Questioning if since it seems like you ordered in-store, you might also get to apply for the Menards 11% rebate match on your receipt, if you can get that to work or not. If so, this is making me consider it as a strategy.
ymmv for the expected savings on a 4.5KW 10-year $2,100 water heater/heat pump versus an electric water heater with a $50 timer

The downsides are they are not silent when running, and they are very large and typically need 12" clearance above to remove the filter, and they need a good sized room to draw heat from.

I went from a 40 gallon to an 80 gallon hybrid and my electric bill still went down.

They are entirely unsuitable if you have hard water - so you need RO or softeners or filters inline or just replace the tankless unit frequently. The water conditioning systems are all maintenance items with recurring costs, and the maintenance cycles on tankless units are annual and often more frequent with the minimum being a pain I'm the butt flush
You also would have to replumb or relocate the pipes in most older homes. Theres a lot of good reasons to not get tankless for the vast majority of people

Based on my experimentation and the electric usage charts on the app, Energy Saver mode uses the elements to maintain temp when hot water is not being used.

Also, my utility gave me a $500 rebate for a hybrid hot water heater, you may want to check with your utility. I installed myself and s still qualified for rebate.
Added bonus, I was able to mothball my basement dehumidifier (except for August) as the Rheem unit dehumidifies as well.
