  4. There are people with R1Ses without any issues right?

    Zero issues and I have been driving it for a year now. Best vehicle I have owned till date.

  5. Is the Model X now a better buy over R1S? (WARNING: NO ELON MUSK DISCUSSIONS)

    Folks, I added a few points to note about Tesla MX versus R1S. Please read in case you are looking at a practical ownership experience review. I haven't covered the financial aspects such as tax credits. Running costs are the same for MX and R1S in terms of power consumption at home...

  6. Tesla has removed the Standard Range Model X in the US and dropped prices up to 19%. The Model X is now eligible for the $7,500 EV tax credit.

    For those of you who are looking at a Model X versus R1S comparison, here are some points to consider. I have owned a Model S and then a Model X.

  8. Motortrend: We ran our Rivian to zero battery charge / range. What happened didn't go well.

    Just glad everyone involved is OK.

  10. Tesla to R1S…Impressed so far

  11. New Rivian owner: LA Silver R1S

  12. Safety Issue - R1S needs warning when liftgate is open

    I think a warning when we pull out and until 10 or 20 mph would be apt. Driving with the liftgate open is a valid use case when we carry long articles like wood, furniture etc. I agree continuous alerting is a pain.

  13. Safety Issue - R1S needs warning when liftgate is open

  14. Safety Issue - R1S needs warning when liftgate is open

    I agree. Happened to me the other day when I was pulling out of my garage. luckily I spotted it just after I pulled out.. It would've been good to get an audible warning right after shifting to 'Drive'.

  15. Totaled R1S after side impact accident at stop sign

    Sorry to hear. Hope you folks are ok.
