I've been paying close attention to performance the last few days, and I think I've had a few epiphanies as to why performance is (at times) so poor on the infotainment computer. But first a bit of context: Many have noticed that the map app is generally very poor performing. Lots of lag when...

My guess is release notes will come out in the next day or two, and the software will actually start rolling out within a couple of weeks

Oh nice! How's your 2025 quad been for the last 2 years? ??

R1T has a better ride, and a larger turning radius. quite noticeable in tight parking lots

I can't say I've experienced that with mine, the half shafts were mostly an issue for G1 quad... Though it sounds like you may have something going wrong in that area.

I'd agree with the tech's analysis. Noticeable difference, but not HUGE. It's still the same suspension setup at heart, but with better tuning specific to the R1S. If that was the only difference between generations it would not be worth the upgrade. Yeah the truck has always had a better ride...

Yeha that thought crossed my mind as well. Team HASS here, so I've got no insight on electrafi. That would make sense, though!

Good point! It may not even be an actual vehicle

It might also be that the dual motor (from the rear of the tri) unit is not exactly double the output of the single motor.

You guys have 12v batteries?

I'm assuming power output limitations from the battery, and/or something related to thermals

So I've been snooping around Electrafi, anxiously awaiting more details about the 2025.6 update. And I happened to notice something odd about the only recorded vehicle that's installed this update. It's a 2025 R1S quad - according to electrafi... except... it's got a history going all the way...

Welp. Neither you nor I can argue about the personal experience of the other. So agree to disagree I suppose ?;)

My personal experience says that whatever they did to Gen 2 is beyond this. Driving loaners (2024 my) I noticed an immediate difference

I would say this holds true for R1T, but not so for R1S. Gen 2 is noticeable smoother and more controlled.

Do you mind if I ask why?

Interesting - I can't say I've experienced QUITE to those extremes yet. I got my R1S late enough in the year that the highest temp I saw was 85, and this winter the coldest we've gotten where I live is 14. But I've been fine with HVAC performance in that range, at least

Doesn't bother me either. With regard to the volume, I have noticed a bug that appears to be specific to Gen 2. It sounds funny, but the only way I can describe it is that the first time I enable highway assist on a drive, it'll "shout" the first syllable of the highway assist engaged sound...

Are the seats occupied? In my R1S it automatically turns on if it senses weight in the back seat. If you're driving solo, and the front HVAC isn't enough to keep you comfortable I'd say something is wrong with your system. Mine is enough to cook (or freeze) me out
