  1. Confirmed: AWD upgrade to Performance Dual Motor available via software update later this year

    Dual Motor to Quad Motor software unlock to follow? That'd be amazing.(Quantum physics joke) All kidding aside, like what others have mentioned, I'm glad to see Rivian taking another page out of Tesla's book. They need all the help that they can get. I keep thinking of what RJ said about being...
  2. New rims and tires: 22" EV Sportline R500 forged wheels and Toyo Open Country III A/T 285/50-22 tires

    I was just looking at these on their website. By any chance where you able to weigh the stock wheels+tires, along with the new set? I'm curious what the delta is between the two sets. They look great!
  3. Seat covers for R1S front and middle seats

    A part of me aches in pain at the thought of covering up the amazing looking seats in the Rivian, but I understand the reasons why one might want seat covers. I think you're only options right now are universal seat covers, but they are really-really ugly and will do grave injustice to the...
  4. Refresh R1 Colors and Prices (unconfirmed)

    Thanks for your X post. ? I'm really curious about the premium interior. It'd be funny if they offered good ol' Cow Leather. That'd be hilarious. Joking of course.
  5. Lordstown Endurance on Cars & Bids

    How funny, I had the auction tab of this Lordstown open and was tracking it out of curiosity. I just went back to the tab after seeing this thread and it says that the auction was canceled. When I saw that it couldn't be registered for street use it made me wonder. I guess it would make for a...
  6. Kia EV9 Mini (EV3), The Korean R2 ?

    This had me rolling. I wonder how many people will get this reference. ? It definitely has people and the media talking, which in this case any attention is good attention.
  7. Kia EV9 Mini (EV3), The Korean R2 ?

    Competition is great indeed and very healthy. I'm really excited about the R2 and the Wife really likes the R3. We were joking that it'd be funny if we had every model of Rivian in the garage. I think 2025 will be a great year when the wick is finally lit to launch the EV momentum here in the...
  8. Kia EV9 Mini (EV3), The Korean R2 ?

    Correct. Hyundai Motor Group [Hyundai, KIA & Genesis] As for toyota there are key reasons that shape the reality of the truth behind their bluffs and failures. 1. toyota is the most indebted auto maker in the World at $200 BILLION. Insane. They're going downhill fast, calling bluffs out of...
  9. KIA EV9 vs. Rivian R1S: Comprehensive Overview, Key Questions, Buy or Lease Scenarios?

    KIA along with HMG as a whole will be fine. They've spent $200 Million to expand the EV plant in GA, so with it being built right here in the USA, it'll also qualify for tax incentives. HMG as a S.Korean company is very different as in it being favorable in the eyes of the US. Like Brothers...
  10. Kia EV9 Mini (EV3), The Korean R2 ?

    I think it's great. We need more EVs to enter the market and there's a lot to thank KIA for, especially as a legacy auto maker, for producing great EVs and not being a loser like toyota (total joke). Or even worse, having a chinese company make honda's EVs. Ouch. Let alone GM and Ford going...
  11. KIA EV9 vs. Rivian R1S: Comprehensive Overview, Key Questions, Buy or Lease Scenarios?

    Thankfully the crowd here is much better than the Tesla crowd. Two very different class of people. I enjoy the Rivian community a lot and have already met some amazing people. The EV9 is an excellent value prop if you don't need additional storage space. There are plenty landing the GT-Line for...
  12. 2025 Standard Pack LFP Battery EPA Test data released. Heat pump confirmed

    This is a great thought and question. As of right now and even with the refresh, a current Dual Performance w/ Max Pack is arguably the most ideal config. It's a very hard config to top given the range. The only realistic scenario where I see a situation, where it would make undeniable sense...
  13. Starting to get interested and reading a bunch

    It's refreshing to see a lot of honest input here. I was afraid that a lot would go off on saying that the R1S system was good. It's not. Car audio may be subjective, but in a way I disagree. A bad sounding car audio system (not talking about the Rivian) is bad regardless and even if an odd...
  14. Electron

    Seattle Area Rivian Group

    Congrats! We're in the same boat. Ditching our Teslas and looking to get into a R1S. It's a great community with a lot of friendly folks. Looking forward to joining the party soon. Enjoy your new R1S!
  15. 22" Inch 22" Michelin DEFENDER LTX M/S2 LT275 /50 R22 119S E1 BSW tires installed photos & review impressions

    The tires have a really good side wall look to them that adds a nice accent to the overall stance. From a glance they almost look like all terrains from the edge of the treads. Absolutely love the black on black combo. Stunning.
  16. KIA EV9 vs. Rivian R1S: Comprehensive Overview, Key Questions, Buy or Lease Scenarios?

    That's a victory in itself! I'm genuinely happy for you to have been able to get out of dodge and getting out of that sour situation ( ? pun intended). The depreciation on EVs in general is really bad (with some very few exceptions, more on that in a bit**). EVs in general have a lot going for...
  17. KIA EV9 vs. Rivian R1S: Comprehensive Overview, Key Questions, Buy or Lease Scenarios?

    Appreciate the input. It's funny how the small details hold so much weight, for example like the 2nd row sun shades. As silly as it may seem, it's extremely practical, especially with kids. Small details sell as they say. As far as our choice, it's the R1S. Even if our local KIA dealer offers...
  18. KIA EV9 vs. Rivian R1S: Comprehensive Overview, Key Questions, Buy or Lease Scenarios?

    Thanks for the input. We've been looking for other car seats that may help with the passenger seat situation. As mentioned in the thread, we're trying to avoid having to compromise on the safety. As I'm sure you're aware, not all car seats are created equal. Your ioniq 5 clearly was a lemon...
