Just celebrated a year with our wonderful R1S. Based off our experience, a family member was ordering a new R1S and they could not order the cheapest silver color (they were told they were "pausing production on it"). Then they wanted the blue...nope. Finally went with the green, but I am...

Took a day long trip today and every time I stopped to charge, as my charge approached my charging target, it would get to about 8 minutes left and raise the target by a couple minutes. This would happen over and over so my 15 minute charge was turned into a 45 minute charge. The first time, it...

Okay, I might have exaggerated a bit, but Seattle to Spokane is 300 miles and we end up heading North from Spokane to Deer Park a bit...so there's another chunk. Some folks start in Port Angeles which adds another 100 miles. It's conceivable that there are times when we have to start even in...

I pick up my R1S next week and am in a little bit of panic mode. Let me explain... A big reason for us getting a new vehicle is that my wife and I have been and hope to continue to be doing a lot of driving all over the state in the coming years for an organization we are involved in (OES if...
