It is a 7,000 lb suv so it wasn't meant for high speed slalom. I'm pretty sure every large suv probably would've behaved similarly.

+1 extended warranty. Anytime you buy an expensive vehicle (to fix), you either get out when the warranty expires or buy some additional coverage. Otherwise, prepare to deal with some significant bills.

There's only one M3 and it's made by BMW.

Playing devil's advocate, but if discount tire was the only one to touch the tire, how do you know it wasn't them that damaged it? I suppose if the vehicle was never touched by anyone other than Rivian and you discover some damage, you could claim that's the way it was delivered. On an...

Title says "maintenance costs pricing is high" then "I'm not complaining about costs?" EV maintenance costs are a fraction of ICE vehicles. R1S is my 5th EV and in my other EV's, which were all 3 year leases, only costs were tire rotation and maybe cabinet air filters (Chevy wanted $120 for...

I don't go to the Grove that often and I'm not sure how much the "Caruso Signature" membership will cost, but "free" parking anywhere in L.A. is great.

Satisfaction is tied to expectation and some people have unrealistic expectations. Not saying OP falls into this category, but if you have realistic expectations, you won't be upset with real world outcomes. My other car at this moment is a Porsche and I will admit they're willing to bend over...

I've leased several cars in my life and most of the time the residual price (for EV's) is set artificially high to lower the monthly payments. If the purchase price exceeds the market value of the vehicle, which I'm assuming is true in this case, might be better off buying a used vehicle along...

I believe that's the same Venice location I saw the R1S in person for the first time.

R1S was, and still is, the only EV SUV with enough room in the back to haul the stuff I need and also have off road capabilities. There might be 3 row EV SUVs and EV SUVs that are off road capable, but only the R1S has both. The irony is I have yet to take the R1S for an off road shakedown...

TLDR In other industries it's called paralysis by analysis.

I think it's 5 years required for section 179, which means at least 2.5 more years, but I'll probably keep it a little longer unless something major happens with Rivian or the car. It's been great so far and I have less than 11k miles on it.

I've owned EV's since 2011. Gas prices go up and down. We don't need to post "worst time to own an EV" when gas prices decrease either.

R1S is my 5th EV. Previous 4 were 3 year leases and none required 12v replacement. Rivian did proactively replace the 12v during the 7,500 mile service, but I didn't have any issues before or since.

"It's really annoying to have to wait for kneeling to happen." When I arrive at my destination, I push the park button, grab my stuff, open the door and get out. I think by the time I'm stepping out the vehicle has kneeled or is in the process of kneeling. It's amazing the things that annoy...

Be patient. Rivian is still a "new" company so complaining like "my (fill in legacy automaker) does/or doesn't (fill in the blank)..." doesn't really help anything. I'm sure Rivian is trying its best and in my 2+ years of ownership, I haven't experienced anything that's led me to believe...

Congrats. My 2023 QM AT is at less than 11k miles so it'll be years before it reaches six figures, but it's nice to know others are putting serious miles on theirs without issues.

Regardless how much we paid for our Rivians or the deals we got, it's a $100k+ vehicle so yes people are going to think it's for the "rich." Especially if they're salty because they can't afford one. However, "rich" is subjective. One man's rich is another man's poor.
