2025 R1S Tri Motor

[thomasoris]

I'm buying a 2025 R1S Tri Motor later this week, has less than 13,000 miles. My question, last year the AC compressor was replaced, and the charge port harness was as well. Do I have anything to worry about? Things I should consider, look for? Red flag?

Probably fine. And its still under warranty, so at least the prior owner was the one to deal with the 2 defective parts.

You should be good. I'd take that as a win knowing that those parts are fresh. If the carfax checks out doooo iittttt.

How much are you getting it for?

If you were buying my 2025 Tri, you'd see it was in for service like 8 times for warranty work in the last 1.5 years, for sensor/computer replacements, tonneau replacement, cladding re-attachment, preemptive 12v replacement, camera diagnostic, etc. etc. It's still the best car I've owned.

Thanks. I am going to do it although I have been burned with Carfax. Bought a vehicle with a “clean” carfax only to learn it had been in an accident.

Since it might have gone off road, I would inspect the battery case under the truck and under the front bumper to make sure there isn't any visible damage. Even if there is some visible damage, it might not be serious. Still worth checking, IMO.

I took my R1T into the snow and hit some ice. I didn't realize it at the time, but the lower front facia was damaged. It cost $1,100 to fix. It was a ton of fun playing in the snow, but I would not do it again. The damage was not obvious except for one of the air dam things that are in front of the wheels. I thought that would be a $100 repair. Silly man.
