Selected an R1S Quad from the shop. At the risk of jinxing things, ~2.5 months and ~1,200mi later, no significant issues. Had one interior trim piece defect addressed with mobile service last month.

I wonder if they also have some knowledge of what percentage of Tesla owners (nearly) exclusively charge at superchargers. Maybe this is Rivian's way to try to attract them to the brand before full supercharger access is available early next year. Less brand damage offering a charger...

That basically means switching modes when the new gauge screen shows no activity at the wheel motors (irrespective of where the accelerator pedal may be), correct? If so, that's a little counter-intuitive because the accelerator pedal will likely be depressed and/or you could be on cruise...

It seems like the range estimates she got were fairly consistently optimistic by ~15%. Although, that doesn't mean much considering I don’t know what the elevation change was between stops and how fast she was driving.

I concur!

@Bman03 no affiliation, but this one seems close to what you're looking for (Launch; 20" rims; 23k miles; $67k) https://sfbay.craigslist.org/eby/cto/d/dublin-2022-rivian-r1t/7676865293.html

I’m surprised to see the exterior and interior selections as no-cost options. I thought LA Silver and BM interior were the only no-cost ones

For San Jose, CA, I think the issue is that the building Rivian is using for their service center is zoned "Light Industrial" which does not allow for the site to be used as an auto dealer. They could apply for a conditional use permit for the purpose of indoor retail sale, but the conditions it...

Just to clarify, I'm not the OP. I happily took delivery of my R1S about a month ago. I just felt it was important to defend the OP's right to critique Rivian/the R1S without having some forum members be so dismissive.

It looks like you started drafting your response while I was still editing mine...clearly I need to read through things a few extra times before posting... I agree that my first statement around Carplay/massaging seats was a little flawed. What I meant was it's not unreasonable for someone to...

The "homeless people" critique was specific to the overall buying experience Rivian is offering. Quite honestly, I'm not a fan of that test drive location either and believe Rivian needs to find a better solution. As a shareholder and owner, they should improve on that part of the experience if...

I'm disappointed in the folks on this thread criticizing the OP for sharing their negative experience -- basically saying that since the vehicle isn't right for the OP, there isn't a point in providing that perspective. Have you told other people on this forum that they shouldn't post their...

In support of @BigGreenR1S the worst part of the buying experience for me was by far the test drive at Flickinger Park in San Jose (but it sounds like you got a better Rivian rep than I did). That park is definitely in one of the sketchier parts of San Jose. Granted I had the first test drive...

Yeah, to get my $0.28 "off-peak" rate (from 12am-3pm), I have to stomach a $0.59 peak rate from 4-9pm (and then $0.48 for the rest of the time).

I'm certainly not mad, just extremely jealous! Admittedly, having never lived outside of CA, I never really looked into the kWh rates of other states (it's not something you can easily see just driving down the road). Not surprisingly, CA has some of the highest rates in the country (and the...

$0.11/kWh is crazy inexpensive! The lowest I can get my PG&E rate to is $0.28/kWh using their EV TOU plan. And here I thought that the $0.17/kWh I pay up in Tahoe was cheap...

Here’s a photo to help…

Assuming similar EPA efficiency numbers to the dual motor large pack (2.32mi/kWh), you're looking at a pack with ~20 extra kWh for $10k. On the surface, that doesn't seem like great value...especially considering the Department of Energy shows that costs have gotten below $200/kWh...

I agree with blind spot cameras. My other top 2 are being able to set a different liftgate height (I’ve got a low clearance garage and it’s an accident waiting to happen) and more settings tied to driver profile (drive mode preferences, music presets, etc.).

Does anyone know what the process is like if you also have a Tesla? I've got an early one with unlimited supercharging, and the UI doesn't look like the screenshots that @MidnightRivian showed. Do I need to create a new Rivian-specific Tesla account?
