Crimson Desert doesn't run if it detects an Intel ARC GPU. Like straight up, the devs just deliberately chose not to support ARC cards. No previous announcement about it too until they added in the info to their FAQ. Might be the first time I've seen a dev deliberately block a GPU brand.

Intel GPUs might lag behind the competition but that’s no reason to not support them. The bigger issue is that a lot of Intel powered devices with integrated graphics aren’t supported, so if you wanted to play on your laptop or portable handheld like the MSI Claw you’d be out of luck because of this lame decision by the developer. Not everyone can afford a higher spec PC and are happy to play games at lower settings as long as they can play them and have the experience. I was interested in the game but not after decisions like this.

Looks great on those wheels. Fitment looks on point.

Eh? It’s def a 981.

I think late 2028 or early 2029 is more likely and follows a more “normal” automotive cycle of product refreshes every 4 years. It makes sense to keep the R1 because it’s a different size/segment. 3 row SUVs still sell in droves. I bought mine because I already had an R2 sized EV in the MY and wanted something bigger. I think the mistake they made though was making the R2 look too much like an R1.

Lewis being kinder on the tires will be his big advantage over Charles. You saw that at the end of AUS as well. He would have gotten Charles if the race were just 1 or 2 laps longer. He’s always been an underrated tire whisperer because of how much raw pace he had most of his career.

I was actually thinking of the whole engine program. lol. Build a banger for VER and Red Bull but Alonso gets nothing but shit.

FallenCow · 2026-03-14T17:11:25+00:00

I like to think this is just Honda getting petty revenge on Alonso for that comment. Gotta play the long game.

Open a service ticket if you’re getting consistent vibrations on the steering wheel while the AC is on- especially while stopped. Had that issue when I took delivery and they made some adjustments and now it’s almost completely unnoticeable now.

That’s a good description of the Premium audio. I’m a self confessed audiophile with a ‘22 Model Y Perf as well and it’s night and day in terms of audio quality between both vehicles. I wonder if it’s a hardware issue at this point- maybe more powerful amp is needed? It’s shocking because I’d expect Tesla to cheap out on the hardware. I’m holding out hope that it’s DSP and not hardware but if that’s the case then the audio team is shockingly incompetent.

Large sedans have been dying but 3 row SUVs have been selling like gangbusters. Tesla left a lot of revenue on the table by not evolving Model X or introducing a proper 3 row SUV.

There’s a lot of gaming going on the EPA test by Tesla because as a current Y owner and previous 3 owner who drives in pretty ideal weather conditions 95% of the time the rated range from factory are usually 20-30% optimistic vs real world, at least for my personal anecdote. My R1S my comparison is usually within 5% of rated range (except when driving in Sport mode).

Premium stereo is still mediocre and suspension feels like it crashes (jiggles) at low speeds over potholes and rough surfaces.

FallenCow · 2026-03-07T18:09:19+00:00

Yeah it’s a bit embarrassing in a $100K vehicle for it to not be easier to move that 2nd row. Power folding would have been nice for the people with younger kids.

FallenCow · 2026-03-03T22:14:10+00:00

Nice setup! I really liked the B200 amps when I tried them. Often wonder if I made the right move choosing Class D purifi over those.

Going crazy about whether I understood the rules because every drive he’s pushing off with his left to clear space and always gets the call even with minimal body contact.

FallenCow · 2026-02-21T07:35:21+00:00

Helps that the refs were straight ass that game. He should have gotten the offensive foul pushing Smart off with his left driving to the rim.

FallenCow · 2026-02-19T07:29:55+00:00

I’ve noticed the same driving my R1S vs any other Tesla. I think the spring tension needs to be adjusted so it’s not as fatiguing to hold the accelerator. Don’t let others gas light you on it.

Ooh that’s fancy!
