First 24 Hours with R2 - impressions, positives, nits

My only minor nitpick about the charging port flap was I wish it would lock when the vehicle locked.

Yeah it is true is doesn’t lock. I read that the actual charging handle locks when the car is locked. Is there a reason why locking the door is useful? We’ve had a bmw i3 since 2014 and it doesn’t lock either so I guess we are used to that and haven’t had any issues.

I mean, you don't want a ne'er do well to come by with a hose and siphon off your charge or, even worse, put sugar in your battery.

no good reason. Just habitual. With gas tanks in certain neighborhoods, vandalizing gas was a thing. Never been an issue for me but it’s kinda welded in my head it should lock.

ok - relieved I am not missing some important security risk.

Thanks for the great information. I personally would love to see some of the photos as I’m on the fence between the 20’s and 21’s with Half Moon and may help me to see some more photos in the real world.
