I feel misled by Lamborghini here. Monroneys say TEB and Forged when it's not. In my 580 it was Forged as that's what I paid for. All you get in an EVO is a bunch of cheap Toyota engine bay looking plastic. Wonder what their excuse is for this? I figured they would have had the extra money to actually do Forged since they saved so much on knobs.

That is a bit more than being misled and more akin to fraud. I would ask your SA to get the CF for the engine bay or refund the money. My 580-2 had a CF engine bay but both of the EVOs just had/have the black plastic.
Your Monroney will say the same does it? Wonder if they took that part out in 2022 - the Forged part in TEB for 6k. What does your 2021 say?

I pretty much chalked it up to something like a "typo" as you might say. Mixed in with the usual legal jargon for errors and omissions buried somewhere. Maybe I can at least get one of those new "cool" phone holders from them for pain and suffering.

Toilet paper in the engine bay. In early 2020 when the panic of the virus ensued. We bought several of those big packages of toilet paper at Costco. As toilet paper turned into quite the ordeal making headlines with the panic buying of it and me being the jokester that I am at home. I was telling everyone I was concerned about our toilet paper "stash" getting ripped off. So I staged and took this pic as a joke for a great place to stash toilet paper and sent it to my buddies. I also staged and took this one posting that I had just come back from a Costco run. They were like no way.

I didn’t spec cruise control because I know I will never use it. Also I specced the style pack in gloss because I believe all Matte pieces exterior wise will be gloss black, including the left and right rear fins on the bumper.
I actually added cruise control (after the fact) to my 580 because it didn't come with it. I can see not using it but to me looking at those blank buttons on that side threw off the balance of the steering wheel like something was missing (which it was) and it drove me nuts. We all have our different OCDs when it comes to cars.

I have to laugh at the Smartphone & Connected Services...........I guess you have no real choice and need to spec it but I haven’t figured out what it’s connected to. They haven’t been able to fix my Unica App or Infotainment system with the alleged “over the air” capability.
At $3,600 it's connected to their bank account.

^^ All for profit. It was Mercedes I believe or someone else that started the ambient light craze. Other manufacturers jumped on board because of this newly found profit center. Then came the sports car world. Lamborghini isn't the only one. I had the "light design" package in my 3 RS and it was terrible as well.

Never forget, besides Lamborghini making a desirable car their customers want. Their number one objective as a company (as are most) is to separate you from as much of your cash as possible. Should bagel holders in cars ever become en vogue you'll eventually see them in a Lamborghini along with a nice upcharge.

This is why I avoid Alcantara as it'll look like this if you have sweaty palms and wring the steering wheel too much. I didn't have this problem in my GT4 but made sure to wash my hands before driving

That pic looks like something else happened to that wheel other then hand contact. The "singed" look is on the entire wheel evenly. Is that your car? Looks like it was over scrubbed or too much of some kind of caustic cleaner applied.
