Almost everyone says you’ll get used to it, and that’s true to an extent, but I’m not sure you’ll ever like it. I strongly dislike 1 pedal driving and I’ve had my truck for over 3 years. I tolerate it, but will never like it. There’s no perfect vehicle and they all have pros and cons. Overall...

Of all the complaints I’ve heard on this forum over almost 4 years, this is probably the most ridiculous.

RJ can’t place the blame on inexperienced/mom and pop body shops. Rivian won’t sell parts to anyone other than a Rivian-certified repair facility so it’s not likely that many people are taking their vehicles to some inexperienced repair facility. The only one in Oregon through at least 2023...

All depends on price. It’s a very competitive market right now.

The R2 will be nicer than the Mach E but not as nice as the R1. I don’t consider the R1 luxury though, more of a premium level. My interior shows almost no wear after almost 3.5 years though, so that’s nice.

I’m casting my vote for AI Wyclef Jean.

This means you can use gear shop points on more items. I’m a fan of that!

Out of curiosity, what are your thoughts on purchasing a 3rd party extended warranty? Sounds like you really liked the Rivian and that may have been a viable alternative. Mine is over 3 years old and I’m planning on purchasing an extended warranty in a few years since I can’t find an EV...

Also an early R1T owner with with and early R2 reservation. Hard to justify an R2 when the R1 is still so good.

Yeah that’s weird, I had mine replaced without question about a year ago. Surprised they aren’t just replacing.

Having ~320 miles of range gets rid of the daily range issues in the winter. My prior EV’s only has about 200 in ideal conditions and winter range anxiety and issues really sucked.

That’s still $720 for replacement before shipping and taxes. And hasn’t it been a problem for many of the owners who have used these?

Nice, what temps and state of charge? Warm tires? I’m so excited to try when I get the update!

Same price as the competition yet far, far less power. Poor range. Very slow charging. Recalls immediately. Poor interior design.

I’ve always had that issue on my Gen 1 when I start the climate controls from the app. However, if I turn on defrost instead of just the typical climate controls, it’ll re-open my vents and go back to my prior settings when I manually turn off defrost inside the car. Sometimes that still...
