Took delivery of the R2 on Friday and could not be more excited. The R2 is awesome!
I absolutely love the way it drives. The ride is very smooth and it handles very nicely. The power and acceleration is legit and fun!
Love the interior and it is spacious. Getting used to the halo haptic wheels doesn’t take too long. They feel a little stiff, especially when pushing left or right but I think that can/will get dialed in with future software updates.
I have a few very minor nitpicks:
- The turn signal is loud, even though they apparently turned the volume down in the latest software update.
- I also don’t like the way the turn signal doesn’t really “lock in” to place and there’s no feeling to let you know if you’ve activated it fully or just engaged it to flash twice and quit.
- The lack of CarPlay is an adjustment. Obviously, I knew this going in, but this is the first vehicle I’ve had without it basically since it was introduced. Not a deal breaker by any means and I may even come to prefer not having it.
I can’t / won’t comment on efficiency yet because 1) way too small sample size and 2) I’ve been having fun with it. Plenty of full send moments going 0 to 50 or 60 or 70. Having fun testing the 60 to 80 passing on the highway. So yeah, I haven’t been trying to be efficient.
Oddly, my key fob didn’t come with the vehicle at delivery. They will be delivering it to me in about a week.
I tried autonomy+ a bit and it worked really nicely, including the lane changes. Although, the lane changes worked flawlessly during the day, but at night when I tried it again, nothing happened. Not sure if it had to do with it being night time, or just the stretch of highway I was on.m
I added a few photos, including my 11 year old daughter fitting in the frunk! The others are from this morning when I took a hike out near Red Rock Canyon here in Vegas.
I’ll be dropping it off soon to get the windows tinted, PPF on the full front and ceramic coating on the entire exterior.
I can’t wait for our first road trip in this thing.
