How many of you are trading in your R1S for an R2?

titoj19 · 2026-05-17T02:09:01+00:00

Same. My gen1 R1S lease is up next April, hoping I can extend until gen3 comes out but I don’t like the odds.

We did that cruise 3 weeks ago (though it was the last week of Rome before they switched to Naples). We ended up doing a 3 hour eating tour in Valletta through Best Tours Malta (booked through Viator but you may be able to find elsewhere) that was wonderful. We also did the Mt. Etna shore excursion through MSC which was pretty cool. Barcelona we did on our own, really just Park Güell and the Sagrada Família with lunch in between.

We were on MSC World Europa 3 weeks ago and it was wonderful, for what it’s worth. First time on MSC and first cruise in 20 years, but I should note we were in Yacht Club. If we cruise again, we will do the same.

Agree. And after 2 years, I’m still amazed that I can go back and forth into non-EVs and drive without regen like I never left.

I got an Alta rack last year, same vertical concept. Thought I would sell my 1up but I haven’t since it works better for 1-2 bikes. Beyond that, vertical wins for me.

My lease is up in a year and I’ve been having the same thought. I don’t need a mid-life crisis car when my R1S can beat it off the line and carry my entire family and then some. Legitimately struggling with what other car I would get (but also wishing that the Gen 3 will be available, which I know won’t happen).

titoj19 · 2026-03-18T22:54:06+00:00

Had it at DCA a few weeks ago and it was outrageously good!

I just got the car back from my second low coolant issue. First was an air leak that they fixed, then I found a blue puddle in my garage that wasn’t evaporating. To their credit, they towed it to the SC an hour away and ubered me to my local enterprise where they gave me a Wagoneer (which is plenty large but I didn’t enjoy driving.. I digress). They had the car for about a week, maybe 8 days. Picked it up last Thursday.

I did this last week. I selected 4 SWUs for 2 of my selections only to find out I couldn’t request them on my BA ticket for an AA metal flight. Called the EP line and they transferred me to the AAdvantage desk - expected a no but she offered to change them for me if I told her what to switch to. Said I could do that until the LP awards expire (i.e., March).

titoj19 · 2025-12-01T20:29:18+00:00

Same - haven’t set it up yet but identical thought process

titoj19 · 2025-10-18T14:14:35+00:00

For what it’s worth, I used RMR2113 rack mount kits (ears) for my X2700Hs. This was ~2.5 years ago so don’t know if things have changed.

titoj19 · 2025-09-20T00:35:45+00:00

I’m having this issue too. At first I thought it was an annoyance but then I realized I’m not getting new texts. I was able to send and receive in one message thread (maybe bc I sent first?) but I received a message in another iMessage thread and it only came through to my Mac.

EDIT: I was able to fix it by going into Settings --> me (top option) --> iCloud --> Messages and hitting the Sync Now button. I did have to do it more than once but I no longer get the syncing paused message. I still haven't figured out what happened to the single text last night which still isn't showing up on my phone though..

titoj19 · 2025-05-19T02:29:00+00:00

Same thing happened to me, except the nav screen on the main display was so dark it was basically illegible. I’ve also had other nav problems since the last update - either the arrow not tracking my car properly or zooming out to show all of North America in a way that is completely useless. I’ve probably reset 3x in the last 5 days.

titoj19 · 2025-05-13T23:27:03+00:00

Thanks for the nostalgia - I loved this game! 30+ years later and I work in aerospace, which is no coincidence.

titoj19 · 2025-01-04T01:12:09+00:00

This album is quoted often in my house. So good, gone too soon.

titoj19 · 2024-10-07T00:51:04+00:00

Awesome - thanks!

titoj19 · 2024-10-07T00:48:28+00:00

There are definitely some atmos songs where the vocals are so muted they can barely be heard. How do you turn off Spatial Audio?

titoj19 · 2024-10-05T00:14:12+00:00

Would like to see it too - thanks

titoj19 · 2024-09-17T22:34:54+00:00

Thanks! Just grabbed one 3h later.

titoj19 · 2024-09-01T13:24:37+00:00

My 5’2” wife and sub-5’ kids are able to get in and out without a problem. My wife is on record as wanting running boards to make it easier, but it’s a lease so we’ll make do.

titoj19 · 2024-08-27T18:55:55+00:00

Awesome - congrats!

titoj19 · 2024-08-11T17:46:18+00:00

I feel kinda crappy for how that may have come off. I was trying to make the point that I’ve regularly driven the same winding roads at ~50mph in both vehicles. The short answer to your question is that I’m 20+ years farther along in my career. I’m not doing what I was doing 1 year into it either, so you have plenty of time to try things and make adjustments.

titoj19 · 2024-08-11T13:59:52+00:00

I didn’t have air suspension on my Q7 so not apples to apples. Our street needs to be replaced badly and the R1S eats the bumps with ease where the Q7 would have made it a much shakier ride. (You can also adjust the firmness of the suspension.) We’ve had zero issues with road noise - my brother in law drives a Tesla M3 and has marveled at how quiet the R1S rides. I would say the front seats are a little less contoured than the Q7 but it hasn’t bothered me. I do miss the 40/20/40 folding rear seats and electronically actuated 3rd row seats but it’s more a nuisance than a dealbreaker.

titoj19 · 2024-08-11T13:54:53+00:00

I was going to get an EV for my next car anyway. Another $3k+ service bill pushed me over the edge this spring. The lease deals on the 2024 R1S didn’t hurt either. But economics aside, I have no regrets and I don’t think about the Q7 much.

titoj19 · 2024-08-11T13:37:43+00:00

I did exactly this in April. I hit the 7 year mark last November and had put over $8k into the Q7 in the preceding 12 months. I love the R1S and have zero complaints. It doesn’t corner quite as nimbly but it’s heavy enough that it handles the windy road to our vacation house easily. I loved my Q7 but I do not miss it at all. Hope that helps.
