I've had mine for about 2 months. I love the square back and the rear styling of R1S is the reason I picked it back in 2019 and there is still no other option (electric or ICE) that I prefer in the price point. For more money I do like the new range rover.... Our other car is a Yukon and behind...

Looks amazing! I am curious about range and road noise.

I would buy both for R1S.

This strap system is the same as a Tahoe. If you have young kids this makes a big difference. Most small people who can fit comfortably in the 3rd row would struggle to unfold the seats themselves. Being able to do it from the trunk rather than have to climb in the car is very useful IMO.

As an owner of an R1S he is spot on about the 3rd row being a pain to unfold. Not sure how they messed that up!!!! Just take 2 seconds with a tahoe and see how they have a strap that activates the latch to pull up the 3rd row. It doesn’t necessarily even need to be a power 3rd row….

Yeah, hard to imagine taking it down that line with trained employees and all that specialty lighting and not noticing these things... I do think that the overall quality is very good and it is a shame to have the perception go down due to loose trim and the like. Making vehicles is hard and...

Looking at it in person it seems the worst case would be the need to drill a new hole for the mounting hinge. It is the right shape it just isn’t mounted far enough forward. The gap at the top is also too large. It isn’t like the top is right and the lower part is sticking out which would...

@Tim@XPEL any update on the program for R1S? I got a quote from a reputable local dealer and it was $7,500. I wish there was a corporate xpel near me. I think the high dealer pricing is just par for the course in the current “people will pay any price” inflation economy. As interest rates...

On the hood I think you are correct. But all the trim and the rear hatch I think were clearly QC oversights (or intentional ignore). Also, the tortion bar in the tailgate really should have been caught. It really slams down without it and someone should have caught that. If I can fix it in my...

I do think it is floating… there is a clip behind the front of mine that is clearly loose. I think it should be an easy fix once they have the parts.

Don’t get me wrong I am super happy to have it. But, I have considered putting up for sale and ordering another one that would likely have at least a few kinks worked out. But it is super cool driving something where most people say “what is that?”. A lot of people think it is a Range Rover. I...

Already in and scheduled. I am hoping they don’t have to replace or repaint the hood. The paintwork seemed great.

I 100% agree it looks green and also thought it would not. I love it since I have LG exterior and I think it looks great. But with other exterior colors I would prefer it to be all black.

I got an email and was able to schedule delivery on the website. Then I got a few confirmation texts leading up to delivery and on the day of delivery the delivery specialist called me.

I took delivery a little over a week ago of my Launch Green, Black Mountain, 20” AT, underbody shield R1S. I was a November 2019 preorder holder. I love the truck despite a few minor trim / panel fitment issues. I am not the best at taking pictures and mostly have them of the fitment issues...
