You can't drive the trucks in Venice and they only have 2 of them. I was there on the first day.

No reason to make excuses for them. They could easily come up with a new drive plan. It's not that hard. I guarantee anyone who was going out to drive the truck would still go even if the off road section was closed.
I live near the event and with all the heavy rain we had in the area ,it could have been difficult to get there with road closures. Very rural area.. just sayin.

Agua Dolce Airpark? Itā€™s right off the 14 freeway. We film out there all the time. Never had a problem getting lots of people and equipment out there.

Did some of the roads collapse or something?

Don't know. Just an observation as to possible reason.

Random question but could anyone that has experience with the R1T in person speak to the carpeting material? I've never owned a premium vehicle (Ford, Honda, Subaru only) and always wished the carpeting was better quality. Will my R1T be about the same, marginally better, or far better? Thanks in advance I doubt I will get to see one in person before it shows up in my driveway.
They call it Chilewich? Whatever that means

They brought one of the truck to my house today. Got to take a nice long drive on the freeway and around my neighborhood. It was way better than the event drive would have been. I got to test everything I wanted to test.

The UI was very snappy and I didn't experience any lag. Everything worked well on the truck.

Can confirm the camera resolution is poor. Not a deal breaker, but definitely a bummer.

After seeing the blue in person again, I'm definitely considering it. It's a really great color.

How was it on the freeway and neighborhood driving? Living in SoCal means a lot of freeway driving, not so much off-road.

great on the freeway. As fast (or faster) as my tesla. They have clearly engineered the feeling of lightness in to a very heavy vehicle. Itā€™s also got a lot of different modes and then 3-4 settings within each one. So you can dial it in to your Liking.

the only thing I was a little surprised by was how heavy the regen is in standard mode. Itā€™s much heavier than a Tesla and thereā€™s even a heavier setting. I wouldnā€™t be surprised if they add a lighter setting at some point.

Quick speed and great regen are a perfect combo. Love ā€™em both. ICE generally has neither.

That really is a bummer. A good camera, like good cup holders really elevate the ease of use. Likewise the reverse of that could make the truck feel incomplete and a bit of a letdown once the newness wears off.

Hopefully the hardware for the camera is just being held back by software and not an issue with the quality of the camera itself.
