This is why having engineering and manufacturing should be having cross meetings. I never allowed my mechanical engineers to cause a new part for no reason. If they had a handle on this they would have used the R1 part. It would reduce the cost of inventory and increase the availability. That’s...

Having been a Materials Manager at for a manufacturing facility there are a lot of factors to consider. Production’s do typically ramp up however if QC finds something not correct they can actually stop a line. Second unless you manufacture all your parts in house you are in fact at the mercy of...

So I had a car with a similar color. After awhile I got so tired of the color. Maybe this will look so different in person. Going to the Miami block party I like the launch green but I’m thinking I might like the regular green better when I see it in person. I’m so over any grey tone. Been...

Well I must say depending on the high end car depends on what training is expected of their personnel. My friend worked as a mechanic for Mercedes back in the day. He had to take special classes and was expected to work cleanly. No grease on his uniform etc. Porche was even more expensive to be...

So the question I have since I have been out of High Tech for 10 years, is this; isn’t LiDar a much more accurate and stable hands free and road travel? Since we can’t physically upgrade the hardware would it make sense to wait? I thought if they went with their highest production suv st the...

Anyone know what this “approach/depature” angle means?

My credit score is excellent. I get discounts but it’s a Tesla. We have had 2 hurricanes and the insurance companies are trying to recoup their losses. If a Tesla gets water on the battery it’s toast. While new battery. Rivian has something that protects the battery from water. I’ve shopped...

I ordered an R2 and filled out the form. Please add me to the List

That’s so weird. I was never actually given the option of which addition I wanted. I placed my order September 2024. How did you find out where you were on the list? me too. I’m not putting on all the miles two and from town. It’s about 72 miles round trip. My Tesla has no real value. I’ll use...

With high repair costs come even higher insurance costs. My Tesla Y used to cost $120/month. Then it went up to $240/month. No claims. They said insurance prices just went up. We had to pay for all the claims.

I think that’s a great idea About the dog crates. They can make one for the R2 and the R1. I hope they watch this forum to get great ideas. The dog crate that is crash tested is the best for me. So much money for them to get off of your idea. I was thinking the same thing.

Thanks. That’s the numbers I needed. It’s pretty good but I can see that the entry opening will be tight. If the seats fold flat the 36” seat depth won’t be a problem. anyone know how wide the back door opening is (not the rear hatch).

Thank you so much. The I picked the right vehicle to wait for. I can’t wait. I put my deposit September 2024. Which means I might not see it till 2027-2028. I want the premier package. It has the important things to my me. again thank you for posting this.

I wish we could see the tailgate open. I have kennels for my dogs and need to see how much head clearance there is. Also the lowest point of the trunk space and the narrowest. The amount of total cubic feet doesn’t help.
