We don't know. R1 has double pane, at least up front. I haven't sat much in the rear seats of my R1T to know. Might check later today....

I know that when Tesla went with Li-Ion low voltage batteries on the Model Y (right before I had gotten mine), they were actually 16v, which messed up the towing package, as the line that would top off the trailer batters (and power other accessories) didn't work. So that was annoying...

Here's a nice write-up on why EVs still have a 12v battery. Essentially, it's to power all the components that are still 12v in the vehicle, and to isolate/disconnect the high voltage system when not in use (for safety and to keep as much energy in the HV battery as possible between drives).

I'm guessing it's due to the patio feature - it has to be squared off for that, since it folds up. It's becoming something that you see on more and more travel trailers, and I'm not sold on it...

Paragraphs would be helpful.

It has to get to standard height from a lower position now. It should take longer - unless there was some undocumented change at the rate the suspension rises (which I'm doubting, as that seems like it would be more work on the whole system).

If you are parking in a garage every night (like I do), it needs to be very cold outside for the battery temp to be low enough for any messages to show up. My garage is insulated (not well, but I blame the 50-year old construction work with uneven bay sizes!) so it's usually 5 or so degrees...

I'm waiting to hear more from people getting this tire, but for 275/55R21. If there's something this nicely priced for that size that doesn't mess with range all that much, it's much better than the spendy OEM tires.

That's a lot of cannolis.

TPMS requires the vehicle moving to get an accurate measurement. Or why, when you have parked for more than a few hours, you see on the gauges view a timestamp for when the pressure was measured. The number updates once you have driven for some distance. If the tire lost it's pressure all the...

Highway Assist and Adaptive Cruise Control.

I think point-to-point is gonna happen for the current Gen 2 vehicles, just minus the parking. I vaguely remember that from the Autonomy event.

Not every reservation will actually translate to a sale. Additionally, they most likely won't get to that run rate for a few years, unless the demand shows up (which I hope it does!)

I usually say when signatures start getting involved in the process. That being said, I last went thru the order process in January of 2024, and things have changed since then..... and we don't know if they will change again with the launch of R2 - they might be revamping some things to take...

I don't have the update yet, but I would lean towards the former over the latter. A picture of things might help my total guess...

Oh yeah, speed is the towing killer for sure! One of the reasons why I stick to 60-65mph at the most when towing my camper.

Might be a bit iffy - but there is a Tesla Supercharger between those two cites on I-40, and an EV Connect station on US 421 that could help out.

I've gone off-road in my R1T that I only bought in Feb 2024. Does that make me part of the "original crowd"?

RJ has stated in the past that R3 is targeting below R2 for sure, leading to some sites estimating about $37k starting.

Or maybe they balance it out with the fact that charging your truck outside of these big trips is so much cheaper that you're still ahead overall? I'm also curious as to what gas costs you used and towing gas milage got you to your numbers.
