I'm not 100% sure of the details on this, but I like it. I do have kids, so that might influence my feelings, but the idea that if we haven't put the car in a state that would suggest we're ready to get out ("in park") then we have to pull it twice as a, "yes, we really know it's safe to get...
I want them to put a sophomore programmer co-op on this for half a day. Come up with 3 alternate layout options for the drivers screen. It would be trivial for them to do.
There is plenty of real estate on that screen that I can see, yet I have to make the choice between comfortable driving...
We're a year and 17,000 miles in and love it. We live 4 hours from our closest service center. Our other car is a Model Y with ~75,000 miles on it (which we also love).
Only problem we've had was after 8 months of ownership the rear liftgate started catching as it opened, making a nasty...
I should note that possibly my single biggest irritant with our R1S (which we love) is that if I have the steering wheel in a place that it's comfortable (and, thus, safer), then I can't see the speedometer.
My old Honda Odyssey had the same problem, but not much Honda could do about that...
Presumably that's leaving a hint there to remind you that you can drag the music player back out if you want. In general, hidden interface actions ("allow sliding from right but don't show anything telling user that you can do it") don't work as well / get used as often as when there is an...
With one or two exceptions, navigation has worked well for me. Alexa is hit and miss but generally fine and for the tasks I know it will work with it's really handy. Most often for me that means turning on steering wheel heater or dimming screen display.
We live in Winston-Salem and picked up in Richmond. We had one service experience (just to get the spare installed) and mobile service came to our house. Was a piece of cake, though if something big breaks I suspect it'll be a pain.
That said, everything perfect so far (roughly 7,000 miles)...
I haven't noticed a problem before but will take a look next time I head out. Consistency and reliability are a big deal. That is, if I'm going to trust a feature, it needs to always work.
I've never looked closely enough to know. I quite like my steering wheel... though possibly I should make sure not to look too closely so I can keep my satisfaction intact.
I can not hear the blinker when driving at highway speeds.
My steering wheel blocks much of my display, which is frustrating since offering me a different drivers screen layout is a trivial job given the beauty of a software based screen.
So... yes.
From looking at the pictures, if you don't have a dremel then a hacksaw is your friend... or cover the bottom bump you're cutting off with peanut butter and leave it in the back yard for the squirrels to remove for you.
I think it looks great. Then again, we've been hoping for an ID.Buzz(z?) for years so you can tell our priorities. Before our Model Y, our Honda Odyssey was far and away the best car I've ever owned. Loved it.
I've said if they made an electric Odyssey I'd buy it immediately. Gravity...
We've had our R1S for about 6 weeks now (about 2k miles) and have had no problems. Heck, the much maligned phone charger even works for all of us...
Hoping we get our EVSportline running boards soon-ish (semi-competitor pun not intended) so my wife can actually get into her new car :-)
I actually dislike the turn signal sound when I can hear it. So, sitting at a light or something. It's only a highway speed that I can't hear it and will occasionally forget to turn it off after changing lanes. So I suppose I dislike it both at low and high speeds, just each for different...
1) Similar to the "Customization of driver screen" note, but if I put the steering wheel where I want it then I can't see the speedometer or the icons across the top of the drivers screen. Would really, really like to be able to shift that information elsewhere on the driver screen or move it...
"Colorado Springs" - without the Zebulon note that sounds impressively close to my joke about someone referring to Wyoming as "close" :-)
I'll let you know if things don't work out.
