Smart. Leasing is a safe option, especially for EVs right now as they depreciate the fastest that will be compounded even more with the fast moving tech. At the end of the lease and if the company's health is to your liking then there's always the buy out option.
Buying a New EV right now, one...
Exactly my thought. Terrible design choice. It ruins the aesthetics of the R1. I can't unsee it.

Exactly. Like Tesla's overinflated range claims. Tesla is so much worse in so many ways. How about the rug pull with the massive price drop, leaving people upside down overnight etc. I always laugh when I see the adjusted 279 miles on the website for the MYP, when it used to be over 300.
What...
Great stuff.
It'd be nice to see Rivian beef up the outlets with a 50A (NEMA 14-50) like on the Cybertruck or the 30A plugs on the Lightning and Silverado. This is one area where Rivian lacks as the outlets are pretty weak at only 1500w, which is the lowest among EVs. It's better than having...
Same story with Teslas. HW3 was terrible, a complete joke like 90s flip phone quality, then HW4 with the 5.0MP came out and it was a breath of fresh air.
LOL crApT&T. Dropped calls and horrible it remains. They still have issues and just recently an issue with their customers not being able to...
Stay in the nicer areas and you're fine, but Portland has changed a lot for the worse. I would still be cautious, aware and mindful of where you park. Luckily I haven't had any issues, but I purposely am strategic about where I park when in the city. If parking in a garage in the city, I try to...
Bummer. Sorry to hear. Since you're on your 2nd time around with this, I'd maybe start looking into the lemon law in your State.
Typically after 3-4 attempts you can start putting the idea of filing for a lemon on the table of options. There was a guy on YouTube where Rivian swapped out this...
Many things can be subjective and for those that don't have a baseline to contrast against, the current R1S sound system could sound the best to them. Understandable.
I think for these folks, they should experience sitting in a Model X and listening to the sound system. Wait, maybe not as it...
Yikes. We've been talking about this in another thread and how going from 11.1 ft³ to 9.8 ft³ is more meaningful than just a simple ~12% decrease. The area sacrificed for the new HP can be the difference between being able to fit a large stroller, camp gear that one is used to etc., than not...
The goal is to not have to keep adding more packs to achieve more range and efficiency, like what GM is doing with their Silverado, Hummer EV etc., just stacking packs to make a 200kWh+ beast. To be clear, I'm not complaining, bring it on. Love it. Whatever it takes. For now.
With Rivian the...
Tesla at every level from the 3*, Y*, S and X have a well tuned premium system. The 3 and Y for sure beats anything in its class, while the S and X are among the best at that price point. There are other great systems at the $80K+ range.
This is not to hype up anything by any means, but the...
Ha! Glad to see that I'm not alone. You're 100% correct in that the space reduction is far greater depending on how that space was reduced.
I'm very curious now.
Definitely not a deal breaker by any means, but for those with huge strollers + pack n plays + kids stuff like us, every bit of space counts to be able to make it fit. Now I'm eager to go test fit all the stuff in the Gen 2 frunk out of curiosity. Not the end of the world, just really curious...
This is what I'm thinking as well as the highs and mids are pretty decent, just that they need to be tuned. A nice Sub and Amp would really bring it to life.
I've installed Tesla specific after market systems, replacing all the speakers (3x dash, 2x front doors, 2x rear doors, 2x rear, 2x...
Thank you for this.
The two points that stood out were the smaller frunk and the new sound system.
Do you happen to know what the cubic feet is for the new frunk? The Gen 1 is 11.1 cubic feet if I recall. The new Gen 2 being smaller is a bummer and hope that it's not too significant. The...
