This is very reasonable advice. The problem is that neither of us are really into the Tesla and we share cars. I also bought the M3 used which makes this a bit less ridiculous.
We currently have an R1T and Tesla M3. My wife and I are both excited about the R2 but the car we really want is the R3X. Our plan has been to sell the M3 and lease an R2 while we wait. I know next to nothing about leasing a car. Does this make sense?
FWIW - We got our R1T in June of '22 and...
I don't like the overall thickness of the tailgate. It makes it awkward for bikes compared to most trucks. But if the tailgate is too heavy what are you carrying in the bed?
This is weird. Can you get it shipped to a service center?
I tried a Fox tailgate pad and the problem is how fat the tailgate is. The non-Rivian pads work and are probably better pads but just don't fit well and it causes some bikes to sit oddly on them.
I'm in Chicago and have had a G1 R1T for almost 4 years.
1) Yes. I'll probably get an R2 and definitely getting an R3
2) Can't say, there are only 2 of us.
3) When we road trip I have a bike(s) in the bed so that space is limited for luggage but we get along fine. If you are using the bed for...
Mine has done it and still does. One day it was really loud so I made an appointment at the service center. Everything checked out fine.
There are other threads about this issue.
1) Use Plugshare for information on chargers. It is probably the only subscription I don't mind paying for.
2) It will get easier over time.
3) Sometimes the software planning is just weird. Even when it isn't bad it will leave me scratching my head. Don't be afraid to make changes. There have...
I can totally see uses for it but maybe not for $1600. First thing that comes to mind is if you have something mounted over the bed and want access to gear in the back. No need to take everything else out.
I use high and like others would probably use higher if it existed. The only issue I have with it is repositioning my foot or leg. I'll do it without thinking and get a second of hard regen. I know I could hit cruise control or be very gentle but that isn't how it always goes.
We still love our 3 year old R1T and plan on keeping it as long as possible. I don't love our model3 so I could see leasing an R2 until we can finally get the car we really want which is the R3X. If you always wait for the next thing you never get anything.
Evidently all my nav settings were lost. Shame on me for not going through everything after all of our saved addresses were wiped out. I had a long drive and I couldn't figure out why the nav kept sending me to less than ideal chargers until I had gone to a few. Specifically the "avoid chargers...
