That's a great thing. Bring back the 70s and color instead of all this grayscale crap.

Buy a vehicle for what it has at time of purchase. If it gets better like Rivians and Tesla do, great. If it doesn't, don't act surprised or disappointed.

Great solution for the pricing / market R2 is in. Still will use way more than other Frunk solutions. However, likely not as much as R1's. I use them almost all trips in buth truck and suv. Perfect space for almost everything. Having 2 golf bags up front is a game changer.

Overall if Rivian was a mature company with + cash flow, they would have an SXL based on R1T chasis. They are not and most people prefer smaller so thats what we got.

I have been converted to the touchscreen controls for vents with the 2 settings. 2 easy touch and air is on me for hot days or in surround for mild days. Had to fiddle with my manual vent car and couldn't get it just right lol.

I like driving performance over a stupid screen any day. Should we have choice, maybe if it doesn't slow down the head unit. All my cars with carplay/auto have terrible responsiveness. Not one passenger has ever complained about functionality. My only gripe was voice text which has now...

I have a feeling the $4k I paid for each of my R1's ext wty will be a great investment. I'm keeping them for the long term as meet all of my needs in a vehicle. Hell, my mom got over $10k out of hers on a Ford Escape (engine and transmission), her ext wty was only $2.2k so hard to get that...

Long live Compass and Canyon

I love EV's, as I have 5 for the family but I love all the ICE stuff as well that many EV folks don't. Just like driving with crazy acceleration, amazing tech, free due to solar and the less maintenance. So besides a Bronco and Supercharged SS Ive fully switched. However, I admit that Im sort...

Wow, lots of new to Rivian folks in this thread, which is great to see. Once they killed Compass Yellow and Canyon Red the color selection has been poor. Also, paint has always been expensive.

Alexa has always worked for my phone calls, to play music, and to bright / dim screens / turn on off lights etc. So overall pretty happy with it, ut definitely jist a little better than prior vehicles native systems. My 23 etron wasn't as good but just my experience. Now Android Auto is a...

I think a simple software,On / Off for Plug n Charge would resolve all these issues. Apologies if exists and haven't looked for it. However, if it did / does exist than many would complain Plug N charge doesn’t work 😀

I bet R1S had 22's. Once switched out to 20's got a lot closer to my R1T.

All great points. Tesla's are definitely "appliances", we love M3 for my son and cheap road trips. They just don't have the features for what I would want in a daily. Rivian features + Comma AI is perfect for me and what I believe most people would need, unless you truly dislike driving...

Interesting a few have Atmos off. Thats the best feature of Rivian audio from my perspective and my passengers. Not all songs but for many really brings them to life.
