I am afraid to tell you; but it is a mindset thing. I think the car is completely perfect for me. I even had a paint chip, very small. I just picked up a paint pen online and drove back home. Wow it rides so good! Good is the enemy of the perfection. Next time go with an open mind and you will...
Hello Perfectionist with no family (too much assumption here)
Here is a semi-perfectionist with family, I absolutely love it. ? Had I done it, i would be a Thanksgiving roast. So I will enjoy it vicariously.
It sounds like air suspension to me. Whenever I have my ride height at “auto”, which is most of the time I hear that when I park.
If I had it at lowest setting, I would rarely hear it when parked; sometimes in the middle.
Tangential question: what AS are you swapping for and what is the efficieny gain would you potentially getting. I have stock 20’; but cringe every week on loss of ~20% miles. It is hard on me as a utilitarian. I do want to move to summer tires in 2024 and try that. So collecting information.
Are you using it in the right way? (Sorry about the wrong question or asking it wrong way) it has been working flawlessly for me, as long as I turn it off after each use.
If I don’t turn it off and just put it back, I have seen the behavior your are mentioning; just a thought.
I do use it in...
I am biased and white is a great choice. I always loved yellow though; but my family wanted white. So whenever I see any yellow cars, I regret for not going with yellow though. Too many choices in life ?
I really like these and the cup holders on your site. Could you make the cup holder that can take 50oz rambler please? it is just a request, as it is my go to water bottle.
I agree. It is the fixed cost and they can only bring it down by volume. They need to quickly move to R2 platform for volume; but I see this as a good trend. There is no other SUV like R1S in the market and they should capitalize on that until R2.
I wouldn’t consider anything other than glass roof. I am 6’2” not too tall and like to have space. The glass roof open it up for me; even in total sun. Any car that doesn’t have it as default is archaic I feel; just my personal 2 cents.
Picked up and drove like a raging addict through New York traffic to not let anybody come close to my Rivian; been in love ever since; first ever for a non-living thing for me.
It may need to come little forward as well. So that it can fit between the slope from the dashboard and the R1S cup holder. I am planning to rig one with a 4 inch pipe I can get from homedepot one of these weekends.
