"No benefit" is a subjective statement. Let's say I end a day with 30%.. except I've just gotten home and plugged in and I get a call of family members with an emergency 50 miles away, etc. The last thing I want to be worrying about with a vehicle is range, and as others have said, public...

Interesting. I was watching the monitor and I thought that during regen, I noted that the rears WERE connected to help. I'll pay attention to this tomorrow, maybe I'm remembering wrong; not sure why they WOULDN'T connect the rears for regen though, as that would only improve efficiency and...

I think this is obvious, just looking for a discussion about what those consequences are. The ride height does seem to be a good point, but I think we've put the "higher rate of tire wear at the front" concept to bed as not applicable on the gen 2s. As far as the rest, I got the tri-motor as...

Well, this makes a good point, about the ride height. I think the front wheel drive thing has been shown to be pretty irrelevant, considering the back motors are used basically any time the vehicle isn't in a steady-state cruise. But yes, the negative camber of a low ride height would be a...

To recap on this, the concerns I see are: 1. Uneven tire wear / over reliance on front motors. But in the gen 2 vehicles, the rear motors are used for every start from a stop, and for any aggressive acceleration. So this seems to be a moot point. 2. Feeling of rear motors engaging /...

Hi there, new R1T owner here: 2026 tri motor. New to EVs in general as well. I note that conserve mode does indeed net me meaningful extra range, and if I understand it correctly, the rear two motors will still be used when traction control deems them necessary. This has me wondering: why not...

Thanks for the feedback all. Sounds like they're holding up better than I was guessing; good news. I'm not too concerned about cosmetic issues, just safety and functionality. Sounds like they do ok. 👍

Would "it's a truck, it gets rained on" be an acceptable answer? 😁 I just have too many other things to do around here to worry about washing a car. If it were dirty enough to bother me, touchless car wash is fine. A major caveat though - we don't salt roads here. If we did, I'd run it...

Hello! We had our wall charger installed today. It's outside on a post next to the driveway. The property is kind of unique and the garage is across a creek up the old farmhouse driveway, so we park on an uncovered paved area near the house. This means that the charger is FULLY exposed to...
