Two Years With My Gen 2 R1T and How I Ended the Lease Early

I finally sat down and recorded the whole thing. What two years with my Gen 2 R1T actually looked like, the service side of ownership that nobody really talks about, and how I got out of my lease early to move into the R2.

If you are deciding between buying and leasing, or you are sitting on a lease and wondering whether an early exit is even possible, this is the one to watch. I walk through what it cost me and what I would do differently.
