My pre-order is also earlier. I have a first half of 2024 delivery date, the same time as new orders. It is what it is.

Actually, I didn't like the Lucid.

I had a preorder discount of 10k, they offered an additional 7.5k discount and I may have been able to still take the 7.5 tax break but the wife got tired of waiting for everything and I had to buy a MYP. It should come in next week. Not my cup of tea.

I recently cancelled my order for a Lucid. I could tell they were in trouble. I think I could have gotten 25k off a new Lucid but I still didn't want to do it. I really thought about short selling it.

Nov 2021 R1S Explore Base $70k. Now forced into Adventure for $5500 more I originally had the Explorer Base but changed it to accommodate my wife. My wife couldn't handle the wait and we are due for a MYP in the next couple of weeks. Shure wish I had the Explorer Base now. I had a early...

My young wife got tired of waiting for my R1S, which would have been hers, so we bought her a Tesla Y performance. At least I now get to choose the options on the R1S. I had a C8, should have kept it. My daughter threw a fit as there was no place for her. I liked the sound of the C8. I am...

Wow. I have a 12/14/21 order date and I am still listed for the first quarter of 24. They sell it to you at less than it cost to make. Don't be silly take the money. T

Good idea. I looked at a few hitch extenders. Something might work. Thanks.

I have the following bike rack. It looks like I will not be able to open the top hatch with bikes or maybe even open the bottom hatch with the hitch attached. Yakima HoldUp 2-Bike Hitch Rack

I'm no spring chicken either. I test drove a Tesla and it made me sick. I may have to drive the R1S in snow mode on low regen but I am going to take delivery. You can always try it and if you don't like it, sell it.

IMHO as a R1S reservation holder, my opinion is valid for a category for those of us who have orders and will purchase the vehicle but have not taken delivery.

No. I am retired and can't take full advantage of the outdoor prowess of the R1. I thought it would be great to have something that outperformed all the cars of my youth. I test drove the Y preperformance and got motion sickness. Now I imagine driving in Southern Cal in snow mode. I just...

Maybe they met the production quota at the expense of R1S.

I agree. There is a microphone above the rear view mirror. I am wondering if that can be used for active noise cancellation. I have asked if they can add active noise cancellation. That can be done if the rivian had an aux port.

How does it feel on dry pavement? Does it feel like there is less regen being applied?

I can see why some or even most people would enjoy or not mind the noise of the rear engine and also they would love the regen on standard or high. I have grown more sensitive to some noises and some types of motion over the years. I live in Southern California where most people speed up to a...

I went for a test ride in a R1S on 12/3/2022. I had previously driven a R1T on full regen. The noise from the rear electric motors was too loud for me. I wish I had tried it in conserve mode. I drove the R1S on standard Regen as I got motion sickness when I test drove a Tesla. I drove the...

Same here.

I'm not as old as your uncle but I have become more sensitive to motion sickness over time. I rode the wild mouse at Coney Island long ago and loved it. I have been a wild man in cars and on my many motorcycles but not any more. I just couldn't keep the front wheels on the ground. I have...

If you think so. I easy found the steady state on the Tesla where you maintain the same speed. That is not coasting. I was refering to the experience as you come up to a stop sign and the car will come up to a complete stop. I found that very unpleasent. Some people have a hard time finding...
