That's the key, most people buying a 3 row SUV are used to crossovers nowadays. For a truck with truck capabilities, it's phenomenal. For a crossover or a truck shaped minivan, it's not that great. Unfortunately, most will drive this like a Toyota Highlander and not so much a Toyota Sequoia...
Question 1:
Yes, if FSD type is your priority then Gen2 is what you'll want. For anything FSD related, a general rule of thumb is newer is always better since the computing and architecture is updated and more powerful. That said, newer generally comes with cost savings. Sometimes that's good...
I got into a head on collision in a Volvo S60, entire family walked away from that without a scratch or so much as a sore neck (thanks WHIPS!)
That's my version and about all I remember. The longer version (paraphrased) that I later read...
Drunk driver coming the opposite way (50mph road)...
This is precisely why I set my suspension to Low and then take corners extra hard. I've been trying to explain to my wife that it's purely to keep even tire wear between the inside and outside.
Maybe we’re being too hard on them. I can think of exactly one use case:
We’re going on a cruise and decide to drive the R1. Port is exactly 300 miles from my house and I’ll be gone for a week. The parking deck has disabled all of the 120Vs and there are no L2 chargers or DCFCs nearby.
Never...
No issues with charging for me, L2 or DCFC.
No issues with hesitation either.
22 as well and close to your VIN.
The suspension is constantly moving but I feel as if it’s always done that. But yes, some noticeable movement at lights that makes me scratch my head.
I think it’ll be relatively easy if you’re easy on the go pedal. That doesn’t mean you can’t speed but don’t mash it.
I haven’t been in that road but data points on a trip I just did that ma help you
1) Per Rivian: 2.8mi/kWh on conserve with an average speed of 78mph per the energy tab...
Um…ask for a loaner?
If they say no, ask them about lemon laws as your vehicle is not operable according to the manufacturer with no estimate of repairability.
Idk why you would take the warranty risk over those two options.
FWIW, I’ve got several Teslas using NMC. They’ll all degrade and level off at about 85%. And that’s with well over a hundred thousand miles, multiple cycles to 100%, and one uses DCFc almost exclusively. So even if you don’t follow it, that’ll hopefully give you an idea of the results of that...
Ford did with my Lightning. Paid for the tow to the dealer, and dealer dropped it back off in my driveway. In 3 years of ownership, I never once took the truck to the dealer myself, they always came to pick it up and dropped it off.
But that’s the advantage of having 3 dealers within 30min...
There’s a lot going on here. Rent vs own. New vs old, etc etc.
But for your situation, if you’re leasing it’s short term, the future proofing a Gen2 offers you is almost all eliminated.
I bought at launch, out over 20,000 miles on line within 6 months and don’t have any significant issues with...
He’s also working on simplifying it to be a sellable kit so that someone can retrofit it without a bunch of know how.
The Lightning forum has a lot of willing experimental guys. Everything from retrofitting BlueCruise into vehicles that didnt come with it, swapping to larger packs, figuring out...
Which wheel/tire combo, and how large of a compressor do you want?
I use this one when I'm hauling my trailer; those tires get filled to 100PSI, but it may be overkill for you..

Since I’m on the Lightning forums as well…
- Day to day use is not practical.
- Interesting for towing usage.
- Ad hoc for major road trips has potential
- Noise is a concern that he’s still working on
- He has also managed to relocate the J1772 port.
Extremely interesting the forum...
That part bugs me. I wish it waited to raise it back up. When I’m taking an off ramp, I want my trucks center of gravity to be lower, not adjusting up. I’ll just have to take them at 45mph..
