The software difference would be night and day...Rivian will improve/add features over time while Mustang will not. I've yet to drive a Mach E but when comparing the Lyriq to the Rivian it's no comparison, the Lyriq just feels like the UI is all over the place and the screens are tiny/resolution...
On the last earnings call, they mentioned the launch edition R2 would be a higher price point so I'm wondering what that will be. They could start with the Tri motor but I have a feeling it's just going to be a fully optioned dual motor with some color that isn't great or some added extras.
Final Update 8/13/25
She's done! Overall I'm impressed with the work done. It took about 5.5 months in total but about 2 weeks of that was waiting on Rivian to get the vehicle in to replace a rear lift gate latch as it either was broken in the process or it just happened to stop working.
What...
I believe that's what the target demographic is, however, it's a flop on performance if it gets speed limited before even reaching a 1/4 mile. They are being overly cautious with that speed cap and I would absolutely not throw down 140k after taxes for something that's being neutered by...
Agreed, especially if they are isolating it to the launch mode which has to be activated from a stop and takes a couple seconds to actually initiate. It's just pretty lame and I don't think they will be selling as many of these as they anticipated at the current configuration. I thought the...
Hitting the speed limiter before the end of the 1/4 mile and losing to a dual motor lucid is embarrassing…Why not set the limit on the quad to what can entirely be achieved in the quarter mile?
They are trying to get rid of the last bit of DUNE Tri Motor vehicles they have. They are pushing a tri motor incentive through the end of the 1/4 so for another week. I think the embargo will lift on July 1st as that will start Q3 and Quad will go on sale then.
After purchasing the Tri R1S (have one) I would have rather waited for the Tri Motor R2 as I do not need the 7 seats and the R1S has an undesirable suspension compared to the R1T.
I believe pikes peak was an R1T with a longer wheel base. The video in referencing was an R1 S and the R1S is far less planted and has much worse suspension, to this date.
I wouldn’t even consider a quad motor R1S because it’s still going to be a really shitty ride compared to the R1T. The R2...
They still have some of those Dune Tri Motors in stock lol...They're trying to squeeze as much out of the current Tri inventory as they can. I also think they had some serious torque vectoring issues with the next gen quad as it was literally driving sideways (prototype) when tested for SUV of...
Update #3
Custom ballistic glass arrived this week and is currently being fitted & installed. Rear "gate" was also installed to add ballistic protection to the rear without compromising the original rear liftgate. Soft/lightweight ballistic panels were also installed in the door panels &...
Lol what a clown. Elon has failed to deliver on most of what he says, including the original roadster price, cybertruck pricing / specs, FSD, many many many other things. GTFO with this nonsense.
Is the ride improvement, matrix headlights, and improved cameras worth a $30k differance between a 2023 demo gen 1 Quad large pack with less than 2k miles. You'd still get 5 years of warranty and 58,000 miles left. A comparable new tri- motor. ascend interior, max pack and all the new bits...
