I received my new OE drawer last night and installed it today on my Gen1 R1T. Despite what the website says, it indeed works with Gen1 and locks properly. The action is smooth and feels beefy. I was a little surprised that there’s so much of a gap between the front trim piece and the bottom of the opening but it doesn’t bother me. Just note that there’s the potential for things to come out under heavy braking.

I have the BestEVmod center console organizer and use it for my large metal water bottles, which don’t fit in the stock cupholders. It does limit the opening of the drawer but not enough to make it inconvenient.

Overall a nice accessory.

Really hate that you cant access it while you are driving, kind of makes it useless.

I just tried it - not the safest if you have T-Rex arms like me but it’s possible. It’s on rails so it stays permanently locked in the UI.

If I read this correctly the drawer does not lock the track mechanism does so it can open while locked.

this is good to know. Agree the aftermarket versions that are not accessible without going to the screen to unlock are not very functional, but this is great that it fits with the gen 1. i wonder why they do not advertise that.

On the camp speaker front, anyone still have the state of camp speaker charge showing up on the main display? It used to be a thing, but haven't seen it in ages, and on top of that my camp speaker refuses to charge while docked despite fully charging it prior to docking it.

Nope. And mine doesn't charge either when docked. Every time I pull it out to use it, it's dead. So I have stopped using it.

What? You can open it while driving.

The "lock" in the menus allows you to pull the whole drawer and track out. The drawer opens just fine while driving. I use mine all the time while driving.

Ah not the EVbase one since there is no track.

Totally confused now…in what sense does it “lock” if you can still open it whether it’s locked or unlocked?

It locks the rails so the drawer module can't be removed, the drawer can still be opened though. If it is unlocked, the entire drawer and rails come out, allowing the camp speaker or other accessory to be installed in it's place.
