Is it worth doing: possibly, sometimes it gets way better, sometimes for the hood some other areas take an alignment hit. Depends on if it bothers you.
How long does it take: Costa Mesa is unpredictable, can be 1-2 days or 1-2 weeks depending on their backlog.
Maybe.. but the Germans have been over delivering on highway miles and EPA estimates. They went over on the iX and the EQS on highway miles. So I think it’ll be the 240-250 range realistic for the 580 model and the amg will likely drop down further.
Tesla does have true one pedal driving, you remove your foot from the accelerator and the vehicle comes to a stop. Their throttle input to overcome the break hold is much more sensitive, that’s what the poster is talking about. I agree. In sport mode it slightly overcomes this, but the throttle...
To respond to these concerns:
-How is the ownership experience in terms of build quality, service and repair times (Tesla being below average)
My personal experience has not been great, I have had 7 service center visits in 1 year of ownership, most of the time fixing things that were not...
I think the R2 rollout will be a tough one, but they'll get funding no problem. Will it be forever till the stock is back up to even half what the IPO was, probably. No fanboy speak here, I just dont see it falling by the wayside like Fisker or Lucid.. production and QC is so much better off...
Appreciate the honesty. When i read owners say it’s one of the quietest vehicles they’ve ever owned it boggles my mind. I’ve driven 3 Rivians. My own, a loaner T and a loaner S (all 2023 builds), all of them noisy, wind/ suspension/ various rattles. This thing is more truck than luxury, and...
We have a friend with one of these in SoCal. Stations have been down a few times in the area and Toyota ends up getting loaners for all the Murai owners. This whole hydrogen thing seems like a joke. Resale on the vehicles are next to nothing because no one in California wants to deal with the...
Talked to SC about this, it's a known issue that they say within spec.. they said it's a poor design on the triangle window. Wonder if the refreshed model will solve this. But this helped me...
A notably improved audio system
Improved insulation from wind at highways speed
Quieter suspension with faster height adjustment
Phone chargers that work
More durable seat materials for back of front seats (looks like rubber coating peeling on some vehicles).
Maybe you left prematurely? I just tried the full self driving that became available on our MY and am pretty blown away. I never tried the beta so this is my first experience and it was a great one. For service our Model Y got a loaner when we needed it or an enterprise loaner if they didn’t...
I did this as well. Noticeable difference of heat when the sun would shine onto my arm or hand when driving in a rental R1 without it. Highly recommend. I did 70% xpel prime plus.
I get pretty loud clunks over speed bumps if I’m going anything over 3mph. Then I see promo videos of R1Ts going what looks like 10mph rock crawling and 40-50mph rallying, makes me wonder what those sound like.
youre just placing it below the plastic trim as seen in the pictures, not much pressure to get it in. I havent car washed, although I usually hand wash so I dont see it being much of a problem. If it does fall out, luckily you'll have tons more weather stripping since the amazon roll is huge.
