Thanks for this! Do you have a link to the Amazon listing? And are the side walls mesh-only, or do they close up?

Almost every Rivian owner I know in the San Jose/San Francisco area has had a bad service experience, whether it's because it took 3 months to get an appointment or because they got the vehicle back without everything addressed. There are enough accounts of quality-control issues and bad service...

Whenever the release notes mention improvements specific to Large or Max packs, those of us with Large+ are like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 🤣

Welp…

That’s great, seriously, but given the sheer number of complaints about software issues here and elsewhere, it’s hard to argue that the software is fine and anyone having problems must have some issues unique to them ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Echoing this, CarPlay on the Mach-E isn’t “Ultra” but it’s pretty great. And – funny, given the early criticisms of Apple Maps – navigation in CarPlay is so much better than Rivian’s mapping, in terms of both routing and the overall UI. Can’t wait for EVPlay.

I’d be happy with Rivian just getting a lot closer to Blue Cruise and Super Cruise. It’s slowly getting better, but Blue Cruise still feels safer and smoother. (I don’t have experience with Super Cruise but the consensus seems to be that it’s pretty comparable.)

Welcome to Rivian ownership. (Sorry, that’s snarky, but service is by far the worst part of owning a Rivian. Many service centers will keep your vehicle for weeks before they even start working on it. They don’t yet have the capacity and logistical expertise to function like the established car...

Yeah, being able to charge to 100% regularly is a huge benefit—I feel like I’m getting most of the benefit of having the Max (assuming I’d charge a Max to only ~80% normally) for a lot less money 🤣

If I were betting, I’d bet the Large+ has the same config as the Max, since it’s supposedly a Max configuration they just software locked.

I haven’t really paid much attention to efficiency, sorry! Is there a way to tell which motor is in the back?

We've had a Large+ for about six months. We charge to 100% frequently, but I don't think there's any way to know (yet) if it's adversely affecting the battery. I'm choosing to trust Rivian's statements that it's "safe" to charge to 100% with the Large+ :)

CarPlay/AA, physical controls for important features, and faster charging are clear advantages for Hyundai/Kia/Genesis. Kudos.

To be fair, "serious" is subjective. What I consider serious (not being able to use the front passenger seat because of a problem with the door) isn't serious enough for Rivian (San Jose area) to get us in sooner than 3.5 months ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Ugh, this happened to me earlier this week. Someone scratched our R1S and when I went to look at the videos, everything from that day was “Video Error.” All other days are working fine :(

IMO the biggest issue, by far, is service -- both the capacity for providing service and the quality of service. Our R1S had numerous issues at pickup. They weren't enough to refuse delivery, and we expected some minor things -- in our experience every new vehicle, no matter the price, has some...

Yeah, I preordered as soon as I got the email that the site was working again and I'm 2908 -- did not expect that!

I don’t think that’s a thing but I’d love to learn otherwise!

I also have the BestEV locking drawer. It works great, though it’s a shame the unlock button is buried so deep in the Rivian UI

FWIW, here in the Bay Area that seems to be an option only if there’s a major safety issue — the SJ service center just doesn’t have the capacity.
