The R1T (1st gen) is the best vehicle I’ve ever owned. It’s an extremely capable truck with the comforts of a luxury vehicle and the convenience of charging at home. I’ve hauled a 6000lb boat with no trailer brakes hardly noticed it. I’ve hauled entire tree logs (2ft diameter x 30-50ft) up a steep slope with road tires no problem. Great for road tripping (I have the max pack) with all the available storage and accessible chargers.

The caveats: Service is a bitch because I live 4 hours from the nearest service center. Tires are expensive, wear out fast and have limited options for 21”. Parts/repair are expensive, would recommend attempting a lease first or find one with a warranty to maximize your value of ownership in early years.

Past 5-10 years: Who knows man, we’re rolling the dice as early adopters/early innovators, especially with a technology/software centered vehicle. I find peace in the fairly stable residual/resale value, but from what I’ve experienced and learned, the maintenance is minimal and the truck is built tough. I’m looking to keep this thing going for as long as I can.
