This and other's people's problems with rattles has me hitting pause on the Rivian purchase.

yeah i"m guessing that also will put downward pressure on used R1s

Nice setup. I'm interested in these systems as well. They don't make a ton of sense for a 15 year payback; because 6 years from now things will be cheaper and better but I'm interested in reducing reliance on the grid in general. Good job.

Wish you well with the Dune. It's a compelling package for the current price but the color is not my cup of tea to each his own. I'm sure you'll enjoy many happy adventures.

My guess it's a shorter term support floor from Tesla defectors. Once the fervor has died down or the vast majority of the switches completed; you'll see the large depreciation drops again.

so are you saying updating is worth it?

look at my original reply, he had no mention on Memorial day in the OP. They've gone back and corrected. Take your time and read before attacking.

Rivian's biggest achilles heel is the need for a faster charging curve even moreso over more range. If the R1T had faster charging, I'd already be an owner. Instead, I'm still weighing it vs the upcoming Sierra EV AT4

Just curious why you just didn't but a work truck wheel/tire just to serve as the spare in an emergency and keep it underneath or is there no room with the max battery pack?

I don't see why not, I thought it was just the 24s that kept the GMC from having a spare underneath.

because the Sierra EV won't self level? It looks like you were able to carry a lot more things in the bed than would have fit in the R1T so maybe that helps offset.

honestly that's a little disappointing. My current F150 with a revolver tonneau keeps things dry and mostly dust free

The work truck i's not a $100k truck. Hell the Denali trim is a $100k msrp and can be easily had in the high 80Ks.

If it was a rental, you literally drove the work truck (lowest trim) version of the pickup. A GMC Sierra EV Denali trim would be a much fairer comparison in terms of cabin comfort.

sorry you're still waiting for an r1s

This isn't President's day weekend. It's Memorial Day and it honors those who have died for our country. Failing to properly remember them is a bigger injustice than any charging price increase.

Thanks for the replies

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...
