You are in the minority as the R1S outsells your baby sized R1T three to one. I've never had an R1S loaner just Gen 1 R1Ts and they were all neglected and in desperate need of service.
We've had our R1S steel running boards on for about 18 months and they are great. Some rust has started to appear on the driver's side top plate. EVSportline will let us upgrade to the Aluminum boards for a reasonable price. We plan to keep our R1S for many years and I don't want to have to...
That 80 cents per kWh is insane. If you intend to keep the house long term might invest in an inverter and batteries. We power our house every day from 6 am to midnight with battery power. Can even run our 5-ton AC since it's inverter/variable. The batteries charge from midnight to 6am for...
On Gen 2 you can push on the drive's handle dimple if you have your Iphone or Apple Watch with you. Really wish Rivian would add the option to turn off proximity lock at multiple locations. Woudn't really be that hard. Tesla has that ability IIRC.
Crazy how fast things change. We drove our '21 MYLR for a year (8k miles) and then sold it to a KIA dealer who wanted it bad for 8k more than we paid for it. They still had it when muskrat tanked the tesla market. I'm guessing they dumped it for 20k less than they paid us. Serves them right...
Those captain's chairs look very nice and I think it will increase sales. But for us the bench seat is preferred. Nobody has ever been in our third row. It's always folded flat and packed to gills on our road trips. The second row is for our 65lb lab and we use a sling. Filling that center...
Please explain the vastly superior phone integration and mapping. Our '26 Sierra EV has recently received several OTAs with no new features other than the half bake vision recorder update. Still not pet mode, camp mode, etc. It will never have digital key even though it was a promised feature...
I'm not sure what to make of this. If I leave pet mode on at 68 degrees our entire G2 R1S is nice and cool when we return. Same if we just use the timer. We have the dynamic roof and maybe that make a noticeable difference.
We don't have the glass roof in our Sierra EV and I don't miss it a...
