This was all great, thanks! One more question: what do you do for a key at a car wash when you want both the interior and exterior cleaned? I saw there is a ”car wash” mode but I’m not exactly sure what it does.

Awesome, thanks.

I got my R1S today and although I've only driven it about 2 hours, I'm really impressed. I'm coming off of a Lucid Air and although I loved my Lucid, I'm even happier with the Rivian. I've read a few posts that the Lucid s/w is more responsive, but in the short time I've had the Rivian, I...

The money factor I’m getting is decent (.00017). I was considering putting the maximum down (which was nearly all of the lease payments) but decided against it at the last minute because of both the decent money factor and also the potential risks associated if the car is stolen or totaled.

Actually that’s not correct, I’m taking delivery tomorrow. I was actually just asking an honest question since I’m new to Rivian.

Thanks. Then why does it need to connect to WiFi?

I’m really not referring to the $7,500 EV credit. I’m talking about the additional $6,500 rebate offered last month by Rivian that was coupled with the credit. It just seems nonsensical for Rivian to reduce this amount at the same time the other credit is going away. So, I don’t believe it is a...

I’m not a newbie to this and I’ve been in finance for decades and so I know how it works. This is one area where you can actually make it up on volume bc in the auto industry it’s all about scale. I’ve also read a lot of analyst reports and it is clear that EV manufacturers will need to find...

I actually think there is no chance that the incentives will get worse. They may not get better, but I don’t see how they will be worse since there really is almost no incentive right now. If they got even worse then I don’t see how they would ever hit their sales targets.

The only current incentive for a dual max battery R1S is a $5,000 leasing credit (and you only get this if you take the upgraded performance package). Am I right that just last month they offered a $6,500 "Endless Adventure Bonus" rebate for this same configuration? If so, that would have been...

I have an unrelated question (sorry if this is the wrong forum). I know if I had purchased the car last month I would have gotten the $7,500 tax credit for leasing (stupid me!). Although Rivian is currently offering a $5,000 leasing credit, does anyone know whether there were any incentives...

99% of my charging is with my home charger and so am I right that the free charger will work for that?

Thanks for this. The Lucid s/w is responsive for sure, but it is not customizable at all and I agree that the Rivian s/w looks nicer. I'm not sure how customizable Rivian is, but for Lucid, you can't even reorganize your audio favorites and you are not able to change the apps showing on the...

Thanks for all the great responses and tips! My car comes with the adapter included so I’m good there. I also already have a home charger and so hopefully I won’t have any issues with that (it’s an Emporia charger). In terms of service, Rivian is actually ahead of Lucid in this area. There’s...

Hi everyone. I’m getting my new R1S this weekend and am looking for newbie suggestions. I’m coming off of a Lucid Air (and an Audi e-tron before that) and so I’m familiar with EVs. I really loved the Lucid, but wanted to try something a bit different. Does anyone have any new owner “setup”...

I have 3 kids who graduated B1G schools: my oldest from Maryland, my next from Univ of Mich and my youngest from Penn State. I’m a Rutgers graduate and so we‘re a Big 10 family (other than my wife, but she doesn’t like football anyway haha). I’m getting my first Rivian (R1S) this weekend -...

I’m getting my new Rivian this weekend (coming off of a Lucid Air). Is the WiFi connection needed for updates? If yes and if that‘s the only reason for the WiFi connection, one thing you can do is use your phone as a WiFi hotspot.
