So excited for this to get on the market. 18-24 months feels like forever away. I hope the production ramp is really smooth and that maybe Rivian is getting some guidance on that end.

It's Chevy Equinox EV in the front and new Toyota Prius in the back, both of which I think are good looking cars in their own right. It's a nice modernization of an aging design that needed some love. Competition will come down to price, range, and availability. Tesla will have these fully...

I've enjoyed the car so far but I will say this: the software is absolutely dreadful, which is why I'm guessing this partnership will be a win for VW too. Did you have any other issues with yours?

This is what I expected when I heard. I'm sure VW is helping Rivian with their factory problems as well. And before anyone makes a joke, my VW ID4 is 3 yrs old and has 50k miles on it. No build quality or reliability issues, and no rattles have developed. From a manufacturing perspective, VW...

As someone who owns an ID4, thank God.

No problem. I am hoping those crazy suspension issues are behind us. I was always afraid something would break apart eventually. Let me know what you think once you test drive.

Thanks everyone for the questions. Hopefully I got them all below, but If i missed yours please quote me and re-ask. I would not pay to upgrade unless there's something you really don't like about gen 1. It's a more polished vehicle, yes, but not worth tens of thousands of dollars of lost...

I remember my gen 1 taking a while to cool down also. It was one of the things I noted in my review all the way back in 2022: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/first-7-days-a-lot-of-good-not-so-good-questions-on-potential-issues.8810/

11.1 to 9.8, around 12% smaller. Not a dealbreaker by any means and it's absolutely useful still. I'd argue a small trade for a heat pump. I hear the argument that people don't use their frunks, that's only because they aren't automatic and useful the way Rivian's frunks are. I used my R1T's...

Rivian needs to improve communication here. Because some employees I've asked thought it was the same system with Dolby Atmos added. I've been told different answers on whether or not the hardware which operates the infotainment screen has been upgraded as well. I believe the answer is that...

I believe more stitching and additional soft touch surfaces, but the same materials. The electrochromic glass roof and Rivian premium audio (former base sound system) are included. They don't have a gen 2 adventure trim to look at, so it's hard to compare side-by-side. Austin

Thanks, I didn't realize that. My 2022 still had it so I wasn't sure.

Got to take the gen 2 R1S out on a 15 minute test drive. As a previous quad motor R1T owner, I wanted to share some thoughts on some of the positive and some things that were a bit of a bummer. Good stuff: Motor whine is essentially gone and you can really only hear it when you open the...

+1 Google Maps, please.

I recommend using this tool to help: https://abetterrouteplanner.com/ Here are the places from STL to Springfield that you could stop and fast charge at: Electrify America - Sullivan (350 Park Ridge Road, Sullivan, Missouri, 63080, US) EV Connect - Don Vance Dodge/Chrysler - Marshfield (285...

Well, the space did a soft opening today and it's very cool! I've been to a couple of other Rivian Spaces (NYC and Venice) and the Austin location is the best yet. It's three levels, with a patio overlooking downtown. It's connected directly to the Lady Bird trail and they even have Level 2...

Hey Scott - love what you do with your channel. Did you get an invite to the reveal? If anyone should get a chance to go to those events, it's absolutely you, based on all of the good stuff you are creating and the visibility you are bringing to the brand.

But there's still a performance dual motor, which seems like it would fit that bill already.

It was a bit weird listening to the engineer explain why there are dual, tri, and quad motor setups. Seems overly complex and unnecessary. Quad for best off roading and to beat the cybertruck 0-60, dual for best efficiency. What exactly does the tri motor provide? I would rather they have...

I noticed this with the base dual motor max pack config. The wheels look nice, but am confused because it states 420 miles of range for both those and the new aero wheels.
