I have a PDM R1S since late September. It has been problem free, only small issue has been a little part of the headliner was not glued by the front driver seat belt. A little glue and patience fixed it. My under standing is everything is the same as the quad, so unless you have motor failure...

yup! May 2022 R1S. I pre orderd a dual motor from day 1 and ended up changing to a performance dual motor early summer 2023. I mostly did it due to Rivian cutting back software on the base (no sport mode) and knowing dual performance models will be prioritized. Got my R1S late September.

Check out the GVWR sticker for the duals.

I just check my R1S dual performance with 21s. 8532, I can get a pic out later.

Its an R1s. I will put the pic in the other thread, gvrw is 8532lbs with 21s.

I only demo drove a quad, felt the same. I think I drive about 70% AP and 30% sport. AP is still fast enough, just not “sports car” fast. I am only about 3 weeks into ownership so the novelty of sport mode is still awesome. As I own it longer I see more AP use. Currently for just driving around...

I got a performance dual motor! In AP mode it does go, just not throw your head back. In sport mode it does seem like it has more power. When you launch or mash the throttle you feel a lot more go. Also having sport mode you can be in permanent AWD with out being in snow or offroad. AP is like a...

Sucks it didn’t fit in the garage, the R1S is about 17 inch shorter, maybe update your reservation to the R1S? Awesome job Eeyore for helping out!

I was poking around the configurator last night and noticed on Dual performance now has soft sand mode to the list of drive configurations. Not sure when I would use soft sand with my dual motor performance, but good to know it might be coming!

Delivery day! Limestone R1S Performance Dual motor. I was told it is the first dual motor R1S in Oregon. Car is a beast, love it!

Added.

Awesome to see a Portland club! I have a R1S on order. Like many last week I got the confirm configuration email, so fingers cross it actually shows us this early fall. I feel lucky though, my pre order was May 2022, not as long of a wait as some of you.

Yeah the quad motor is really cool but being a post price increase reservation, spending more money on performance I wont regularly use didn’t make sense. As much as I love to drive spirited, in the end it’s still a large family hauler / commuter. I am an August to September estimate, looks...

Helps if I can get my years straight, I preordered May of 2022 post price changes. Sorry for the bad information, life has been a blur as of late.

I am a mid May 2021 pre order with a dual motor. Estimate is Aug - Sept 2023, I live in Portland, close to a service center and state that has “good” direct sales laws. I suspect Rivian is has to balance supply chain issues (been reported quad motors are a bottle neck), cash flow, direct sale...
