I far prefer the smooth change to the transfer of energy that I get with OPD. It's more comfortable. Is it more efficient? Probably not if you use it in a similar way to how you would drive an ICE. I use it with a strong zen filter to never accumulate speed/momentum that I'm just going to have...

But are they so far out of the way that they aren't useful? Don't have my Gravity yet, but I have a common passenger about your size that frequently complains about not only sun visor positioning but the giant windshield back when I had an X. I may be in for the "worst of both worlds" if they...

It can't hurt to throw in a few "Good boy!"s...

A follow-up question - how much would your experience with that interior in your Air affect your future interior choices?

Thanks Bob! That's exactly the kind of first-hand feedback I've been hoping to see. It's odd that they even say that they put purluxe on the back seat door armrests explicitly, but that's not the case even though I'd love to see that (on both rows).

The Yosemite vehicle I've been looking at is the one at Millbrae which has a couple of "is that really a final build or an engineering sample" issues with it, so maybe that isn't the final state of the interior - but it does match the pictures in the configurator...

If I recall correctly, the leather door panels look all one piece with just stitching across the seam between the door and the arm rest. But, the Yosemite interior I saw seemed like the driver's arm rest might have been a different piece. Wondering if I can order a sheet of the material used for...

There are actually 3 interiors I think. Purluxe is the base level, only in black. Purluxe Premium is an upgraded version, in black or white for $2900. Leather is available in Tahoe (light brown, baseball mitt, or orange depending on viewer) or Ojai (dark brown/"terracotta") for $4200. The...

I'm really not a fan of the Tahoe interior unfortunately. :(

Yes, I can confirm that the other Gravity they had (the test drive vehicle) with the Tahoe trim had leather on the arm rests and you can see this in the pictures in the configurator as well. The regular Purluxe interiors have this as well, but I would expect the Premium Purluxe to have a nicer...

Here is a screen grab showing the comparison of the center and driver's door arm rest.

Well the only one I touched was the driver's door arm rest. It was made of the same coarse fabric as the driver's door panels. From the pictures, it looks like all of the door arm rests are the same material. For contrast, the center armrest for the driver and front passenger is made of a...

In sitting in a Yosemite interior briefly in a showroom, I notice that the arm rests are made of the same coarse fabric of the door panels. While it didn't seem uncomfortable for just the seat test in the showroom, I'm wondering how they fare on a day to day basis with a bare elbow resting on...

I feel like the standard practice of the industry is to... Figure out how much wibbly wobbly swingy swongy trailer it can pull without losing stability given the vehicle's tire loads, traction and handling characteristics. (Porsche even listed different figures for depending on whether the...

The Macan has a tongue weight of 441 lbs which is only applicable to a trailer as mentioned in the definitions in the owners manual (link). The technical data page only lists the tongue weight of 441 lbs and not the "load-carrying capacity" which is the figure they define as applying to bike...

Things are a bit better here in CA. The DCFC stations are right off the highway as well.

I had to update my previous post because I realized I hadn't taken apartment dwellers and other people with no home charging infrastructure into account. For the near future, that continues to be a problem. But hopefully apartment complexes, condo structures, and public spaces will start to...

While accurate in the specific moment, this kind of analysis leaves out so many variables. On a road trip it is fairly close to accurate because the route is long and well defined and the gas stations are right next to the route. But, for everyday driving, you have to plan out where and when to...

Tow weight is determined by a number of factors of which the hitch is only one. A 1000lb car cannot tow a 10,000lb trailer no matter how beefy the hitch is designed. A big truck with skimpy little wheels and a basic suspention cannot tow much no matter how strong its frame or how beefy the tow...
