Gen2 R1S Driving Impressions…

[R1Tom]

At 130mph…I heard some wind noise from the windshield and side mirror area…but not bothersome. At around 70-80, it’s so much more silent compared to gen1. A bit of wind noise, but that’s expected with the shape. However, it’s very quiet.

This is where I get a bit confused and have to believe many G1 have more noise than they should. My G1 is easily the quietest vehicle I have ever owned at 70-80. It is like a bank vault. Legit. So I don't know how it could be so much more silent.

My tires make noise....but that is the only noise making it thru to cabin really at 70-80.

I am certainly not saying you are wrong....just that whatever you are comparing it to....does not match my G1 as I would describe it. And I speculate whatever that G1 was....was a noisy one.

The wind noise is 100% build quality issue. You just got one built to spec. Hopefully the Gen 2 vehicles just have the process locked down.

Are the tires on the 22 different?

I wonder how many of these will make it to gen 1 in the update. It feels like some of the throttle response, regen whiplash, and ride feel could be smoothed out with software
