Same here, but more for interior space and usability (maybe, we shall see when R1S rows are finaly explained). I would go for the Nav though... 30 way seats are one thing I would have liked Rivian to get from Ford.
Just chiming in for the R1S crowd here: with Ford saying many of the F-150’s parts are shared between the ICE and Lighting versions and judging from the Lightning frame pictures circulating… It doesn't seem like that much of an investment would be required to make electric Expeditions and...
Jeep posted a video of the 2nd and 3rd row in their new Grand Cherokee L in early April... Didnt seem that hard to do
It shows 27 secs in that it will have the feature some children car seat users like me desire: 3rd row access with car seats installed (same on the 2nd row bench version). As...
I sent an e-mail to CS this week to see if Canadian customers could pay in USD (I think it had been asked before, I thought maybe I would get something new)...Got the standard your guide will tell you answer. I doubt it will get much better than. 1.23, maybe 1.21. I might transfer the amount...
Other: If the R1S interior ends up being impractical, it will be a Navigator for me. Hopefully the 2022 will be available as a PHEV…If not, it will mean 4 more years of ICE for me.
Yes, agreed. I would even venture Town of Mount Royal has one of the highest MS/MX ownership rates on the planet. Fertile grounds for R1S sales for sure even if Im wrong. I’m hoping Rivian set up around the Tesla shop.
Hey Leo,
Thanks for the post: too late to save me any hassle, I have been obsessed with the issue and pestering this forum and every Rivian CS rep since Feb 2019
Agreed for the X: too expensive for too little interior space. Members here questioned my considering of the Hummer SUV at a 24K...
Short version: Absolutely nothing. As it stands, on paper, the R1S is a much better deal and it seems it will remain the only non-gullwing door game in town for a 7 passenger BEV.
Long rant:
I am just trying to get a 6 passenger+ electric SUV that my family of 6 will fit in (without gull wing...
Just placed a reservation for a 1st edition Hummer EV SUV in case the R1S third row ends up unusable for my needs.
Am I understanding right GM opted to offer the SUV as a 5-seater only? I don’t see any mention of a third row anywhere…
I dont think this was posted anywhere before, sorry if it was: I asked CS yesterday what NEMA adaptors would come with/ be available for purchase for the included portable charger: was told it would come with 5-15 and 14-50, no other adaptors available at first.
Also asked if Rivian branded...
Yes. As the car seat obsessed member here, I was hoping that this was finally going to be the big reveal... Still interesting though... the second row of these pre-production units seems like it could be a 3 piece vs 60/40...
Not all of them. Quebec-Levis and Sorel-Tracy–Saint-Ignace-de-Loyola are free, but not the Matane-Baie-Comeau-Godbout (60% off for electrics).
With about 5$ saved per crossing, and, in my case, a few crossings per decade, I think I would prefer a large tax credit ;-)
All kidding aside, I think...
Yes, but that doesn’t mean much as the job offers until recently had mostly been only for the design and manufacturing locations (Vancouver being one of them). It makes sense that the Canadian retail sites will be the last to hire (deliveries will start later here).
I really wonder if they will...
Interesting that the rear assembly line sill guards seem to be a bit off (look at the RL one, you can see the red difference with the opening). Probably from the R1T line? Could mean the R1S test line literally just started.
