  1. Florida Sold: 2023 Blue R1S Launch Edition Quad Large Battery 22" Sport Bright 5k miles

    Original owner, excellent condition inside and out. Full front factory PPF (by Rivian) and all windows fully tinted. Includes Rivian all weather mats and regular mats. One of the last 2023's that comes with 12V in the Frunk and in the back. Camp speaker included but never used. Rivian charger...
  2. Connect+.... I call bullshit

    I strongly believe this OEM trend towards subscriptions is not the way to go outside of areas where it is clear that a service costs the OEM money on a monthly basis - i.e., LTE. What really, really, bothers me about what Rivian has done with Connect+ is the following: 1) Alexa no longer works...
  3. MagSafe Charging Pad - Yet another design

    Thanks for sharing the STL file! I just printed on my AnkerMake M5C with PETG and it came out beautifully. It doesn't quite fit my JSAUX MagSafe chargers but a little bit of dremel work and all was good. Appreciate your sharing this with the community and it's one of the better solutions that...
  4. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    I had a Harmon Kardon system in an Audi some time ago that was the best system ever. A recent Lexus had a Mark Levinson system that also sounded quite good. However, keeping in mind that both of these vehicles were far smaller than the Rivian, they had some natural advantages of sounding better.
  5. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    Looks like I'm going to have to keep it and hope the issues get resolved at the service center. Why? First, I have a great finance rate which has since expired and returning will cause my existing loan to close out and a new one (with the increased rate) opened. Second, I'll lose the $7500 EV...
  6. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    I have to admit that after some tweaking, I find the system acceptable. It's not great and I would never call it "premium", but it's not terrible or something that I view as a negative.
  7. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    The process before they even brought the vehicle was to accept it via the app. As I look back on it all, that was a mistake and I should not have done that. I'm still debating on the return as the Guide cannot confirm that I will still get pre-order pricing and it messes up a very favorable...
  8. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    That would definitely not be an April build. It's not your Guide's fault as they have no real details. If they unmatch you I would think they put you at the the top of the list but who knows - this is Rivian after all.
  9. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    My SC does provide loaners but it would not be a Rivian from what they tell me. I'd rather have them pick it up as I have a spare vehicle, but they charge for that now.
  10. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    I had thought the same thing and even told myself, well you get the extra 12V outlet in the Frunk and the Meridian sound. However, after my experience, I would not even wait to see that vehicle before I rejected it.
  11. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    I swear that the SC didn't really do anything with the car as they seemed pretty slammed. They are obviously trying to deliver as many vehicles as possible. My 2016 Tesla had a bunch of issues but the Tesla SC held the car back for a week to fix some paint issues before delivery which I...
  12. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    As far as I read, the changes were the 3-point belt and a design change on the floor of the driver's side. Certainly not something that is overly concerning for me at this point and I've gotten my wife more comfortable with it as well. Right now the panel issues are the most glaring and I'll be...
  13. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    I did end up spending time in the vehicle today and played around with the sound equalizer. Definitely made a significant improvement in the sound quality. I'd say it's on par with the Meridian I had in the Jaguar IPace.
  14. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    It's good to hear that they did actually replace the tailgate for you, but it taking a month would have made me crazy!
  15. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    The biggest factor in having this conversation with them is the fact that they told me it was a different build date and the guide assured me they would take it back. Still a pain to go through the hassle, but at these prices (even pre-increase) they shouldn't be delivering vehicles like this.
  16. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    Definitely this is more physchological than anything else. Whether the 22 or the 23, the R1S is till a really safe vehicle. I keep trying to tell my wife this.... hoping she will come around!
  17. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    And I unfortunately didn't have the time to properly check things out before leaving. It is very unfortunate that they continue to let defects like this through. But hopefully they can be fixed.
  18. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    An excellent point and one that I will point out to my wife who is the one more bothered by it than I am. For me, the alignment issues were a bigger deal but not a show stopper.
  19. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    Good to know you had something worse that got corrected! The service center is pretty far away from me but not awful.
  20. Finally took delivery but might turn it back in

    My guide assured me that if I returned it within the 7-day window because of these issues I could get back on the list for a different one. Will only know if that was accurate should I try to return it!
