Gen 1 quad, 12,000 miles.
Recently I’ve been noticing a high-pitched metal-on-metal type of noise when using the friction brakes. I only hear it when lightly applying the brakes, it goes away if I press harder.
It seemed to be coming from the front driver’s side so I took off the wheel to see...
Gen 1 Quad R1S. Slashed the inner sidewall of a Pirelli AT in the Colorado mountains this weekend. Bad/beginner driver, what can I say. Luckily, brought a full-size spare and was able to change it with a Big Red bottle jack. (Barely enough travel when starting from flat - different discussion)...
Offroad enthusiasts, what do you think of R2 and R3X?
Tri-motor offering makes it sound unlikely to get a locking diff. Are you excited for the stock capabilities?
My big question is modifications. Will you be able to lift them and can you put bigger tires on (and smaller wheels)? How about...

I get that there are issues with any heavy vehicle parking on a snowy slope (see this thread) but it still seems like a...

10xxx VIN picked up in Denver a couple weeks ago. 20" All-Terrains, quad motor.
I will say up front that I think the R1S is without doubt the awesomest car ever made, and I am still in shock that I own one and really excited for future adventures with it. That said, I won't hold back on...
Crossbars, floor mats, underbody shield, portable charger, tonneau. Maybe a roof tent, running boards. Spare tire (is that already included in the curb weight?), recovery kit, first aid, jack pucks, tools...Curious how much weight you're carrying before you load any cargo or people.
On one...
