2022 Ford Maverick — delayed engagement into Drive when cold

This started as a small annoyance and I finally decided to track it down. 2022 Ford Maverick XLT Hybrid, about 54,000 miles. After sitting overnight, shifting from Park to Drive can take a second or two before the vehicle actually engages. Once warm it behaves normally. Would you start with fluid, adaptation data, mounts or something mechanical? Interested in real owner experience more than guesses.

Intermittent stuff lies if you only catch it once. Capture voltage while the 2022 Ford Maverick is actually failing — after it restarts you've lost the clue. That's the branch I'd chase this week. On “delayed engagement into drive when cold,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Post the numbers (or the code) and people can get more specific. Doing the boring step first on purpose.
