*** Will flexible magnetic signs adhere firmly to the front outside door panels (of a Gen 2 R1S)? *** In other words, is the sheet metal used to form the exterior doors magnetic (e.g., a steel or other ferrous compound)? Update: Answer Appears to Be NO. If the door panels are aluminum, then...

Just thought I'd share a few of my thoughts since many of you are coming from a Tesla too. This is in no particular order and I know this can be a little picky but you should know. Current proximity locking sensor is wild. Unlocks and locks about 30-40 ft away. It's almost too strong. I dont...

Vehicle: 2022 Gen 1 R1T Quad Motor - Large Pack Tire: Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLT 275/65/R20 (LT) I replaced my OEM Pirelli ATs with the Cooper Discoverer AT3 XLTs a couple of months ago. The Pirellis had 18,000 miles and had started to get pretty noisy. The fronts were down to 6/32 and I wanted...

10xxx VIN picked up in Denver a couple weeks ago. 20" All-Terrains, quad motor. I will say up front that I think the R1S is without doubt the awesomest car ever made, and I am still in shock that I own one and really excited for future adventures with it. That said, I won't hold back on...

Over the past several weeks I've had the opportunity to take our R1S on a number of 'adventures' on some pretty rough back roads here in Washington State so I figured I would share a short review of my experiences. I'd estimate about 100-150 miles or so of driving in what most people would...
