Oh, I know, we owned one for a few years (dumped it early off a lease), I was very engaged in the community, talked with a few 3rd party app devs quite a bit, plus I have 3+ decades in the tech industry that included a notable amount of time in the AR/CV/ML space (so I'm reasonably hip to the...

Well, my solo material wasn't selling great, so had to get the wife involved.

Proximity to a service center was a primary reason for bailing on a previous R1S reservation. We were in St. Aug, closest SC was in Orlando, and even that was too far for me (~2 hours). FF to today, not only is there a SC in the St. Johns area (back in SA), but we're now in DTO (Orlando) close...

From the manufacturer who can't make automatic windshield wipers work correctly, sure, let's hand over control of the vehicle in inclement weather :CWL:

I bailed on our Tesla lease 3 months early. The retention people lost their minds :D

Yeah, we had to turn to Only Fans.

What is it with this recent batch of Tesla owners on this forum? :CWL: Yeah, the original EVSE I was using with that N6-50 receptacle was a Grizzl-E. :)

Funny I just posted this on Tuesday: And I still suggest that short term better service coverage makes some sense. We’ve got two SCs in Orlando both like 10 minutes from the new digs. Not sure if one is just like a showroom vs. full service, haven’t checked them out yet :)

I should mock up an existing R2 lease, see if it makes heads spin …

That might be AI gen-ed, but there are 100s of reports (including a buddy of mine) about the seat and steering wheel materials coming apart, bubbling, etc., in Teslas, and the subsequent service hassles about it being the "owner's fault" (hair, skin or cleaning products being blamed vs. shitty...

One thing that's very cool (in the context of cleaning up/out a vehicle) with our Wrangler, you lift out the mats, and the floor isn't carpeted and has drain plugs so you can wash out the floor areas with a hose.

Well, that's just goddam glorious!

Isn't there also some kind of location based priority as well (i.e., "Where are you taking delivery?")? Like proximity to a Rivian SC, which would make sense if they want a good experience with a new platform (as in, it can be serviced quickly, good WOM, etc.).

The ADAS in our iX is stellar, there's several subfunctions, hands free traffic mode, highway, look-to-validate-lane change, etc. And some really slick tech stuff (not really ADAS per se) like it tracks the last 100 or so yards, so if you pull into a deal end, you can have it simply do a...

This particular app/developer is iOS only, but there's apparently very good Android apps that do basically the same thing (and they all work with several different detectors). This is the one that comes up in a lot of discussions, apparently has pretty close feature parity vs. R8 Companion...

Yeah, where are the EV convertibles? I’m kind of surprised BMW didn’t jump on this, I feel like the i4 could’ve been offered as a convertible pretty easily unless there’s some core engineering issue that I am just not understanding. I hear you about convertibles people talk about sunroof or...

Good lord, that needed a copy check hahahaha. In my defense it is kind of chaos here this morning. We have a brand new amazing place down in DTO and we’re finalizing what we’re taking down with the house up here in SA. Moving stuff into do not disturb areas for the estate sale coming up this...

The Recon would've been closer to an "electric Wrangler" than the R2, but it's overpriced, under-ranged, and they're too obsessed with 0-60. The removable doors are very cool, it was have some open roof options, but no thanks. And I saw that as someone who was very interested initially. Jeep...

Oh right, so a couple of steps back: the R8 is a Uniden R8, it's a radar detector*, that model has BT and can communicate with apps. R8 Companion is one of those apps (it's 3rd party), it has much better screening, a constantly evolving database/markers, has extensive tuning options, and, it...

Yes! It’s happening!
