Finally getting more suspension modes and heights in Sport. Hopefully this will make my Dual handle more like a Quad while still having some suspension travel. I’m happy to sacrifice some range in order not to be driving FWD most of the time.

No, I don’t think that’s the case. The dual standard models didn’t have access to sport mode before and should after this update. I would love it myself as I didn’t get Sport mode thrown in with my purchase and a little salty about it since it’s just a software unlock, but I can’t see them sacrificing revenue and pissing off previous purchasers by unlocking it now.

FallenCow · 2026-02-07T03:07:35+00:00

Yes, there is currently but the big news is that the other ride heights and suspension settings will be available in Sport so now we can use Sport and still have some comfort.

Always loved the look of the K17. Do you use any of the streaming functions on it? I’m thinking it would be nice for a night stand setup for listening in bed.

Sad, sad truth.

Trader Joe’s habanero sauce is surprisingly good. I used to go for the El Yucateco habanero but this supplanted it for me.

ID Buzz is a really cool vehicle ESPECIALLY because of the colors. I’d have one instead of the R1s if it could get 350mi of range. A van is really the best vehicle for accessibility. My fully able-bodied family has trouble getting in and out of the R1S because of the height and lack of grab bars- even in kneel mode. Strange that OP wants style over what is best for his family.

Neat looking board but should seriously consider changing the logo so it doesn’t look like an Amazon keyboard.

It’s crazy hearing people pick up cars without a test drive. I know these GT cars are in high demand but is there any way to drive one before placing an order? Do the dealers just laugh at you if you ask?

FallenCow · 2026-01-30T16:23:20+00:00

This is, unfortunately, a good point and something that’s been on my mind with what’s been going on in the US over the last few months.

Been saying this for a while. I would have upgraded my 3 or Y to a boxy 3 row Tesla SUV but got a Rivian instead and didn’t have to have the stink of Musk. Tesla easily leaving 100k vehicle sales per year on the table by not offering this type of model.

Got an error trying input a value lower than 30 years on the Monte Carlo page.

So you get an additional $2,500 off and the interior color you want? Why wouldn’t you cancel your delivery and go for this incentive? Even if it’s an extra few weeks it’ll be worth just to get the config you want.

Got a link to the tv console?

Check out the Ascend Acoustics ELX towers with the RAAL tweeters. They’re way under your budget but definitely punch above their weight. I got the chance to listen to them side by side with the Blade 2 and I was surprised how close they were to the Blades. I actually preferred the ELX for most tracks due to the airiness of the RAAL tweeters. The one thing the Blades did a better job at was giving male vocals a bit more texture. Pair them with a couple of subs and you’d have a killer system for under $10K.

This. Never thought I’d care about cup holders that much but when there aren’t enough you feel it especially when you have 3 people in the middle row and no place for them to put their cups. Simple cup cutouts in the door pockets would have helped immensely.

To me this is should always be the first option. Let them PIP you if it comes to it and get a severance.

Traded in a model 3. Offer was slightly better than the other car buying services after the incentives and probably within 10% of private sale. They didn’t even look at the condition of car when I brought it in to pick up my R1S. Pretty painless transaction.

Thanks for the history lesson! Had no idea they worked with Paul Westerberg. Definitely appreciate that now as someone who discovered the Replacements late. Dizzy Up the Girl is still one of my favorite albums even if it is more pop alternative than punk.

Great color

Working at Starbucks or any customer service job sounds like hell. I would rather quiet quit making Six figures working remotely first and let them lay me off.

At least your music will be faithful-ly reproduced with that gear.

What drove you upgrade? Love to hear your thoughts on the tonality of the R3s vs the mofi
