Becuase they are going to get a ton of questions (but will be having too much in their new truck).
Anyways, I would have thought someone here might have got their R1T and will become very popular.

I feel like a majority of questions have been answered by a lot of the press videos from today. For me at least, the only thing I'm wondering about is real world range and real world fast dc charging numbers. A few articles talked about the dc charging, but I'd like to see it from someone with a production vehicle.

I feel like we are in the phase where they test it on friends and employees who are more forgiving. Are the service centers even open and ready?

I've reached a happy nirvana of not really needing to know anything else to be 110% sold. Sadly, I still have not received a guide contact. Thanksgiving is coming soon though, so every day the likelihood increases! Still hoping to have my LE in the driveway by Christmas, but more realistically expecting next spring. Can. Not. Wait.

Are you getting yours tomorrow?
No, I am an R1S reservation holder.

I would interpret mañana in a more common usage as opposed to literally. If you ask me the question again tomorrow, the answer will still be mañana.

Yes. Bellevue is sitting there twiddling it's thumbs.

Don’t shoot the messenger, but I think they’re still working out a lot of small kinks, and are therefore delaying deliveries to non-employees. If you read/watch the reviews that came out yesterday there was a large number of problems with the trucks. Just a few that I remember seeing:
-Power tonneau broken on all but one truck
-Very jittery cameras
-problem with window foam preventing the window from properly rolling up
-tailgate not dropping automatically
-regen causing overheating even on mild grades
-some windshield wipers having a mind of their own
-multiple reports of problems with Driver+
-laggy navigation/maps
-a few others I don’t remember off the top of my head


None of this to take away from the generally amazing success of the reviews, but I feel like there are quite a few fixes that might still need to be corrected before these get out in the real public.

Yes, I know the trucks from the reviews were pre-prod. And yes, I know OTA updates can potentially be used to fix the non-mechanical issues.
