  1. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    Fully aware. Both vehicles had Michigan plates. So unless the other vehicle happened to be a customer with Michigan plates in Georgia parked where the demo vehicles are, then I doubt it.
  2. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    I am. Thought about leaving a Google review as well but would prefer Rivian handled directly and hopefully resolve the issue with this employee. The weirder part is that I've talked to this employee several times before (I've spend a lot of time in the showrooms and bring people interested...
  3. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    Just did my second test drive and oh boy, Rivian needs to figure out customer service in some areas. My first test drive was in the Orlando SC and it was excellent. My second one was today in the Alpharetta showroom and it was pretty terrible. I had an appointment booked for 2:30 p.m., showed...
  4. First R2 flip. $20K price premium added

    Engagement gift and she said no? Only thing I could think of unless it's complete BS.
  5. Rivian Paint Color Replacements - Predictions & Speculation 🎨 🤔 ⁉️

    I thought I read somewhere too that they had a different name for the white. Would not shock me if it were replaced down the line. I think it looks good now but IMO has more to do with Rivian's design language and less of the color doing anything for it. I do think all the original R1 colors...
  6. Rivian Paint Color Replacements - Predictions & Speculation 🎨 🤔 ⁉️

    Love these kind of threads. Speculation is right on though. Launch Green will likely stay that way, just for launches and for limited availability. I foresee it gone on the R2 once the launch edition just becomes regular performance. I also foresee Storm Blue sticking around as a R1 exclusive...
  7. Four years, four R1Ts. An adventure and a bitter-sweet cautionary tale.

    Agreed! Toyota is by choice while Nissan has been doing some soul searching for the last decade. Something like the current Frontier but EV would have been amazing. The Japanese market has been very hesitant on EVs which is a shame because they are also the more reliable brands. I do think...
  8. Four years, four R1Ts. An adventure and a bitter-sweet cautionary tale.

    I loved my R1S. I miss it every day. However, stories like these are the reason that I decided to sell early. I think long-term and a vehicle that is prone to failure is not something I want to keep around. Another reason why I didn't buy a Gen 2. I already had a damper replaced under warranty...
  9. Garage appreciation thread - show yours

    Love it! Quite the dynamic duo. I had a similar setup (including the same R1 color as yours haha). My wife's car took up the other spot in our garage, but I did photograph my dynamic duo outside once (I no longer own the R1S though and the 2 will likely be sold when I get the R2):
  10. New Tesla Model Y L launching this weekend [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS, NO ELON TALK]

    The Tesla hate in this forum is so real lol Not sold on the looks either, but I have no doubts that it will do well. International reviews have praised it big time and it is currently the best Tesla option for a family. Definitely not a nothingburger. I can admit not for me but I see the appeal.
  11. New Tesla launch (Satire)

    What's the joke? The tired and old EVs catch fire? Hilarious.
  12. "It's a rare consumer product [R2] that approaches perfection" -- Jason Cammisa

    Yeah, not at all what I meant. Quite the opposite actually. Not sure if you meant to comment back to someone else who mentioned his dislike towards the Cybertruck. I actually had no idea he said anything about it before his post. If anything, I found his review of the new Model Y Performance...
  13. "It's a rare consumer product [R2] that approaches perfection" -- Jason Cammisa

    The same people who want Carplay on cars are the same who also complain about screens being too distracting while driving. People just love to complain, even if contradictory. I like Jason enough. He has not gone too far off the deep end with the anti-EV and anti-technology stance some other...
  14. Upcoming BMW iX5 will be a range beast

    Are you insinuating that the Rivian headlights are anything less than perfect?
  15. AWD now an available option for the R2 Standard in the configurator

    At that point, might as well just get the premium.
