R2
Seems like a handful of serious R2 issues are being amplified because they're being posted and cross-posted on various websites. So this morning I tried to compile them into a single spreadsheet and only found seven that I'd consider critical problems that affect driveability.

Lemme know if I missed any and I'll add them.

I'm not trying to be nosy and track people's problems, but I do think it'll put people at ease if these issues turn out to be a tiny drop in the overall delivery bucket. TBH I was getting a little nervous about my upcoming order, but this makes it look mostly overblown (unless you're one of the poor guys who got stuck with a lemon).

What the heck??? They can't align a charge port door? How does that pass QC?
Yikes! Godspeed to the brave souls who took a chance on Gen 1 R2. You are doing Gods work.

Thanks for tracking this, I agree on the couple of issues being amplified in multiple places. The only other one I recall is the paint mismatch issue, but that was caught before delivery, and I'm not sure how much sense it makes to track issues before the car is even in a customer's hands.
Yeah, I thought about that one, but I was really just looking for things that I'd consider impediments to being able to drive the car. Like stuff that could get you stranded.

I know your Reddit post focused a lot on the subwoofer, but I'm mostly concerned about the screen glitching. Did you know there's already an aftermarket subwoofer in the works for the R2? It's not online yet, but he's got a prototype so it's coming soon. https://soonishev.com/
