Kind of a head scratcher to me that they didn't make the cable and socket electrically conductive so they could detect someone walking up and cutting it to trigger the vehicle alarm. Would have been a much more compelling and unique implementation considering how easy it to discretely cut cables...

Uh....yeah? I think it's pretty obvious that Munro is in the business of pulling things apart and selling the findings and their observations to competitors. This is not amazingly hard or inspired work. It's easy to take pot shots when you are ignorant to all the pressures engineers at OEMs...

I trust these guys more than pretty much anyone else. Very happy to see they liked it!

Sandy is way past his prime and his "expert commentary" is painful. Lost his last shred of credibility when he got out of the truck and lamented the lack of yoke. Give me a break! Also as much fun as it is to watch the awkwardness, him directly talking about competing products to the CEO of a...

The biggest areas where I feel the Truck seems outdated compared to modern EVs are: 1) Heat pump HVAC for added range. Make whatever excuses you want, but these have been around for a long time and really help in cold weather. 2) Camera quality. There is no precedent for substantially improving...

The range figure is actually pretty good considering the speed, tires, and outside temperature. That said, it is a 130 kwh pack. What is not impressive is the charge curve they posted that is WELL behind competitors. My current Tesla requires nearly 40 min to do 10-80% and I just can't see...

An onboard dash cam is badly needed. Hopefully this is in the queue.

My biggest hesitation with this truck has always been the size and it looks like they tamed it a bit. I personally prefer the styling over the Rivian but am getting tired of Tesla gimmicks like the yoke and no door handles.

Thanks Tommy! I've been waiting years to see this exact data and your approach was articulate and easy to understand. Was literally pulling my hair out reading the Motortrend coverage, but you guys delivered.

Thanks!

Can you point me to some 20" all season tires that meet the necessary load rating?

Checked out Tirerack's offerings for the R1T and was a bit surprised by what I saw: -The OEM 21" tires are the only size currently offered as mentioned but they are pretty poorly rated, similar to our Model Y all seasons that are more or less hockey pucks in the snow -The OEM 20" are very well...

I hear ya regarding Google jank but generally anytime I've ever had a problem it's always been resolved (for me) by rebooting the phone. Eventually I started having connectivity issues, and it turned out to be my phone's well-worn USB port, fixed with a replacement. Can't speak to using a wake...

Normally don't bother arguing with people but, come on. Is this a real comment from a real person? On another note, our Tesla's bluetooth integration started great but has been "updated" to garbage. It has been notifying us of text messages that are a year old. Stopped allowing us to dictate...

I'm cancelling mine. Spending 80 grand for that interior quality and exterior styling is a joke. Anyone who needs the "work truck" capabilities would be FAR BETTER OFF just getting the hybrid F-150.

The Maverick is an excellent product as it's basically a truck with all the BS testosterone removed. Everything right-sized and right-priced for 90% of truck buyers actual needs. I am personally split between buying the R1T vs buying a Maverick AND Miata for the same money.

Got this to avoid buying the Tesla Homelink. Ours works like crap. I got tired of fixing it and went back to using the clicker. Ymmv.

I have a first 10K reservation with a dealer that has confirmed they will not be adding a markup. I was drawn by the initial low price and the onboard power but the final design and pricing are really not appealing IMO. Yes you get a dealer network but the ugly aero wheels, awkwardly low ground...

My problem with glass roofs is that OEMs tint them too dark to be useful. You end up with a cabin barely brighter than a metal roof but with added solar gain in the summer, reduced insulation in the winter, and more sound reflection year round. Early Model 3s had superior coatings where it was...

I'm willing to bet the removable roof is several years away at best, despite what the website says.
