It's just 2-3nm for the retaining cap. Friend of mine checked the torque on the same bike I got. He said the cranks where only tightened to 6nm. It was like the same with my bike.
Haha, yeah I had to drive back from the bike park. Was not fun. You can see a pic of my foot in the other thread we all use here:

My bike comes with alu caps, even with retightening the hex bolts It's been an issue with shimano ebikes. Still coming off, overall concensus from what I've read is get an alu cap if you have plastic caps. Loctite the two hex bolts and the threaded alu cap.
Yup, according to the manuals we...
Nahh the hex bolts tighten the crank onto the spline, this prevents the crank arm from wearing out the splines on the crank arm and shafts. The caps keep the arm from sliding off. Note everyone who mentions the crank falling off mentions the cap went first. That thread turns into a pissing...
About my crank arm just falling off mid jump. Get some loctite on your crank arm locking cap. Talked to commencal today and apparently they don't have any extra crank arms or caps, or any small parts really.

Got my call today. West Virginia. Ordered sept 4th, XL. Friend ordered same bike in medium. He got a call a bit before me, I ordered and hour after him.
Called today to find out where I am in the queue. They didn't give me a number but told me it should ship next week or so. I'm in the united states. And my order was placed on September 4th.
I gotcha, I rode with my wife on our non ebikes. She always struggled to keep up. I would wait for her and let her get her breath back. And just be chill. Hopefully you can ask her to wait for you while you catch up. Just try to be clear and communicate well. If your ego can't handle it, I guess...
