  1. Steering Gen 2 R1s loaner vs my Gen 1 Quad R1s

    Never had a Gen 2 loaner but a few R1T's to make me jealous of the longer wheelbase ride feel vs the R1S. Crazy how different the feel is between the 2 models on Gen 1.
  2. Finance vs. Lease the R2 -- the math

    How did they ever do f&f leases for sub $500? Crazy pricing
  3. Would you still buy your Rivian today?

    Wish I knew enough to put downpayments on the R1T and R1S. Didn't realize they would do the R1T first and could've driven that for a year and sold it with little to no loss for the R1S. Kudos!
  4. What’s Coming in Rivian’s 2026.15.30 Hotfix

    It's why the apps should be separate from a complete vehicle upgrade. You shouldn't have to wait months because of typical upgrade cadence to address an application issue. I think they just don't have the development talent that Tesla has or the many more years of experience. I still have to...
  5. Why is the R1S so cramped?

    Never drove the Gen 2 but the Gen 1 R1S suspension is hot garbage. Had a Gen 1 R1T loaner the other week and it was so much better because of the wheelbase.
  6. New Qi2 Wireless Charging Pad parts for R1 now available to order for retrofit

    Thanks, I should've known I'm fully obsolete on the Gen 1 :like:
  7. New Qi2 Wireless Charging Pad parts for R1 now available to order for retrofit

    Wonder if it's compatible with Gen 1. I'll ask next week at my service appointment. Would be nice to have a faster wireless charging instead of aftermarket taking up a USB port
  8. R2 Configurator is Live! 🎉 What's your configuration?

    It'll be a smaller battery that will not charge as fast as it's competition unfortunately. Everything about R2 is to reduce costs.
  9. R2 Configurator is Live! 🎉 What's your configuration?

    You won't, expect it to be somewhat decent like the R1.
  10. Rival: 2026 BMW iX3 reviews are impressive... R2 has its work cut out

    To me the R2 driver display is too small in person. Would prefer it to be slightly larger with HUD.
  11. Why is the R1S so cramped?

    Just be happy you have the R1T. The Gen 1 R1S suspension is a joke, even on 20's with the short wheelbase. I wish it was longer! I had a Gen 1 R1T loaner way back (with meridian) and it ruined me going back to the R1S with suspension and audio.
  12. Tall & big people fit in R2 with impressive legroom & headroom (even 7 foot driver / passenger!)

    But can he windmill dunk? I sat in the R2 and the seats are pretty comfy but not wide enough compared to my R1. Back seat leg room was ridiculous though with how much space there is.
  13. Would you go with 20" wheels or 21" wheels on Launch Edition R2?

    Test drove a Gen 1 R1S in Brooklyn on 22's back in 2023 and quickly changed my config to 20's. I can't believe they would even allow test drives on 22's which felt like absolute crap in city driving.
