Anyone else think that not only did 2023.18 restore the sport mode acceleration, but it seems even crazier? I took the truck out for a drive this morning, and it felt almost twitchy compared to a couple versions ago when they smoothed out the sport-mode pedal response.
At any rate, it was quite...
That's exciting! That moves our closest service center from 300 miles originally, to 220 miles, to 100 miles now!
It's still pretty far, but at least we can make the round trip in a day easily now. On a single charge, too!
Yes, but it's not easy. It requires removing:
The back panel (to access the side panels)
The side panels
The plastic caps over each side
And these are held on with dozens of horrible, easy-to-break clips and adhesives
Detaching the rails (I believe, mine were off when he removed the caps)...
One of the few other in-between options is SketchUp, which has it's own issues (especially with precise design), but can handle a bit more complexity than Tinkercad.
I haven't used it much, but there's also FreeCAD, which at least is free (Autodesk makes using Fusion360 as a hobbiest an...
Good question, I didn't explain this well. The final slat is almost completely inside the tonneau storage box, with just the rubber weather stripping sticking out. I thought this was very smart of the tech, because it has several benefits:
The bed is almost completely open (save for about 1/2"...
My tonneau recently broke for the second time. This time they just disabled it. While the tech worked on it, I had them remove the stops that prevent the tonneau from coming out, so I could figure out something temporary for a trip we have coming up soon.
When they "fixed" the tonneau this...
I got a 10 pack of 100mm grommets from eBay at this store. You can also order them via Amazon (same company), but they come direct from China either way. eBay was slightly cheaper for me.
But in case you didn't catch what I wrote, they won't work to plug the holes after the running boards are...
It's probably most useful for clandestine operations. You can be sitting in the cafe, drinking your espresso, and when you get the text "The owl hoots nightly", pop open the gear tunnel.
Wait a few more minutes, and drive away. The feds will never know what's hidden inside your gear tunnel...
That's fine, but they make the running boards for the R1S as well. They have photos of it installed on R1S's if you go to the EV1/EVSportline page.
The difference is negligible for the part you use on the vehicle—the wheelbase is 14" shorter, but none of that has a meaningful effect on where...
There's several on this forum, but I installed the EV1 running boards on our R1T and really like them.
My writeup of the install process with photos is here.

Type in the code, like follows:

The / is for between words, which are separated in the image by a solid line.
Have some fun in life, be surprised by your own efforts!
Is it just me, or is there a typo in the morse code that leads to `…usus` where it shouldn't be? I see ••– ••• ••— ••• on two lines that shouldn't be twice.
That's interesting. I see it, too.
Part of me was hoping for a soft, roll-up tonneau, because the racks on my tonneau slats got pretty chewed up the last time it jammed. I have a stack of slats sitting in my garage, and they do not look like they'll ever work quite right again.
That being...
They came to my house to try to repair my broken tonneau (stuck trying to open, second time it happened even though it was "fixed" last time). This time I had them just disable it in the software.
It took 2-3 hours for him to try to fix it, then tear the bed apart, remove the jammed tonneau...
Wow, I thought they would have fixed this bug by now.
This happened to me last fall. When the communications module fails (which it has if cellular is broken), the truck attempts to send a report just before rebooting. When that fails, it doesn't reboot. I had to wait about 1.5 months to get...
Correct. While Li-ion batteries are "happiest" if they can stay close to 50%, keeping regular use between 20-90% is more than good enough for long-term battery health.
I like using 70% as my every day charge limit. I generally plug it in every night, even if it's only down a little bit, because...
Sometimes the 12V repair is enough, but it depends on the issue. When mine died, there was also a bug in the software that I couldn't trigger a vehicle reboot. They ended up performing the 12V reset, and my module has been fine since (it's been about 6 months).
At the same time, if I had been...
I don't use easy exit, but my wife does. Every so often, the truck will get stuck in the easy exit position when I get in. It says my profile, but doesn't move to the right place.
Sometimes it adjusts after I put my foot on the brake (I think, it's only done this twice or so), but usually I...
