesn't do any of the lurching that I've seen reported on around here, but it almost feels like the rear end is "squatting" down. Shifts smoothly into drive and otherwise drives fine.

After driving for a bit and getting warmed up, I can no longer replicate it. Just cold transmission behavior, or something else?

Higher idle when cold engages the torque converter more, so reverse is pulling harder against the brakes causing the squat. Totally normal
