With a cheap 7.6" extension, it fits fine, and allows the liftagte and tailgate to open fully.

I have a Kuat Sherpa Rack, and can confirm it does -not- fit without an extension. I could put one bike on it, in the position farthest aft (away from the tailgate) but there is interference with the roof in the front position. A road bike with narrower handlebars might fit, but my hardtail...

My VIN #355x (delivered 3/3/23) has the meridian sound system, all 3 12V plugs, plastic trim on the headrests, and 2 cargo hold downs in the back. My guess is that yours will be similar. FWIW I definitely do -not- have a loud suspension compressor noise in the cabin. I don't know if I have...

They seem to be clearing out the older orders at an increasing pace With a 10/2019 preorder, and 11 minutes from a service center, I was in "processing estimate" limbo since the October estimate last year. I had a guide assigned in January, and hassled him for store access when others seemed...

I have a (second) house near you, and I think the sparse population there is more of a feature than a bug. Availability of real DCFC (except for Tesla) is a real issue, but mostly mitigated if you can charge at home. You might consider leaving it at your son's house for a couple of weeks...

Didn't really need to. The frunk swallowed the suitcases (every body brought "carry-on" sized bags) and the extra stuff (bedding and condo supples, random junk) went either in the cage space under the floor in the "way-back" or on the floor in front of the middle row seat that wasn't occupied...

Also, you can fit the three boxes required for an Ikea Kivik sofa in an R1S, still close the lift gate, and have a usable rear view through the mirror...

Ha, true. But, the trucks without the extra 12V outlets are lighter, so they are quicker 0-60 and have greater range.

They've said that customers preferred the new in house audio system. In other news, they've also increased the chocolate ration from 30 to 25 grams...

FWIW I used a ChargePoint charger in Birmingham, AL a few days ago. Only one of the two 50kw stalls worked, but that one connected immediately and worked as expected. Overpriced at $.49/kwh

We drove 1000 miles over last weekend with 3 adults, 3 dogs, and an embarrassing amount of luggage. "Carry on" sized rolling bags fit in the frunk with the longest axis fore/aft (wheels against the "firewall") and the second longest axis vertical. Everybody had plenty of room, even with...

This is an excellent idea. My Tesla has notified me when charging is interrupted (it's a setting you can toggle) for as long as I can remember.

My VIN is 0035xx (2023 R1S) and I have all 3 12v outlets—frunk, center dash, and left rear.

Thanks for that. I'll be fine though, I was at 79% (leaving that charger) and drove here with about a 5 mile detour to run an errand on the way. Arrived with 67 miles of nominal range driving in all-purpose mode and not being at all careful. No preconditioning on the way down, but I've also...

Followup: In Florida, 133 miles from the first DCFC on my route home. I had to try two different circuits (first one didn't work with the wall charger although it works fine with my golf cart). Charging now on 120v, and have added 52 miles in the last 24 hours. Should be good to go for my...

I'm sitting in Destin now, drove down Thursday afternoon. The Memphis-Destin leg was a bit tight with a headwind, but we made it to Alabaster running a bit slower than I normally drive (68-71 mph with a 12-20 mph quartering headwind). In Alabaster, there is a dog-friendly (on the covered...

A bit of additional information to flesh this out... None of this changes the steps I suggested up thread a few post ago, but it does change what I think is the most likely culprit. I'm charging at a vacation home, 133 miles from the nearest high speed DCFC charger that is on or near my route...

And my sincere hope is that Tesla priori ope ing superchargers that are along routes that are currently underserved. This would have several advantages: it has less chance of annoying current Tesla owners with more congestion at superchargers (superchargers rarely busy or congested away from...

I’ve never had to wait, and never have seen a supercharger station completely full. But, I live in “flyover country” and my driving trips are all within 1000 miles of home. I u derstand that things are different on the coasts (I did live in Orange County for a bit, and still have family in LA).

I think it’s largely dependent on where you live, but I think the infrastructure is disappointing. I’ve had my R1S for two weeks, and have road tripped about 1200 miles so far. Out of 6 EA sites I’ve visited so far, two have worked as expected and advertised. I’ve always been able to...
