Yea the Eaton fire was pretty crazy because it was really inland... and winds were up to 100 mph with no air support. Totally different battle up there and at that time.
Pretty damn sad of whats happening in Alta Dena. my friends liquor store was like the only remaining store and a few others...
Thanks!!
Its done now. Bulldozers from LAFD and Forest Service came within minutes. The helipad where they refill helicopters with water is literally over the hill less than a mile. So it's all good now. Just had to deal with panicking wife and saying the neighbors were knocking on their door...
Biggest issue with California is that they dont care. Yes we have reservoirs, but not enough. Yes we maintain the reservoirs, but not enough maintenance. We're not in a drought they should always be filled. Water pumps and all are maintained, but they're OLD just like transformers in some of...
Just got evac order but not leaving. I think a lot of people do panic, but if you're keeping track of how things are really going its ok, unless it was Tuesday, anything can happen. People are already packed on my street and ready to leave and the Archer fire is pretty much already done.
Small...
Isn't it better the other way around for efficiency?
I got 1.48 mi/kwh from los angeles, ca to mammoth. 300 miles. 7000ft elevation.
Gen 2 R1S DMP 20AT
Have skiis strapped onto cross bars ( no mount. super aero)
Yakima exo swing in the back.
I was terribly annoyed that my Gen 2 R1S caps out at 110 mph.... I have 20" A/T so it was expected.
But was really hoping for 130 even that is not enough, but wouldn't go that fast on the 20" A/S.
Really depends where you're traveling. California is all 65, but you have a lot of people doing...
Yea thats the first thing I do with an EV in the snow. I turn off Regen. Unfortunately, you can only put it on low and that can still cause you to skid when you're not careful. Same thing in the rain, turn off regen or keep it on low to prevent hydroplaning. It's a 7000 lb vehicle, but it can...
Leave it open. My goal was to always have snow on my roof that lasts from Mammoth, CA to Los Angeles. OBviously on a SUV it won't get that far because its a 300 mile drive with good head wind and driving 80-90 mph+. This one time it was very very cold after a big storm... Almost drove back all...
Overall good. Just some white person that likes adventures lol is the stereotype.
When I used to have a RRS, I drove it around all muddy. Showed everyone I bought it not to just show off like 99.98% Californians, but to actually use it to offroad and chase storms. Got pretty beat up towards the...
Ah. which ones did you get? I have the 20" AT and feels like its going to rip through it....
Actually, I've been in a lot of the Mammoth record storms and not too long ago the 2023 Lake Arrowhead storm and never felt the need for chains unless it was R1 restriction. Had a 2020 RRS HSE at that...
Looks nice but ant reason why you would get this over the Yakima exo swing? Would be much more aero efficient. Like way more. I mean the roof does look cool. I usually use my cargo box and then if I need, use the exo swing add on to put additional cargo rack on top. Then if I need additional...
The issue with these high-end home audio speaker companies is that a lot of them don't actually make the speakers themselves. A lot of them just just focus on the processing part. Honestly, the most important part as long as the speaker is not made of coffee filters and refrigerator magnets...
I'm planning on sending in my R1S to the new Burbank, CA location. They are pretty good to work with. They will pretty much get us any loaner, so currently we are looking to receive a Cadillac Escalade or a Range Rover.

Nice! Love the Compass Yellow!
Do you have any experience in any other vehicles off roading?
Just trying to compare since I do see a lot of videos, but difficult to justify how it actually performs.
For example, how well electric motors do vs 3 locking diffs, etc.
