Drifting
Just found a new one last night on way home from work (at least new to me, and I haven't seen on list yet).
If you have the On-Star with traffic overlay and it announces an accident ahead. Within about 2 miles from the accident a yellow icon pops up on the nav screen at the approximate location of the accident. If you touch select the icon a pop-up screen appears and gives specific information, such as approximate distance ahead with a blue arrow pointing to the left or right lane to avoid the blocked lane. I observed this twice last night on a really CRAPPY long bumper-to-bumper drive home on interstate I-94. It was pretty accurate.

If you put the car in reverse and then into drive on a 2016, the front cameras will engage without pushing any buttons

If you turn it to Acc. before you exit the car, it won't lock (at least long enough to get gas and the phone number of the hot attendant inside the station).

The doors will not lock after the lights time out unless you open a door and re-start the auto lock process. This could explain how some have been able to open a door they thought/assumed was locked (but in reality never was), even though there was no fob near the car.

Turning off the infotainment system
One press of the power button mutes the infotainment system. Press and hold the power button to turn the system off.

Turn signals have lane change feature. Bump turn signal up or down, enough to light signal but not enough to latch in place, and the signal will blink 3 times and go off. Just found this out the other day, then found it in the manual, pg. 6-5
