Very cool! A Rivian in a country other than the US or Canada. I’m curious, does your car’s internet connection work? What about GPS?

No problems here. I was “testing” the acceleration yesterday. Still crazy fast. Made my wife sick to her stomach. She said “who knew I needed to take a Dramamine when I got into your car”.

Here’s mine…

Nice! I like how it looks like the black roof.

Wow. I actually have a small factory defect on the back window in my new R1S. I have an appointment on 1/16 to have it looked at. I’ll be curious to see what they say. I am very concerned that if these repairs are as high as some of the reports are, we are in for major increases to our insurance...

Ridiculous. No wonder my insurance premiums are through the roof!

I totally agree. There is inherent huge value in Rivian’s R&D. I also think the brand has tremendous value, especially because it appeals to younger people. The brand certainly differentiates itself from the other EVs out there. Other EVs all seem to be the same (and look very similar) while...

When saying that there is a whole lot of inventory on Rivian's lots, I think that it is important to take into account that Rivian only has 30 dealerships in the US and Canada. I would assume with so few dealerships there would be a lot of cars on the lots at all times waiting to be delivered to...

Ballpark cost?

I was wondering about that. I would imagine the parts would be outrageous. I’m going to go to a high end car stereo store to see what they say. I’ll report back.

I thought both systems had a sub. If they don’t that explains a lot.

I really love my R1S and I have very few complaints but one glaring weakness is the quality of the sound system. I have the in-house developed system, not the Meridian one. I have played with the equalizer and the various settings, but the stereo sounds flat and muddy. Has anyone looked into...

This looks like the best option. I purchased it and found the following video which shows how to install it. Thanks for the advice!

I know that Rivians have a lot of power outlets. However, I wish they had on near/under/on the dash. I was curious if I was not seeing one, so I looked in the Owner’s Guide and on page 223 it shows a diagram of all USB-C, 12V and 120V outlets in the car. It actually shows one below the center...

I would think that this could be mitigated with software improvements and program changes to the R1S’s sophisticated suspension.

I‘ve only had my R1S for a few weeks, but I have been very, very impressed. Besides the over the top performance, I have been really pleased with the fit and finish and quality materials used, especially in the interior. The technology is also first rate. I have driven many exotic cars and I...

I am having problems with my liftgate. After each update, it unlatches but it does not open. I had to do a software reboot to make it work. Even when it is working, its really sensitive. If it senses the least bit of "resistance" (like your finger still on the button) it will not open.

What a great trip. I would love to do something like that one day. I think every American should experience the country by seeing it first hand. You have also proved that EVs CAN make long trips. I just got my R1S two weeks ago and I’ve been thinking about a road trip. You’ve given me the...

That was a weird reveal. It was super dark and you really could not see the trucks very well. While Elon stood in the bed of the truck, his face was in the shadows during much of his presentation. In typical fashion, he was not rehearsed. (He ain’t Steve Jobs, that’s for sure.) The attempt to...

Yes, I would like to know if there is a way to manually warm up the batteries as well. I don’t always tell the car that I am navigating to a fast charger, so I would like to warm them up manually before I get there.
