@HaloEyes would you know if the Deutch connector to the passenger side horn is accessible through the wheel well? I’m trying to avoid splicing the wire and use a Deutch splitter instead.
@Npa201 as an aficionado of ICE vehicles and german engineering, I have to say that after driving the R1S, I don’t think I’ll ever go back. I’ve fallen in love with this freaking thing, and I hope you do too. Nice stable of cars by the way.
Likewise, as a new owner, my experience with our guide has been great, both from a pre-sale and post-sale perspective. The whole “concierge” model is pretty awesome.
70% as NY inspection shops are now required to do tint % inspections during inspections, and they get fined if they let cars with darker tint %s pass. I also used the following to stick the inspection and registration stickers to the windshield tint film. Works really well.

The Chilewich mats aren’t as thin as I had thought - they have a felt-like backing too. Water seems to collect “into” the mats and doesn’t seep through to the carpet. The mats also seem to have fabric edges, which would provide some barrier to water just shedding off. Time will tell how well...
For anyone looking to make their Chilewich mats waterproof, flip them over and spray the backs with Flexseal clear. Creates a rubberized finish and stops water bleeding into the carpets. ?
For anyone interested in using the holes in the R1S tie-down anchors for a telescoping luggage bar, the Mopar 68218339AA fits perfectly into the holes, and stops items shifting around in the cargo area.
The Audi telescoping luggage bar ends (Audi 4M08603784PK) clip in perfectly into the holes and can be released with the spring mechanism on the luggage bar. However the fully extended Audi luggage bar is 1” too narrow to fit the R1S (43” vs 44”)
I found other version of the telescoping...
@WaitingonmyR1T I’m taking my R1S on Monday next week to have my custom laser/radar combo installed. Curious to understand the power on/off config with your custom install - does it power off when you lock the car and power on when you unlock the car, or do you power it on and off manually?
Thank you! Wanted to create something special, with a mix of Satin and gloss black, and a few compass yellow accents. Painting the front and rear fender trim/undercarriage made a big difference aesthetically, along with clear-coating the Abstract Ocean emblems to make them stand out. The...
In case anyone in the tri-state area is interested, the team at Eurotech Motorsports in Mahwah, NJ did an incredible job on our R1S.
