Do limit your charge to 70% to 80% unless you are planning a longer drive. You will get much better long term battery life that way.

R1S, green, dark interior, 20" wheels as part of the all terrain package. quad, large pack. The photo is it charging up while waiting for delivery

I had a MT address on my Oct 2020 pre-order and basically was told I will never be invited to buy the R1S. I changed my address to my son's place near Portland Oregon and almost immediately was invited to the store. I bought the R1S speced exactly as I wanted it and had it in the driveway in...

Let me guess: A $44,000 repair...

I'm still at "Processing Estimate". Their excuse is that there are no service centers near me. Interesting that Tesla also has no service c enters near me and they have been in business for 20 years and sell about oe million vehicles per year. Somehow I think there will never be a service center...

OK, thanks. Never got the email and I checked my various SPAM locations too.

Hmmm... no emails, nothing has changed in my "Processing Estimate" state. October 2020 order date. I guess I'm still in Never Never Land (i.e. I will never ever get a delivery update)

on the otter hand: better buy the ICE of your dreams now because with all the mandatory EV laws coming down the pike you won't be able to buy one ever again. As the EV mandatory laws get implemented there will be plenty of EVs to choose from.

It is very interesting. I have followed Rivian for quite awhile and have an Oct 2020 order for an R1S. Odds are good that it won't be able to be delivered for a very long time because I am very far from any rivian center. Since I have been following the forums for awhile I see that almost every...

What an odd statement, not only is Count Orlok right about prices, the R1S at current pricing is higher than an Ineos. In addition "The only thing I'll think of when I see one here is that the owner wasn't handy enough to work on a classic defender of landcruiser". Really? I assume you do al...

I'm watching "A Long Way Up". 3 episodes so far. Makes me think the Grenadier is an even better idea than I originally thought :) Good thing they have a huge truck mounted diesel powered generator to get them out of trouble when the s*** hits the fan.

Well, I like old school:) I sold my landcruiser last year in anticipation of a q4 2022 R1s delivery as stated by Rivian but got changed to processing estimate (Greek for “never”). The Ineos is built like a tank. It and Rivian are worlds apart in terms of manufacturing philosophy. One wants to...

Pre-ordering for the US is now open. I have started a race between rivian and ineos: I have a (pre-) order in for an R1S and a Grenadier. The prices are about the same. My R1S pre-order is October 2020 but I live far from any service centers in a very rural area so that is leaving me at...

how did that ever get past "quality control"? Is this a sign of bigger issues with processes?
