It locks the rails so the drawer module can't be removed, the drawer can still be opened though. If it is unlocked, the entire drawer and rails come out, allowing the camp speaker or other accessory to be installed in it's place.

Curious how the suspension held up after those ~140 miles, the bump stops sure got a workout.

I see similar behavior when it tries to kneel on any type of incline. Earlier updates it wouldn't even attempt to kneel in my driveway, now it tries but ends up uneven and just seems to drop one side a little. This has the fun side effect of it shifting around for a while during the first...

I wish the EPA ratings were communicated more clearly. The EPA range is a combined rating of city+highway test cycles. EV's are very efficient at converting energy into motion, so at low speeds where aerodynamic drag is minimal, most of the energy goes it to motion. At high speeds...

You hit the nail on the head. For normal driving, the rate of distance added is the only metric that matters. If you have two vehicles that can replenish 150 miles of range in 15 minutes, one only charges at 30kW the other at 300kW, they both get you there in the same time, one is just...

Appreciate the videos. That has been my experience as well, some wheel slip on the unloaded wheel but then the brakes progressively grab more until the vehicle starts moving or the opposite wheel also slips. I wonder if there isn't enough torque available or more than the system can transfer...

I've had a few strange issues when the vehicle first wakes up. Holding the left steering wheel button + hazards does a full reboot and has cleared them each time. Luckily the issues seem to be getting squashed one by one each update, so less frequent in the past months.

If you look at the situation where the left rear wheel is on the ground with the majority of traction and the right rear is in the air with no traction, applying full braking to the right rear would cause 100% of the motor torque to be seen at the left rear wheel. Only when the brake is...

Edmunds just released their video comparing a Gen2 dual motor R1T to a Tacoma TRD Pro. Was surprising to see how poorly the brake torque vectoring was performing on the R1T, causing it to be unable to climb several obstacles. At 15:45 you can see the unloaded wheels spinning up quite quickly...

Forcing fresh air can require substantially more energy versus recirculation. Think of a situation where the cabin is up to temperature. In that case you are taking something more like 65F air and warming it to 80F coming out of the vent, so a delta of 25F, just dealing with the heat loss in...

From what I have experienced, lane keeping is a bit smoother and better at keeping centered around corners on the interstate. You can activate the turn sign to initiate the automatic lane change, but no autonomy around the lane change decision, only driver initiated.

Strange that it gets more noticeable in firm mode. There should be less movement over large bumps in firm, while soft will allow more movement of the wheels for a given bump. What happens when in All-Terrain mode and soft ride feel with the ride height in standard/high?

My Gen2 does seem to be quite sensitive to any voltage fluctuations (I had a dehumidifier running at the time of the screenshot and can see each time the compressor cycled in the charge rate graph as a ~1 minute dip), but generally stays between 9.5-10.4kW on my 48amp EVSE.

Has your fast charging performance changed after the most recent 2024.47.30 update? I saw the line in the release notes but won't have an opportunity anytime soon to see if there are any noticeable changes.

Was interesting to hear RJ comment on the squeaking noise from the Gen 1 suspensions being resolved by adding a reservoir into the system and that it was due to fluid moving through the lines. Guess that explains the fix with new lines that has been reported by some Gen 1 owners. Also...

From what I have been told from service, this is drivers side only. I reached out to them when I noticed it did not work on the passenger side with my vehicle shortly after delivery.

I wish I could since, like you mentioned, most other things are. Sadly not all states allow it, even if mine did, driving out of state could be an issue, so I keep the paper copies to stay in compliance.

That is a bummer, with the lack of glove box and the center console drawer being open at the top, allowing items to fly out, the seat cubbies are the only real good option to store the legally required registration and insurance information in a reasonably accessible location aside from the...

Is the temperature monitoring only on the internals of the unit, or does each adapter also have temperature monitoring on the NEMA plug?

Yeah, exactly. Automatic transmissions in ICE vehicles had clutches that needed to apply and would slip excessively if shifting while moving, but single speed drives like most EVs won't be bothered shifting at low speed. The force seen shifting from reverse to drive at 4MPH is nothing compared...
