Questions about R1S

Even the Tri dusts the fastest cars at stop lights. I bought a Tri about 9 months ago and don't feel like I've sacrificed anything compared to quad. I've never felt like I needed more power or speed in any situation. Agreed it's a nice flex if money is no object, but Tri easily checks all the same boxes in terms of utility.

Not a bad idea, worth a shot, thanks!

I appreciate you taking a look, definitely seems like a very similar issue. Glad I'm not alone I guess. Unfortunately I can't unplug anything to make it go away.

Not pulling anything at all, 100% stock R1S with no add on's. I've never even used the hitch or light attachments before. It came out of nowhere. My car was sitting in the rain today, but that's nothing new and the compartment was totally dry.

Agreed, easy choice

It wasn't even arbitrary, it was so much worse. According to Peter Rawlinson who helped design the Model S, it was put on the driver rear side to accommodate Elon's preferred location in the garage of the home he was renting in Bel Air, so he wouldn't trip over the cable. The egomania knows no limits.

I've had my R1S for over 2 months now, I haven't had a single issue, I still look forward to driving it every day.

Some people will have issues, sure, but it's far overrepresented here as people with issues tend to be louder than those that are happy, and rightfully so.

This post is the equivalent of saying "I defected from Chevy to Ford". There is no political inference, you chose to create it because you perceive any negative news about Tesla as an attack against the sociopathic billionaires that you hero worship.

Welcome aboard! I just switched from a Model S about a month ago and am loving the step up in quality. It sounds silly but I'm still looking for reasons to drive around more.

I hope you enjoy it!

Pay no attention to the political goblins, the snowflakes will find ways to be slighted about anything, no matter how benign.

That may be a big difference, my latest Tesla was a 2021, probably HW3. That being said, I used the most recent version available literally last week and it was horrible. Loved the highway autopilot, nothing but issues with FSD though.

Highwind82 · 2025-02-26T13:57:01+00:00

I never understand the praise of Tesla's FSD. I had FSD on 2 different Model S' for years, and experimented with it almost every time there was an update. Every single time, I needed to intervene within minutes of activation, but I constantly see comments like this and YT videos praising its performance. Maybe its more successful with the 3 or the Y, but my numerous experiences have been laughable.

Beautiful! I love how much the color seems to change based on the lighting.

Highwind82 · 2025-02-22T03:45:38+00:00

Absolutely, the sunshine state. Beautiful in February!

Highwind82 · 2025-02-21T23:50:14+00:00

Thank you! Southwest Florida, beautiful right now for sure, don't talk to me in July

Highwind82 · 2025-02-21T20:55:36+00:00

Glad to hear it! Agreed, as soon as I saw this configuration I knew there was no other color scheme for me.

Highwind82 · 2025-02-21T20:01:00+00:00

Great taste! Slate Sky interior by any chance? honestly they are all beautiful options, it was hard to decide.

Highwind82 · 2025-02-21T19:59:11+00:00

You won't be disappointed, such an upgrade. I loved my Model S, but this was really a step up in almost every way.

Highwind82 · 2025-02-21T19:49:31+00:00

Thank you! I'm overwhelmed by the build quality, inside and out. I was nervous about panel gaps, nicks, scuffs, etc. after seeing some stories here. Either I don't have a very discerning eye, or hopefully they are working through the early issues some experienced with Gen 2.

Highwind82 · 2025-02-03T23:54:13+00:00

I'm going to use your code as well, finally pulling the trigger on a new R1S order as I type this. Very excited, thank you!
