Arwyn, short for Arwynis

Honestly, My worry is not that Rivian won't make it through the R1/R2 production desert. It is that Rivian will be purchased and eviscerated for the IP or their production capacity by a delivery company or ride-share concern. The backstop to such an action is the overweight of the extra bets...

Love it. Found it as a fake at the picture. But enjoyed the effort.

Our R1 purchase resulted from three test drives, two owners conversations and a couple visits to Rivian Spaces. Cannot emphasize enough, the physical experience of a vehicle purchase.

Not to disagree … because you are correct. E92 M3, perfection of the badge and brand.

Properly stage 3 Dinan tuned, short shifter, suspension, brakes, intake, air mass meter and exhaust, she can put M5, to bed while schooling just about everything the 90’s could put on the street.

Agreed. Living in Michigan and travelling to Normal, IL I'm highly spoiled there are three RAN networks nicely placed along that travel corridor. Also, having a '26 R1S with 6 months of RAN access, I'm at about $1,400 in avoided charging costs (13k miles in 5 months). So much so, that I've...

Wondering if it is just Autonomy+ or also adds Rivian charging network free period and/or Connectivity+ ?

I appreciate Autonomy+ included in our R1S Gen2 LE. Can see it as a primer to get new buyers and upgraders through the door with less friction. Plus, having a solid process for trade-in worked out online, buyers know what they are $trading-in$

All Purpose will kneel. Conserve won’t

Correct. And each state, county and local municipality can create sub-standards for cleanliness making refineries work harder to calculate and refine blends within their service regions. Add on steady demand refinements for aviation, diesel grades, construction and farm equipment. Oh and less we...

Compass. Minor gripe. Why does location specific needs like a garage door opener permanently exist on the banner of the center screen but the compass is all over the place! Different formats, minimized if directions mode, moved down or gone in center screen in different apps. This is an...

Same issue - IPhone 16Pro w/ AW Ultra 2 & AW 10. Added during day to AWU2 fine. Can’t add to AW10. Figured it’s a limitation on Rivian as no issues with payment apps, workout apps or subscriptions apps.
