What is your configuration? I ask because tire choice can make a big difference in the road feeling and steering tracking. Coming from a '98 Ram diesel 2500 4X4 with 35" AT, a 2002 Avalanche with 33" AT, a '16 Audi S3 with low profile summer performance tires, and now to the R1T with 34" AT, I...
I noticed the same this morning. I was plugged in all night charging to 85%, unplugged to leave for school/work and once I got in, got the limited regen warning, roughly 50°F in the garage outside in the high 20's. I did think that having it plugged in and having reached the charge limit might...
I don't use my CC on a daily basis but, when I do, I fully agree with your statement. It does not know enough about the surrounding traffic (not just traffic ahead), changing conditions, and my intentions, to suit my driving style in all scenarios. Let me turn the ACC off and just use a standard...
I came from no heated steering wheel so it feels great to me. IT does seem to cycle and have a temp differential across the surface.
Does it get HOT? no
Is it better than a cold wheel? Absolutely
I agree it could use at least 2 different temp settings, similar to the heated seat adjustment.
Yes, almost the same exact order date and config haha. I've had my truck for 6 weeks now. I did not cancel my initial order after the price increase (although I would have), and did not receive an updated email for delivery date. It was always Oct.-Dec. and I honestly did not expect it until...
Yes. The "new car smell" is all the synthetic materials releasing vapors into the surrounding air. Some of these collect on the windows and leave behind the residue which is what we see.
It wipes off easily with a microfiber cloth and window cleaner if needed.
The off-gassing process takes...
I've noticed it quite a bit, still at 6 weeks in. Unfortunately it is part of having a vehicle delivered fresh off the line with lots of synthetic materials. The smell does not bother me at all, but the haze it puts on the inside of the windows is very noticeable and annoying to me. Hopefully it...
So glad to read your post as we just returned from CO a few weeks ago. Being my first trip there and to those elevations and quick changes, driving an ICE car (modified S3) I noticed the power drop was SUBSTANTIAL. My normal 350hp @ 3,500 lbs. pass without downshifting, required me to downshift...
Strange, I would say I have the opposite experience. I've actually noticed that mine tends to roll at a VERY low speed when reversing and not aggressively apply the regen when I lift of the throttle. I back into my garage and have very little clearance front to back so, I have to be very...
No. No service performed on mine but it was delivered with loose screws (I have the reinforced UBS). I let them know in a service ticket, but I tightened them myself. I'll probably crawl back under for a reinspection soon to see what is/is not staying tightened.
One thing to note with the...
Based on the posts here and, my experience with the friction brakes in my R1T, I 100% agree that bedding in the brakes is needed. I found the best method was to find an empty back road and use a combination of the right foot lightly on the accelerator combined with full braking control by the...
Finally getting around to posting some of my dark paint/wheel combo. When I take it in for window tinting I will likely have the silver bumper trims wrapped in black as well.
Yes, the orange peel in the FG is heavy and consistent throughout the clearcoat. The sun/metallic flake combo help hide it but, in the shade it is very apparent.
Yes :) My guide showed this to me during delivery fortunately. I also found that they are incredibly bright (which is good) but, the dimming function does not go low enough in my opinion.
Great intro and excellent choice on color. I get many many compliments on the color in-person.
Very good point on bedding in the brakes. I have been so caught up being thrilled by not needing to use them that I overlooked the fact of doing this for when I actually will need them!
