Rivian is very conservative with their driveline tuning IMO. They don't want a bunch of driveline warranty repairs. Main reason why they eliminated "tank turn". Telling one motor/wheel to turn a particular RPM "at all costs", aka "locked differential", put's an incredible amount of strain on the...

Yikes, even more testing showing the Rivian is hobbled in a lot of scenarios. Floored on a flat surface with three wheels on rollers... and the 4th motor/wheel isn't even/barely doing anything. Pretty awful/SUPER conservative programming.

Air suspensions are garbage and always a ticking time bomb. Wait until these Rivians go out of warranty.

Just for comparison, with USAA, my 2023 Raptor that cost $92K is $800/6 months with USAA and with the same coverage level, an R1S is $1,200/6 months.

The tire size was more about off-roading, which I do a lot of. Tire size actually makes quite a difference when you get into hard stuff. The other part to that is the tires on the Rivian are already basically maxing out the wheel well from factory. A large negative if you wish to go larger tires...

Ya I've been on a waiting list for two years just to "bash" Rivian. I can't help it some people can't take criticism of their new toy. You bought one so ya, it's the greatest thing ever made!

Yes, a car person knows there is more to an overall vehicle than just straight line speed. I've owned both ICE and EV's that thrash a Rivian in both acceleration and certainly turning. The Rivian is "peppy", but by no means anything special this day and age. Only pedestrians like you who've...

Only going to get worse as our society gets more and more narcissistic.

Is Rivian still preventing deliveries from addresses that are "too far" from service centers?

The real moral of the story is that no one gives two shits about you or your property this age.

I have a July to September expected delivery. I don't have a "guide" to ask for access to the R1 shop. How do you even get a guide?

I've owned tons of sports/luxury cars and would like to post some of my thoughts after looking over and driving the R1S. I've had one on reserve for a couple years now, with the R1S going to be my primary vehicle. A lot of the comments will be versus my current 2023 Ford F150 Raptor with the 37"...

Pretty funny legacy auto makers have had ACC figured out for over a decade and Rivians acts like it's programmed by a 5th grader.

My Ford Raptor also does this.

Yikes, 335 miles with 20" Max Pack dual is terrible.

Very interesting they use a variable low range gearing. IMO Rivians problem why it sometimes has problems even on mundane obstacles.

Wow 229 kWh.

You better tell Rivian to remove the word "customer" from all of their publications for reservation holders, oh and also change their email address. :angel:

Since he put a deposit down, I would disagree.

So do you get an email when you get R1S shop access or do you have to constantly check your Rivian account?
