I recently took off my tow receiver cover and found an unoccupied rodent nest. I don't recognize the nesting material from anything in the vicinity of where I park and hoping it's not something pulled from somewhere in the vehicle...
I am on the shorter side and there is definitely wear showing from my sliding out of the seat at ~17,500 miles. Please ignore the dirtiness as I was cutting and hauling a bunch of firewood and tracked half the forest back into the cab with me.
Most of it is under a carport, but the bed juts out a bit due to my lumber rack in front of it. Redesigning the carport is one of my projects I hope to make headway on during winter break.
I'm also refraining from driving on it. I can barely stand without sliding on my driveway.

I've contributed to some of the launch green sightings as I've been in and around Pullman several times with my R1T and planning to be there again Labor Day weekend :)
I had this issue prior to the update and resolved it by "pulling" the vent as far as it will go on the screen in the direction I wanted it to move and holding it until it was moved in that position.
Bow season in Oregon is 8/27 -9/25 so I'll be out in the woods through most of that time. I'll keep an eye on what gets scheduled though in case I can make it work.
Also there were some R1S specific additions in the R1S manual:
Added Cargo area diagram.
Added info on the second row: center seat, seat adjustment, and armrest.
Added flat seat folding info.
Added section on optional retractable cargo cover operation.
Added note on how to open door handles when in car wash mode.
Added note with list of conditions where the vehicle may be making sounds when parked.
Added information about pet comfort mode.
Instructions added for adjusting the steering wheel.
Information included on a new “Auto” ride height...
I forgot to check PlugShare and was surprised by the Hermiston EA outage when I was out that way last month. Thankfully I had enough range to get to a 50 kW charger in the Tri-Cities. Also, Ritzville still only had one fully functional CCS unit (150 kW) which was the same situation when I was...

Aside from minor cleanup:
Note added about proximity away from home...
Well I feel silly. I was pressing the right of the handle thinking the button underneath would trigger the handle to extend, but pushing on the left side mechanically pushes the other end out. Unless I overlooked it in the manual I didn't see info on operating recessed unlocked handles.
So I have the new version and decided to wash the car today which is something I can still do with my expired tags. I put it into car wash mode and washed the exterior. When I went to get in to repark it I couldn't access it. I tried locking/unlocking and pushing in the handle with no result. I...
