I hear what you're saying, but keep in mind they also made statements about shipping timeframe which they didn't meet. Then when asked about it they were slow (compared to their original responsiveness) to respond. All of this can create concern with customers of a new company. So yes, probably...
Still same for me too. I went ahead and placed an order for a Lectron now. Maybe it’s been a blessing that mine still hasn’t shipped - it’s allowed me to see some of the reviews about the tightness and the locking switch frustrations. Once they both arrive, I’ll compare them and return the one...
That’s a canned T&C’s statement. They had given guidance on the forum (and I believe X) that all orders through 3/20 would ship the week of 4/1. They didn’t hit that for many and then didn’t seem to respond to questions about updates here or on X (after having been super responsive before)...
Same here. Losing a little faith after my initial excitement of how transparent and involved A2Z was. Seems to have over promised and under-delivered and now has gone dark on the forums and X. Hope they’re just head down trying to meet as many shipments as possible, even if they’re not hitting...
Ahh - interesting. I only saw Tom's last interview with him and the engineer, but I saw that he had joined multiple others (including the Out of Spec Podcast). The comments from all those people about them joining seemed to add to their confidence. I'll have to watch a few of the others.

Yeah - I saw that in State of Charge's video. But that feels minor to me in the grand scheme of things and I really appreciate how open, accessible and transparent the A2Z CEO has been. He's been interviewed by a number of content creators and that helped instill confidence for me (not that...
Did the same. At $167 with the discount code (rivian), it was worth the cost to me. Like someone on another thread said: if you need it, and you don't have it, the $167 will seem like a steal.

I think the bigger deal is they're offering a non-LT version in 275/65R20 that has a load rating more suited to the Rivian (116H that matches the OEM Pirelli). This will help shave a fair amount of weight and I'd expect it to be closer to the Pirelli in weight (48lbs). Add to that a 50k mile...
Not surprised. Although I'd argue it's more car dependent (or maybe even technician dependent). We've used Safelite before for other more common cars that didn't have cameras, heated windshields, etc and they did a fine job. But in this case, we literally gave them three tries and still had a...
For sure - if you are weekly doing 1,000 mile road trips, your need makes sense. I do those 4-5 times per year and the R1S large quad does just fine, even with scarce charging network in western Kansas (adds an hour to our normal 8.5 hour trip in an ICE vehicle). But I drive the R1S 4-5 times...
100%. Whole reason I bought an EV. I want something that is blistering fast. And the R1x is even more perfect as it is blistering fast, can go offroad, nice interior, can tow, etc. etc. If the R2S can do 0-60 in 3sec (maybe they'll even offer a tri-motor version at some point that does...
I think Safelite is great for more common cars, but they were an absolute disaster on our Land Rover Discovery (with a heated windshield). They broke every clip on the hood cowl. The first two windshields were put in incorrectly so they cracked within 30min while sitting in our garage (they...
