As I have posted on other threads, my truck was delivered today and I spent the afternoon driving around Greensboro area. PBA was signed on 5/4, 8 steps started 5/11 and was ready for delivery on 5/17. Had to push out delivery to Saturday waiting for my bank. First impressions...the Limestone to me is definitely not blue. I feel its more of a wet cement with a hint of green. All my pictures are with samsung note 20 ultra. It looks a better in person and i dont think most photos give the color justice. And I do agree with RJ that's its a great combo with FE interior. I was scared but FE is very nice and compliments Limestone. I have zero regrets picking this combo.
I'm used to driving an EV with my mustang but the truck is quick. Looked down several times and I was going over 80 and couldn't tell. The one peddle driving to me was fine in standard and the ride is real smooth. Didn't mess too much with modes and heights. I got a ton of looks of confused faces at stop light and people giving me the thumbs up. I was stopped twice at sams club parking lot.. who makes that ? I said rivian, and they were like who? Where did you get that? They had no idea it was all electric.
I know other posted concerns about the roof, but to us it was fine and it was bright and humid 90 degrees here in NC. Couldnt feel any heat through the roof. I will definitely have to put ceramic tint on the front windows though, as I felt the heat. I also got a spotify account last night and the sound system was good and significantly better than the Mustang Mach-E. The software and controls were all pretty good and I would say better than the Mustang but not as polished as tesla. But the build quality was very solid and seems to be pretty well put together. Far better than tesla and on par with my Mustang Mach-E. No rattles or real wind noise so far. I did notice one side of the hood is slightly mis aligned and not sure if it's enough to me try and get fixed. That was the only thing I really spotted so far. The 360 camera wasn't terrible and more useful camera changes than the mustang.
So far, I really like the truck and has big shoes to fill after the Mustang Mach-E for me. I am happy with it and I think it's definitely worth the headaches and long waits. I didnt get into like everything or try everything like others have. To me there were a couple cons and please correct me if I just missed it.
1. As every said, the wireless charger is terrible. Worse than the MachE. It is very slick surface and the phone will not stay in the only spot that charges. Also looked for a USB outlet in the front and couldn't find one. I'm sure somone will correct me and we just missed it. Edit: i found the usb c outlets in the center console with nice cut outs for the cords to reach the charging pad.
2. The cups holders seem like it's very cheap but I do like how it folds away and you have the open space up front.
3. The Mustang Mach-E had the pre cursor to blue cruise and would steer for me on most roads. I had the premium awd. Could not get driver plus to work on any roads and only had adaptive cruise.
4. The back seat is tight. Especially with car seats like us. I have a revolve 360 seat and to rotate the seat in rear faceing , I had to move my seat up. I will get a better feel tomorrow when I put everything in the car.
5. I think i will miss sirius radio, even with the worse quality. But spotify never lagged or lost service. So it could be ok.
5. The front hood is slight misaligned on the driver side. See the picture.
6. The air vents seem to be closed on every start and had to adjust it everything I got into the car.
That's all I can think of at the moment, but don't get me wrong this is nice truck and very worthy of the praise thus far. Let me know if yoy have any questions.
