I had pre-March 2022 pricing, and I bought a Launch Edition from the R1 Shop. I got my pre-March 2022 pricing.
I had a Max Pack reservation with no estimate for delivery (I had a PO Box listed, and didn't get around to changing it in time for the April delivery update.)
I changed my...
Just got this too. "By end of this year." is a pretty wide window. But I guess they are getting better at setting expectations and hopefully beating them.
Yeah, Launch Green also really helped my wife get on board with the purchase! She'd always wanted a green truck and didn't like Forest Green as much.
I wonder why LEs would have worse build quality? Mine is a 2023 model 24xxx VIN that was made in May. The only difference AFIK is the Launch...
I suspect it's one of two things.
1. They are just still super disorganized from growing their employee count so fast. I've been through several tech companies that grew super fast and it's always a disaster for a while while the orgs figure out how to actually do things. But nothing like the...
I have the temp thing too. I'm surprised they don't just issue a software fix to have it show an offset, like -10F lower than it's reading. Not an uncommon thing to have to do with temperature sensors like that. Maybe just a low priority, or it's off by a different amount at different actual...
And if I had to do it over again, I think I just would have done a much more detailed walk around, maybe grabbed one of the delivery checklists from here and gone through it. Noted all the issues with the guy who helped me at delivery, and then just had a ticket put in for repairs right then.
I...
I had a Volvo C40 Recharge also! Just sold it this last Saturday. Had to have the whole family drive from Tahoe to Sacramento to pickup the R1T from the West Sacramento SC and sell the Volvo. Was kind of sad to see it go.
That car was absolutely great, and did amazingly well in the most epic...
Yeah, I was talking about his comment, which you were responding to. Sorry the quoting didn't make it clear.
And yeah, I'd already paid for the R1T by the time I picked it up. I could have refused, and then how long would they hold my money? I already had done all the paperwork done too...
IIRC, there were 3 other Launch Green R1Ts in the shop at that time, but none with the same wheels. So I would have had to do a different config, or wait who knows how long. And maybe not get Launch Green.
But also it's pretty hard to take advice that basically amounts to "Go back in time and...
Yeah that's exactly right. Some of these are whatever, and I only noticed them because the other more egregious issues made me take a super close look at nearly everything. (Also reading this particular sub-forum a bit too much might have made me a little paranoid for issues)
I might have never...
I've posted about some of these elsewhere, but I wanted to share all the issues I've had so far with my R1T in one place and maybe get a sense from people how common it is to have this many minor issues.
I took delivery of my R1T on June 7th of Launch Green R1T from the R1 Shop, which was...
In the video @jwardell does call out a number of temperature related things starting about 4 minutes in. Though I don't see inverter temp on there.
I recently watched the Munro Live teardown of the quad motors, and saw that the inverter is shared for each motor pair. It made me wonder if that...
A bunch of fit and finish issues on my list to fix, but wondering if I should bother asking them to fix this one?
The top corner of the passenger side fender near the windshield has a gap big enough that the weather sealing doesn't fully cover it. The drivers side doesn't do this at all. It's a...
Just picked it up from the Service Center where they replaced the AC compressor. AC works great now.
It's going back in early August to fix a bunch of small things I noticed right after delivery (got it June 7th).
Things I hope to get fixed on that appointment.
