We took delivery of one truck in early/mid July, and another one in early August. Both are leased 2024 R1Ts that didn’t come with Tonneau covers installed in the factory. These are our third and fourth R1Ts—the first two being 2022s (a launch truck and a Demo), which came with Gen 1 Tonneau...

This rings true for me as well (though in my case, I have Nokian Outpost nAT LTs in a 275/65, also E-load rated). They ride and handle better in every way so far—softer/more compliant feeling, WAYYY quieter (nearly silent at most speeds), better grip in mud, wet, snow, and no noticeable decrease...

They heat up like this when your pack is cold to dump heat into it so that it can charge quicker. You’ll notice the motors come down in temp a few minutes into DCFC in cool temps. This happens once the pack is up to a more ideal temp.

Engine braking in low traction is definitely a skill, but in my experience, unless you’re really in the wrong gear (too low), it’s mostly the moment you downshift (and how smoothly you do so) where traction loss can occur as the engine speed equalizes with the wheel speed through the...

As a driver of several manual cars on the hilly VT winter roads I learned on growing up, I’ll have to respectfully disagree—sure, you can induce traction loss by downshifting if you quickly engage the clutch without rev matching/double clutching to match your transmission and engine to wheel...

Yes! But please consider a waterproof/resistant top that can quickly be clipped/zipped on/off the whole thing since the tonneau covers let in water most by the tailgate.

Those are good points—especially considering that most of my experience was with prematurely-worn Pirelli ATs (due to a very off alignment) that already had 10k miles on them. I did drive my father’s launch R1T on 20” ATs for a few months in 2022, and then again for some drives during that...

I only have about 3k miles on mine, since my truck was in the SC for several weeks shortly after I got them. Mostly, I love these tires, and find they perform better than the Pirellis in every way except efficiency. They are much quieter and smoother feeling than my Pirellis ever were (mine had...

I’m also curious. I was debating these or the Nokian Outpost nAT for a while. I finally bit the bullet on the nAT since they were $200 less per corner than the Toyos I was finding at the time (275/65R20 LT). While I love how the Nokian’s perform so far, I have been experiencing pretty awful...

As someone who bought a demo R1T (our second after a launch R1T in 2022) and leased 2 more R1Ts for our business, I was amazed at how hard I had to work to get those sales/leases done! I told everyone I could that if shouldn’t be this difficult to take our money—they really need to ground-up...

Connect+ subscriber, got my update about an hour ago. Almost done downloading… just in time for my truck to go in for some warranty things tomorrow ?

Look closely: that’s a 2nd gen Tundra access cab (or whatever they called the one with the handle cutout/indent in the C pillar). Crazy video, though. I’d be really interested to see how glass roof vehicles fair in that test.

Yes. It's just bolted through a hole in the bracket. I'll take a photo tomorrow when I'm in my truck. I thought it was metal, but I found out it is plastic when I snapped the plastic stud that threads into the ball (the bracket is aluminum). I think I bought an M4 bolt? I can't remember. I had...

Couldn't you just buy a 20mm ball such as this or this? My 3D modeling skills are pretty limited at the moment... I'm not sure I could make such a thing, but perhaps someone could. I am muddling through onshape and wishing it was Sketchup (which I'm more fluent in). I use it too infrequently to...

I believe they took them off the website, but you can email them to get a set. Allegedly ??

Yeah. It’s not so much that it has a light, it’s just that the light is blinding at night (combination of being too bright and blue, which for me anyway, is much more distracting in my peripheral vision than red/orange color palettes). it’s minor, but now that we have color ambient choices, it’s...

Why didn’t I think of this?! I am indeed, one such person (with a 3D printer) ??‍♂️ I’ll get on that later tonight.

I should also add: this is the strongest magnet I’ve used of any MagSafe mounting puck, and feels very high quality. I just wish you could turn the light off. Who needs/wants charging specs and “MADE IN CHINA” all lit up??

I just wish the light wasn’t so bright. I’ve been meaning to bring it to a tint shop to have the light ring blacked out (or maybe a tint film applied) and to get the phone puck wrapped in matte black (the shiny surface bugs me, and got pretty scratched up in a few days. Also, the ball is...
