Don’t like regen, don’t buy an EV. At least adjust the regen setting and learn to modulate your right foot. Not hard.

I’m more worried about your skin!

I’m in exactly the same boat. Decided to hold out for the R3X as that’s really the one I want. Carvana is getting our R1T today. It’ll be the end of our Rivian journey for now.

Doesn’t come with a flame thrower so I’m out ….

Buy it with cash then you can sell it whenever you want. That way you are not paying interest to anyone (admittedly you forgo interest, less tax, on $60k) and you have the car you want. I know someone will say ..."yes but you take all the depreciation hit" ... you don't really, that's kind of...

Absolutely love the FE interior on my LE Green R1T. It’s just a nice contrast to either black or white.

It's in the ball park. Efficiency is pretty good. That's all that matters to me. Don't stress about every single mile/kw because a headwind, extra weight, slightly heavy right foot and it all changes anyway. Don't overthink it.

How else do you get the costs down without removing stuff like that? If you want it, you gotta pay for it. Seems reasonable to me.

Yep. And the Red too.

Its 2026... every experience is now done vicariously through a YouTube 'influenza'. Come on, get with it man. I'm ready to move on to the R3 already.

I was think ing the R2 Truck should have just a front row bench seat and no second seats, but then I'm not sure the EV works truck has much of a market. The F150 Lightning sucked at that (not least on cost comparison vs ICE F150). The R2X however... that could be like the Rubicon of the range...

There’s a dude somewhere on here that does all this witchcraft with audio. A while back he showed us a bunch of tests and charts he did on the Gen1 Meridian and I just copied that. It’s brilliant. perhaps he can help/advise?

And the guys in the dealership and like “whatever”. funny if he got a ticket for parking that thing there.

How many 21" options you got?

Light colours nearly always more expensive than dark on cars (don't know why) but at least dark doesn't show the dirt as bad. Perhaps it ages better too?
