I'll have to report back with efficiency once I finish my long road trip to Portland and back. During my 90 mile drive, I did hit traffic, so that might have increased that efficiency number since EVs tend do do better at slower speeds.
The numbers I reported was with the AC fan at the...
So normal day to day driving on all purpose mode, I'm average about 2mi/kwh on the freeway based on the graph shown by 15 minute interval. Could it be possible that in converse mode, for those always seeing 2 mi/kwh, the rear motors aren't actually disconnecting? Just a thought...
I asked my guide for shop access a couple of times before I was granted access. The very first time I asked was very early on when only Launch Edition orders got access. I got a First Mile Drive for the R1S AFTER I selected/purchased a vehicle from the shop. I did do a demo for the truck way...
Really? With 21"? Is this in the extreme cold or something? Temperatures here this past weekend was about 60-70 degrees. Besides flooring it to get onto the freeway, I just kept it pretty steady with traffic at 75.
We took delivery of our R1S on 4/26. The Rivian R1S is first SUV and EV vehicle for our family. The fit and finish of the vehicle was fantastic. My friend (2020 Model Y owner) who took me for delivery commented that it’s a lot nicer than his Tesla was during his delivery. Panel gap and...
Just got a call to confirm delivery date for next Wednesday (4/26). So about 3 weeks and 2 days between picking a car that's located at the factory, to delivery.
You don't need insurance and full payment until the day before delivery. I would have it all lined up and ready to go though. For insurance, I got a quote from my company. They now have it on record, so I can just call and activate it when I find out the delivery date.
From my guide...
I'm not sure. I didn't ask and my guide did not specify. I had my first mile drive a couple of days AFTER selecting the R1S from the shop, and that was in El Segundo. I'm guessing delivery will be at El Segundo too. Please let me know when you do have a delivery date scheduled though!
Picked mine from the shop on 4/3 as well. Hopefully mine is with yours in Southern California!
UPDATE: Just pinged my guide and he says it just arrived at the service center and is in queue to complete the final checks. Hopefully that won't take too long!
I'm planning on a family road trip in the summer from Southern California to Portland. Any tips as far as charging goes, or must see/do from SF to Portland area?
