I'm an EV driver since 2022 (My wife's Model 3) but I wasn't into Teslas... I'm a car guy, I love my Manual Transmission HotHatch and I try to drive fast cars as daily drivers, slow cars aren't fun for me :) So, when the opportunity came to own a Gen1 QuadMotor Large Battery R1T with 4800 miles...

So, bought my truck when it was 4800 miles. I've done a reset on one trip (which I use to track efficiency and so on) but left the otherone untouched. I checked back now that I'm at 6k miles (1.2k miles in a month daily driving it, loving every second!) and....

Hi y'all!
Newbie here. Bought a used R1T with 5000mi a few weeks back and worked with Rivian for the ownership transfer which was completed Monday this week. That meant I could finally get OTA updates.
