  1. I Spent Two Days With Gen-2 R1 Vehicles. Here’s My Thoughts as a Rivian Owner...

    The "not a refresh," refreshed R1 platform is going to make a lot of people mad about some of the previously discussed features no longer coming to 1st gen. Sucks to hear about the sound system. Otherwise, I'm excited to get my second R1T, hopefully this year.
  2. Official: 2025 R1T & R1S Refresh / Facelift (2nd Gen) Specs and Photos! Quad Motor gets 1,025 HP and 0-60 in 2.5 Seconds!!!

    I've got to be honest, I love it. :CWL: Open Questions: Do the cameras have improved resolution? Might be my reading comprehension, but are they stating the OS should run more smoothly with improved compute hardware or just ADAS? Other: Odd they didn't redesign the dagger that is the gear...
  3. EPA Filling for additional 2025 models (R1 Refresh) -- Dual Max, All-Terrain Dual Max, Performance Dual Max, and All-Terrain Performance Dual Max

    Bummed about the charging rates, but very excited about the heat pump. If efficiency is decently improved, that will help cutdown on charging times anyway. Probably not a ton, but I'll take back every 5-10 minutes I can get.
  4. Only 1 R1S left in the shop (CO/NM area) - PRE-REFRESH

    3 R1S and 24 R1T, Texas. Both counts are significantly lower than last Monday when I looked.
  5. New R1 Refresh spotted photos! [Updated w/ New Wheel Aero Covers pic]

    That's fair but I would hate to sacrifice range, more road noise, and cost for this. The original aero wheels looked good enough, I assume these are more efficient but jeez.
  6. New R1 Refresh spotted photos! [Updated w/ New Wheel Aero Covers pic]

    The new aero wheels are not an improvement in attractiveness. Might have to upgrade to the 22s after all.
  7. New R1 Refresh spotted photos! [Updated w/ New Wheel Aero Covers pic]

    I really do not love what they did to the light bar. It now has a bit of a hook design at the end. https://riviantrackr.com/news/first-look-rivian-r1s-refresh-features-detailed-in-fresh-images/ Second photo on this website shows it clearly.
  8. Rivian Scale Model Cars Coming Soon ?

    I'd love an R1T, Rivian Blue, Ocean Coast with the silver rims (or I'll take black as well), assuming price is reasonable. :)
  9. Refresh R1 Colors and Prices (unconfirmed)

    My interest is piqued by the new wood option with the Ocean Coast. Maybe we are finally getting that beautiful golden wood after all.
  10. Kia EV9 Mini (EV3), The Korean R2 ?

    I agree - the price to range value is going to be one of the best in the business. I'm not a huge fan of the designs Kia/Hyundai are using, and I do prefer the R2 by a good margin, this looks to be a fantastic offering nonetheless. R2/R3 is going to face some stiff competition indeed. But we...
  11. R1 Refresh Question

    If you aren't price sensitive, just wait. Worst case you're going to get some really solid upgrades with a higher price. Sounds like at least a more efficient vehicle with a new camera system and heat pump. If you are budget cautious, someone posted a rumor of something happening for memorial...
  12. Prices lowered on R1T and R1S inventory (5/23/24)

    I agree with @Dark-Fx that .99% apr is possible. I can also see them dropping prices to an absurd level just to get rid of the inventory so they can show off the refresh. Sales seem to have slowed so much, especially with the R1T, that they must just ready to rip the band aid off. Plus...
  13. 2025 Standard Pack LFP Battery EPA Test data released. Heat pump confirmed

    This is definitely what it feels like. Q2 is a wash, get rid of the v1 inventory. Hope the refresh will entice buyers for Q4 and bet on a better macroeconomic environment in H1 25. It makes sense that Rivian guided basically zero growth this year. Perfect time to just shut down the plant and...
  14. 2025 Standard Pack LFP Battery EPA Test data released. Heat pump confirmed

    And if they are going to keep the currently poor Max Pack pricing structure, offering 800v charging capabilities, among a few other features, could help better justify the cost difference. If the vehicles are that much more efficient I could see range estimates staying the same, especially for...
  15. 2025 Standard Pack LFP Battery EPA Test data released. Heat pump confirmed

    Thankfully, as expected. Very welcome and great to hear. Still holding out hope that they've modified it somewhat because it's both loud and inefficient. I'm still on team 800v, but it will be an upsell for more $$$ trims.
  16. YouTube App and Google Cast video streaming coming to Rivian infotainment system

    This is better than I thought it would be. My guess then is that the talks that rivian is having with apple are in regards to something similar then.
  17. Rivian R1S at Google I/O today

    Google maps and voice assistant would be extremely ideal as a native set of apps. I'd take AA, too.
  18. all EV stock jumped +10%

    This needs to happen on all imports if the goal is to revitalize the US automotive industry. The tariffs levied on imported EVs from China mean next to nothing. The rumors have always been that Chinese manufacturers like BYD will build in Mexico and ship to the US from there. Of course, Ford...
  19. Tesla is backtracking and hiring some people back for the supercharger team(s)

    If I were one of these people, I'd take the job back and immediately start applying to other roles. Extremely disappointing from all sides.
