As a bald guy who lives in a very sunny part of the country, I'm keenly aware of sunshine hitting the top of my head and I try to limit it whenever possible.
I'd love to see some actual data/metrics on the levels of UVA/B/C that are blocked by this roof. The manual mentions 99.9% of UV but...
I found it interesting that the R2 does not have knee airbags. They should have kept those given they’re included in the R1 line.
I get cost saving arguments but why compromise on safety gear?
I’ve finally decided to join the club. Tesla Universal Wall Connector hardwired to a 60amp breaker.

I hadn’t thought of thermal issues but where I’m at in Oregon, we get fairly hot summers (90°-100°+ regularly) and with a southern facing garage, it gets quite...

The only reason I'd want 48a capability is to future proof our solution as the...

For context, I'm a 2nd day reservation holder so I'm hoping my number won't come up until late in 2026 as I won't purchase until Lidar/Gen3 hardware is launched on the R2. I'd love to start the process but I...
