I completely disagree. I just purchased a Kia EV9 GT in addition to my R1S and the CarPlay is WAY better than having to pay for Rivian's Connect+ in order to listen to music (Spotify, Apple Music, Audible, etc). The wireless CP sounds just as good, if not better, in the EV9 compared to the R1S...
R1S windshield got a rock chip within a month here in Idaho where we have a lot of construction, road work and big haul trucks that do not cover their loads. It is a common problem here, but that said my Tesla has been hit many times without chipping, maybe luck??
After Safelite, glued the...
I had the XC90 hybrid with the B&O sound which really spoiled me forever. The R1s drives much better and is more spacious. Safety wise, I would say they are equal with the R1S having the battery weight distribution being a huge advantage and it being over engineered, it performs excellent in...
Safelite fixed my rock chip, but it was still kinda visible. But a few days later a couple rocks caused several more cracks including one near the cameras. The Rivian service manager said the the passenger side camera (in the center) is a long distance camera that is not even being used by the...
SO I tried these EQ settings and YES it does sound much better. Thank you for the work you did and for sharing with us. Usually typical EQ settings are raised on the low end and high end in a more V shape, but that actually makes the Rivian sound worse and since I prefer a strong bass I wouldn't...
Thank you for this write up and sharing your findings. I was really looking forward to the Meridian Sound system and was annoyed that Rivian dropped that to save some money without offering an optional upgrade. My Volvo XC90 had a B&O sound system that was beyond anything I've ever experienced...
Yes, when I cancelled my R1T pre-order the credit went back on my credit card within a month, I believe. and it was $900 since $100 was non-refundable.
Same here! Picked up our R1S a couple days ago (9/28/23) and it is awesome! Way better than any other vehicle we have ever owned and ZERO complaints so far. It was worth the 2 year wait. Love it.
Just picked up Compass Yellow R1S, Adventure Package, LG Pack, Quad-Motor, 22" Sport Dark, Reinforced Underbody Shield, Ocean Coast + Dark Ash Wood interior from Boise, ID Service Center. It was available on the Shop and basically the same configuration that we were to get in Sept-Dec except we...
No Powered Tonneau cover is a real deal breaker for me. The manual and none option is as well.
My delivery is not scheduled until next summer (2023), so I'm hoping that they come up with a replacement by then. If not, I will be switching to the R1S or something else.
The New Chevy Silverado...
Now that my R1T delivery estimate is July - September 2023, I wonder if they will have a new Powered Tonneau options available by then...? I'm really bummed that they removed it as that was one of the features I was really looking forward to. Maybe this is a good delay...
The stock is going to plummet tomorrow on this.... I think pre-orders should have been locked in at the price they order it at and new orders go in at the new price. That's how they should have handled this.
But then again they can't even get their marketing together. The idea of their community...
I bought the 175 shares @ $78 ($13,650). Sold 69 shares @ $115 (-$7,935), leaving me with 106 shares at a cost of $5,715, or $53.9115/share.
Essentially taking the profit on the 69 shares to bring my cost average down, so now I'll let those ride and feel comfortable when the price drops. I...
