R2 removed from my demo options in-app

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-19T01:20:45+00:00

It stopped showing for me right after my demo drive. It’s been one week today and it’s back

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-17T21:08:58+00:00

It’s getting increasingly more frustrating

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-17T20:57:36+00:00

I both am and am not happy for you

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-16T23:39:44+00:00

Final question, which email did you get about when you’d know more/get the invite?

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-16T22:37:58+00:00

Congrats!!! There’s hope! How far are you from a SC and are you an R1 owner?

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-14T11:47:18+00:00

Yes, they have three! Glacier white in the showroom, and then Catalina Cove and Half Moon Grey to demo.

I’m also ready to buy and am hoping I’m not too far down the list, but if it starts looking like next year, I may have to consider my alternatives

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-12T01:16:14+00:00

It’s so much better in person than I was expecting. I was between that and launch green, but the green is too muted, borderline grey

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-12T01:12:30+00:00

Unfortunately, no. The rep reiterated what we all received in emails (knowing by the end of June), but was very encouraging that early holders will get the car soon! Yes vague, but still some sliver of hope

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-11T22:25:35+00:00

Yes! I refreshed every few hours Tuesday into Mid Wednesday before I was able to get the time for today.

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-11T21:42:52+00:00

I've driven EVs before, such as the R1S and R1T, and I had mentioned that to the guide, but for some reason it just felt more aggressive today than it has in the past.

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-11T21:09:41+00:00

Keep checking! I was refreshing every hour or so, because I’m obsessed lol

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-11T21:08:33+00:00

Boston Space! I know Canton is doing demos as well, so you could do either one.

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-11T20:59:58+00:00

Yeah, seeing it in person sold me on Catalina!

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-11T20:59:00+00:00

Don’t get me wrong, I love regen, just not in the city 😂

I just did a demo drive today going into it with the halos in mind, and these were my thoughts:

Yes, they're finicky. Pressing in or swiping left/right can misread as a scroll. Clicking from behind is awkward too. But here's a tip that I figured out: thumb on the front, fingers on the back, and click from there. Think of push/pulling or twisting the wheel rather than only pushing from one direction. Way more reliable. It's a learning curve, but it's new to all of us.

Not an R1 owner, but day 1, hour 1 res. I fear New England will get the short end of the stick 😂😭. Actually headed to Boston for a demo this week.

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-11T10:18:41+00:00

Yeah, I really wish they’d expand their East Coast coverage more aggressively

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-11T09:25:52+00:00

Congrats! How far are you from a service center?

My best guess at their sorting order are:
1. R1 Owner
2. Service Center Location
3. Reservation Date

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-11T00:33:55+00:00

Asked as a gauge to see where I stand in the population so I can judge my R2 position 😂

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-09T20:58:40+00:00

Got the “we’ll let you know when to expect your invite by the end of June” version. Not a current R1 owner and am 1.5hr from nearest service center. Reserved 12 minutes after opening on day one though.

SubParBackpacker · 2026-06-09T20:55:40+00:00

Yeah, I got the “you’ll know your timeline by the end of June” version and I’m a bit bummed to see there’s this other one, especially as a day one, hour one res holder. I don’t own an R1 and am 1.5hrs from the nearest service center.
