I would like to thank everyone for all the advice! The next time we are considering a road trip (like to Yosemite), I will feel much better about it! As far as the trip to Washington: we ended up flying. I was hoping my R1S would be ready from the SC in time to go, but unfortunately it...

I greatly appreciate all the tips and advice! I'm convinced to give it a shot as long as I get my R1 back from the SC by Tuesday afternoon. They are installing a new connector housing, but have to drop the battery pack to complete the repairs. They hope to have it done by Monday afternoon...

I have a 2025 R1S standard pack (258 miles of range) with 296 miles on it that's currently at the SC for a cracked battery connector house (or something). It's supposed to be ready today. I'm taking a trip next week with my 10 year old autistic son to my dad's celebration of life. It's 1200...

Just wanted to provide an update. I received a message from the SC and they said that it looks like the connector house for the battery pack head is cracked and needs replacement. They ordered the part and will give me an update on Wednesday with the ETA. We are wondering what causes this to...

I was told they have loaners, but I would have to talk to the SC directly. It's a first come, first served basis. They work with Enterprise if they don't have loaners available. Fortunately, we also have a Lexus NX PHEV and a Maverick hybrid, so I decided not to get a loaner/rental. I was in...

Thanks to you both! I got a message in the app today letting me know they will give me an update on Wednesday. I just miss my R1S and want it back lol.

Gen 2 standard pack, picked up June 8th, has 296 miles on it. Went to take my son to speech therapy on Friday and I got a "Critical Battery Issue" warning along with the red warning light for 12v battery. It will charge to full and everything works as far as we can tell. We did a complete...

Thank you so much for this post. We are picking our R1S on Saturday, and while I have been driving EVs for years, I've never taken a road trip in one. My son and I are going to visit family on the Olympic Peninsula north of Seattle in August (from south Orange County, CA), and he really wants...

We're picking up our DM Standard with premium audio this weekend. Price is $80,900. We do not have a pre-order voucher and are paying full price. We are leasing to get the $7500 credit and will just buy out the lease asap. I had a Model X as my daily driver from 2019 to 2022. It was...

I got a phone call this afternoon letting me know that they would take the deposit that we already gave them and put it toward the one I picked from the shop. At that time they said they would call me in a few weeks once they have a good idea of when the new vehicles will be getting here (our...

Standard :)

June 29th in Orange County, CA. Placed the deposit last night on a shop vehicle. Got a call today to set up the appointment.

We've never leased a vehicle before, so thank you for the advice! We are planning on buying out the lease at the first opportunity, so I don't think residual values really matter for us. After seeing nothing but white, silver, black, and limestone in the shop for days, I placed a custom config...

We also live in south OC and also settled on the standard. And also with the 20 inch wheels for 258 miles of range. We charge at home, and the standard will meet our needs 99% of the time. We don't have a voucher, so we did a custom config in red with ocean coast and premium audio. It will...

I was given similar info from my guide yesterday. "We aren't able to swap order over - it will need to be a new order placed and us refund the current order." I haven't done it yet because I wanted to make sure I understood what she was saying, but having a couple people confirm makes me feel...
