2025 R1T Quad Max Gen 2 Reservation Rollcall

[Count Orlok]

The Count may give up if there isn't real news by the end of March. But then most people already heard about this.

I don’t know why Rivian hasn’t announced anything yet. I would have done the quad before the dune tri they just announced.

I don’t know why Rivian hasn’t announced anything yet. I would have done the quad before the dune tri they just announced.

I think the dune tri launch says a lot. The quad is taking longer than they expected - so needed to launch *somthing* to keep the media cycles etc going. If I did not have a TriMax already I'd certainly have jumped on the California Dune. Putting my other issues aside - the one thing that I really felt a bit off about the new high end Rivian's is that they were becoming more mall crawlers than actual adventure vehicles. Don't get me wrong (though it's actually kinda my point) the Ascend interior is LOVELY, but its not going to cope well with mud etc (fabric on the back of the seats!). I'm already wondering if its the truck I want to haul bikes around on, as I'm DISGUSTING after a day in the hills

At this point would it not make sense that the Quad is released as a 2026 model? Assuming they release the 2026 models sometime late Spring to Summer, a release of a 2025 Quad in March would make it a very short lived model.

I wonder if the new quad with be the first NACS Rivian?

Reserved a Gen2 Quad R1S on December 31st 2024. For some reason I felt it might make sence to have it in before the EOY. I did not get the survey but IMO there is never enough power or acceleration!

I too am growing impatient with the lack of updates. I think what is frustrating me most is that the quad has been tested and Rivian is touting all the stats from the quad on the website for both the r1s and r1t even though we cant have it.

I think the Tri is an amazing product and I dont think that adding 100HP and 200Tq to the front on the quad is going to make that big of a deal. Put the Quads wheels on the Tri and I bet it will do the same 0-60 and probably just shy on the 1/4 mile.

What I do care about are the following. I like to have the top model, There is just something just like all the reviews of the Tri say "and this is not even the fastest" that would bother me when paying 100k I might as well step it up to the quad (assuming we ever can). Also the Yellow accents basicly stating at all times - "this is not the really good one"

The other big thing is the unknown - Its all speculation but what if they do make a R1X. (flared fenders, big brakes, ect). Or if the quad gets stuff the tri did not, that cant be bolted on, Like a customizable drive mode or something.

Come on Rivian, throw us a bone here.

Count is a quitter, confirmed.

Some day Rivian might come to their census.

The way the quad and the tri are positioned gives me the impression of sister products more than tiered. They aren’t very far apart in performance as you said but you are also giving up range for the quad. With it projected to not be too much more money I’m not sure what their thinking is.

The badging being special says the opposite of them being complimentary products.

Exactly my thoughts with the badging. Range doesn't matter to me at all. In fact if a smaller battery could push the same amps without voltage sage I would chose an even smaller battery in order to save weight and further increase performance even at the same Price.

That's the thing that sucks for me. I am like you where I want the top end edition because it annoys me to not have it. However, this is my road trip vehicle so range is important to me. That's why I went with the trimax as the gen 1 quad I had was just a little short range wise for the most efficient road tripping and I didn't want to get something with even less range than that, but now I'm stuck with the "tier 2"

With the price increases here in Canada I ended up switching my reservation to a TriMax. I was really on the fence regarding performance/range and usually just buy the way you do. I think the extra range will be ultimately more useful than beating people off the line at the lights. I even got the less attractive range wheels for that bonus 5%.

You're still going to beat almost anyone in the world off the line at a light. Using the included launch mode I get 2.84 0-60 times on my 22" sport wheels with the trimax on the regular street, no prep. You'll bet a stock new Corvette, not the ZO6 but a stock C8 runs a slower time in the 1/4. The trimax is the third fastest production SUV in existence.

While beating others off the line is fun, this is rare for me becase the Rivian is so unassuming (I wish it was not, think Raptor/TRX). I truly enjoy the acceleration when no one is looking, Just that feeling of power and pulling almost a full G makes my inner child happy and as I get older its harder and harder to find things that excites me like this. I try not to actauly launch from a stop all that often: Stress on the Drivetrain, a little damage to the tires, and because of the slight wheelspin it can probably get me some type of ticket if done at the wrong time. (worst case would be that the person next to me goes too and then it gets considered street racing if I was not intending that). My favorite is just a nice long pull from like 30-80 when getting on the highway and this is where I think the Quad will actually differentiate itself from the Tri (not related to tires). Note - The Gen 1 quad pulls better 30-80 in AP than sport. Hopfully with more hardware based rear power bias this will not be the case in the gen 2 quad.

Do you guys think that we could start a campaign of all messaging and calling to push them to launch? the squeeky wheel gets the grease and it might be the case that they are holding off the launch for some type of accounting BS reason not because its not ready,

Who thinks they will do some type of R1X?

Realistically, almost nothing is going to touch a high performance AWD EV on the street. Our slowest EV, a Model 3 Long Range with boost, will consistently run a real 3.7 0-60 (not omitting rollout) and there is almost nothing I've encountered on the street that will beat it on the street. Many cars that are quicker than it on the track, are humbled by it on the street. Traction is almost the limiting factor.

Line up against an S Plaid, and it will take a really quick car to beat one. For reference, mine at 50% SoC will still run a 2.4 0-60 (not omitting rollout) or 2.2 if you want to compare to the Tri might show when in launch mode. That isn't using launch mode or anything on the Plaid or even a warm pack.

Modern EVs are just stupid quick, at least 0-60. The Plaid was the first one that didn't really die off over 60 mph. I ran some 90-110 times on G1 quad recently. The time it takes to go from 90-110, the Plaid can just about go 0-100.

I'd like to see more in depth testing on the G2 quad when it finally launches. The ~2.5 0-60 time isn't bad but I'd like to see more data at higher speed intervals. What does it run 60-130. That looks to be about 8+ seconds, which isn't bad but puts it slower than something like the 2022+ Model S Long Range. That is a fairly satisfying car to drive once you get past its fairly slow 0-30 times.
