I run the OEM tires year round set at 38 with no problems.
I have driven suvs and vans for over 10 years now so its going to take some time to get used to being much closer to the road lol. I do feel that for bigger folks as myself, the driver door can be uncomfortable. The lower arm rest does no good what so ever because your sitting higher in the seat and the upper window area is just a hair to high and makes it uncomfortable to be there for very long. Now that last part is probably due to my stroke shoulder still trying to regain its mobility and may pass with time

You should be able to adjust the height of the driver's seat, with the lever on the left side. If you think it's way too high it's probably at the top of the adjustment from the previous owner. There was a TSB for grabby brakes, but there is also a trick you can do yourself: a manual pedal reset. Turn off the traction control, and with the car stopped, press the brake pedal hard for 30 seconds. Then turn the TC back on and the brakes should be 'softer' for at least a few trips. Wait until someone verifies my memory of the procedure, though, as I haven't had to do it lately.
Enjoy and have fun! It looks like we have another candidate for that "EV grin" and excessive tire wear!

There is an intersection near me that in my van I will turn right at, maybe 10 mph tops, In my leaf I can take it at 30mph and it feels like I barely turned at all lol. I love how this thing sticks to the road!!

Mine has about 87%. Be thankful we don't have the 'Canary pack' in our cars, which would have us at about 70% capacity left - or less.
