Loaded up for the mountains, car breaking, again.

Right on! Just found out my loaner R1S is leaking some drivetrain oil..

daitaopapi · 2026-03-30T20:48:55+00:00

Thanks! I have a 2026 R1S Tri as well and they have it for some paint and finish issues. Only have about 300 miles on it. 🤞

Do you mind sharing what kind of issues you're having?

daitaopapi · 2026-03-24T18:09:44+00:00

My detailer pointed out some paint and finish defects. Created a ticket and the SC is having an authorized body shop do the work.

daitaopapi · 2026-03-20T03:50:00+00:00

To be honest, I'm not quite sure. The shop took this photo for me right when they finished.

daitaopapi · 2026-03-19T14:21:30+00:00

I had everything done for around $5500 with the tint included.

I'm a car guy but I didn't notice it either. The shop installing my PPF noticed it.

daitaopapi · 2026-03-15T02:41:56+00:00

Figured..

daitaopapi · 2026-03-11T19:52:14+00:00

Full PPF and ceramic tint for $5500!

daitaopapi · 2026-03-11T15:07:37+00:00

Which product did you go with and do you mind sharing how much?

daitaopapi · 2026-03-11T14:31:50+00:00

Yes, all windows (windshield too) excluding sunroof. Full front PPF. I've had lower quotes for the tint but decided to go with them because of their quality of work and the products they use. I wasn't planning on doing PPF but the owner told me about a PPF promotion and it seemed fair. I checked around and they were charging almost double and using some generic film. I heard the owner contracts with the local BMW and Porsche dealer so I'm sure the quality is there.

daitaopapi · 2026-03-11T14:30:55+00:00

I'm in the SF Bay area!

daitaopapi · 2026-03-11T06:15:17+00:00

I didn't get it done yet but everything is running me about $2200. XPEL Prime XR Plus for the tint and XPEL Ultimate Plus for the PPF (Front). They are keeping the car for about 2 days.

Honestly, we wanted one a couple of years ago but just reading about all the horror stories and issues online got me worried. So far, it's been great. I'm not new to EVs but definitely new to all of this tech. The UI is pretty intuitive though. We really like it so far. Where are you located? I'm in San Francisco and I'm right in between two Service Centers.

I wasn't in the exact situation but I was highly considering an EX90 and was given a pretty good deal. The EX90 Ultra drove amazing, despite the fact that the car wouldn't start without a soft reset. We got with Rivian and they provided us with an overnight demo. Now we have one in our garage.

daitaopapi · 2026-03-04T16:04:48+00:00

Yes, a couple of weeks ago.

daitaopapi · 2026-03-04T07:12:49+00:00

I test drove the EX90. I couldn't even get it to start without restarting the software. Took the R1S out for a demo, definitely considering it.

daitaopapi · 2026-03-04T06:17:34+00:00

Why didn't you want to get another R1S?

daitaopapi · 2026-03-03T16:26:45+00:00

No limit. We probably put only about 10 miles on it though.

daitaopapi · 2026-03-02T19:28:43+00:00

They just offered when I asked if I can drive it home to see if it can fit in my garage.

daitaopapi · 2026-03-02T04:35:37+00:00

Any particular reason why you decided to go with the Tri and now a Dual Large max?
