Agree with everyone about suspension. I don’t want a suspension that is breaking all the time, loud and clunky.
800v+ architecture
Globebox
Gen1 door handles
Lidar and autonomy updates
Heated armrests / panels like BMW
HUD?
Stronger seat ventilation
You know what would be cool? Customer...
I think it’s unclear.
On one hand, it’s not an end-of-quarter month, so no real push.
On the other hand I suspect the 2026’s with NACS and maybe some other small changes come in July (Quad seems close to launch) - so they might push 2025s.
S00n we’ll know.
When you open the frunk, there are panels that go around the edge of the “tub”.
My noises/flutter/rattle came from the panels that lie over the headlights near the latch at the front of the frunk. They forgot to replace the fasteners
2 month wait for service is still bad. I hope they improve QA and add a couple more SoCal Service Centers, and fix things right the first time. All of these are at the root of the service backup.
3 week waits aren’t a good ownership experience, 9 weeks is abysmal.
One of the things I hated about my G1 was clunks, squeaks, and other suspension noises that made it sound like a 25 year old Chevy truck with leaf springs.
I know that the jounce lines and other parts have been redesigned. I really want to pickup a G2 but after so so many issues with G1’s...
It feels to me like Rivian was very clear:
- in their deposit verbiage
- their voucher verbiage
- communicating that they were not going to make a Quad Max Gen 1
- their expectation to use your voucher before the expiration
- communicating that the Quad Gen2 Ascent isn’t coming until 2025

I like the new interiors for the ascent trims, except the bright brown woods on black and slate. I’d really like the option for a dark wood combo.
I’d even consider the non-wood options over the bright browns.
I really, really like the color. Too bad it’s not available with the standard black mountain/black wood interior. I’m not a huge fan of either of the ascend interior options. Wish I could add the plain-ol’-interior.

I’m sure if you roll into the throttle you won’t notice it - but if you stomp it, is there any discernible lag? Didn’t Kyle from out-of-spec mention it when reviewing the dual performance R1T vs his own quad?
They just tried to get me to move my appointment from El Segundo to Eastlake (looks like Ontario area) - saying it’s now open. For what it’s worth.
