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.
