Why did I run in AP mode? I was going to stop 2x each way on the trip regardless of drive mode. Coming from gen 1 R1 where running in conserve increases uneven tire wear, I generally default to all purpose unless I need the extra range on a given trip or leg of a trip. With rear wheel focus on...
My brother has the Quicksilver Model Y. He is here with me right now. I will take side by side with his model Y to give you a feel for the comparison. Quicksilver is just a tad darker, but they are very close.
You know, I didn't realize it at the time, but now that you say that, it did seem less aggressive at times and I suspect it is exactly what you are referencing as I was constantly switching modes to try and get a feel for what was different. Thanks for the tidbit. I definitely missed that.
That was on one specific leg of the trip. Also note that I was in All-Purpose mode the whole trip. Never put it in conserve. I really was not watching efficiency at all as the stops were all natural stops for bathroom or food anyway. So, admittedly, I did not do a good job of tracking stats as...
Unfortunately, no I didn't go to Buccee's as it was not on my route. I have been to Buccee's before and they are "something". Charging is great, but otherwise way to crowded for me. Also, usually not easy on/out of those places.
I was a day one reservation holder and got the invite on first day to configure. At the time, they said 8-12 weeks for silver, but I got a VIN assigned in about 2 weeks and they were trying to deliver on 6/30 to get it in the first quarter.
All, I took delivery of my Esker Silver R2 with 20/AT wheel/tire option on last Wednesday 7/8/2026 and promptly took a road trip over the weekend from Dayton, OH to Madison, WI (about 1000 miles round trip) for my nephews wedding. I have Gen 1 R!T and Gen 1 R1S, so all my comparisons are to my...
Another touch point ... I just went to Bryce Canyon and Zion for a long weekend from Buckeye AZ.
Was hoping to stop at EA in Flagstaff as it was most convenient and cheaper since I still had the pricing plan, but 2 stations down and 2 full on both the way up and back, so used the Rivian RAN...
