The assumption is all R3Xs we've seen are pre-production/prototypes. A lot of things can change prior to going to market.

Ah, just saw your post about your wheels. I'd recommend keeping your 22s. I have a spare set of 20" wheels with aggressive Mickey Thompson Baja boss for off roading fun. But my normal day to day is 22" which (I believe) look better and since that's 99% of my driving, why not keep it. I get...

Great price, good luck with sale. Where in OC are you?

I think this is the one I used on both my Hondas and Tesla in the past. After that, you can use any amplifier. I used a Rockford Fosgate and crossovers when they ultimately went to the individual speakers...

I've been out of the car audio game for many years, but before I stopped working on that stuff, car infotainment systems were already starting to become very integrated. Removing the radio/screen or tapping into anything would seriously screw up something else, or make it not function entirely...

Sure, but I can almost guarantee you, Chevy is still getting a ton of telemetry from your vehicle. You may be preventing some general user convenience features like Spotify or delaying some sort of update. Now I don't have experience in Chevy specifically, but I know other manufacturers...

I didn’t read every post in the thread, but I wanted to chime in since I work in cybersecurity and IT infrastructure, and have for 25+ years. My previous role was specifically focused on vehicle cybersecurity. One thing that’s important to understand is that every (all I think?) modern vehicle...

Oops, didn't realize you weren't the original poster either. :p Didn't like the 22" Michelins? How come? I have them, and they're average tires. No complaints. I don't think you have to be limited by Costco. Do you have America's Tire or Discount Tire (same company, called different things...

What's wrong with "boring pavement donuts" if that's what you need? If he wants something that looks cool, then come right out and say it. Pick up some Geolanders or Baja Bosses. Crap efficiency but if you aren't routinely pulling 250+ mile days, who cares. :p I have the 22" variants of the...

What's your end goal? You say you don't need a true AT, but you want something that looks aggressive? I would caution that if you're not looking for an AT tire, I'd stay away from things like "look aggressive". Personal option, I don't think those look aggressive at all. Remember you can...

A little negativity in here with words like “shortsighted” and “stubborn” being thrown around. Some people just like what they like, and that’s okay. Most people aren’t enthusiasts, and most aren’t looking to learn or adapt to something new. A lot of my friends have been driving the same type...

It has been maybe 1,000 miles since I had my Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/Ts on and they did a wonderful job on the sand dunes. This past weekend, I swapped back to my OEM 22s. This isn't a review on them, but just an observation on how much of a diameter difference the OEM 22" is vs. a 20"...

I did it side to side, inadvertently. I wanted to try leveling for the first time, and didn't realize how long it takes for it to return to "normal" height. Leveled it with one side on a curb. :P And it stayed like this for a couple of minutes before returning to normal. Don't plan...

Reading your post, I'm not sure you need an AT at all. Your gravel/dirt roads don't need an all terrain tire. A normal road tire is fine. It seems 99% of your driving is going to be on pavement, so I'd suggest a more road worthy tire.

Unpopular comment: The 22" tire (on an R1) is far from a low profile IMO. While it is mathematically lower than the 20", it is plenty fat compared to true low profile tires which are often 35 series or less. If your preference is comfort or aesthetics, sure, get what you want. But pointing...
