Just got mine back 1yr/10k svc....$1250. Included brake flush and fluid, cleaned and waxed calipers, cleaned & painted rotor hats, engine oil and filter, refilled tires w/ nitrogen, adjusted parking brake, checked for any codes etc...regular inspection stuff and fixed a small leak on a sensor on top of gearbox. It was detailed inside and out as well. Also got a carbon fiber pen & pencil set, AM hat and lapel pin!!!

A frequent comment is "these are handbuilt cars so they will have quirks and will not be as reliable as mass-produced cars". Based on my ownership experience this is accurate. You may expect items like a dash rattle, hatch rattle, loose window trim, fogged up tailight, defective climate control. All inexcusable on a car supposedly manufactured to modern quality control standards, IMO, but nothing critical or drivetrain-related so far. In fairness, I purchased fully aware such problems were likely to occur, and similar problems (but not as many on average) frequently occur on more mainstream cars.
Just be sure you are comfortable with frequent visits to fix problems. This for me has been a significant issue as I am several hours from the dealership.
