I can respect you have some hours in flying real aircraft, but you did mention that you flew a C182. A far cry from a single engine GA turboprop with a PT6. We had Jason Miller (co-owner of Foreflight) consult with us during development of the TBM (he owns the real one), and we received a lot of feedback from him on every aspect of the flight model.
Here's a video of him taking his one on his first flight.
Also, as a result of this being only a 6 seater turboprop GA, taking off with too much pitch will result in excessive P-Factor. Pitching up gently, reduces it. This has been demonstrated on numerous occasions.
I can understand that maybe you (both) have some frustration in how it handles on the ground, but we can't change it if our real world TBM pilot tells us it's right.
I have also watched several streamers flying this aircraft, and I can safely say, at least 3 of the 5 that I have watched have nailed the taxiing, takeoffs and landings when it comes to ground handling.
One in particular is Grau Adler. (Josh Gibbs and Cirrusmax are the other 2)
Here's a time stamped video of Grau Adler landing the TBM.

My intention is not to turn this into a debate about ground handling. It's simply to re-iterate that, although you have many flying hours under your belt, we had a TBM pilot, who bought one for himself, to help us with anything and everything TBM related.
Hopefully you can understand our position.
