They sold over 200,000 of them. They also have amazing resale values. Not sure if that constitutes as a failure.

I agree about it looking like it's made from lego, but I like lego! This design is a little busy but I hope they don't try to make it too swoopy.

Great job! I'd be interested to know what the "MPG" would be for the generator.

I hope they take inspiration from this Toyota concept. As you said, they need to lean into their current design language and not get mixed in with the competition.

Wow! Your utility rates are really high. Do you have an option to get contracted rates through a co-op program? You could add solar panels to reduce your bill but then there is the payback for that investment to factor in. What has been your average efficiency for your R1S including the vampire...

Lexus should be coming out with the RX450h plugin later this year or you can wait 4 months for a NX450 plugin. The RX should be around 30 miles while the NX is around 40 miles per charge.

Maybe these? https://www.offroadwarehouse.com/product/tire-cover-33-inch35-inch-773535

I wonder how many people cross shop a MY and R1S? They seem to be in totally different categories to me. If someone is cross shopping both, maybe they just wanted an EV and not an adventure EV. The R1S is bigger, less efficient, and has a different driving style. It's like saying people are...

I had originally picked Forest Green but changed to Limestone with a FE interior. I'd probably take a FG/FE on 20"/21" tires if I had shop access.

How many total vehicles are there in the shop? I've been trying to get shop access but haven't been successful. Delivery window is Q4 this year so not too much longer.

I was wondering, can you just show up to a service center and talk to the people there? I have been trying to get a test drive for months but haven't heard anything. I have a OCT 21 order for a R1S that is stated to be delivered in Q4.

I inquired with Manhattan Leasing about their lease program for Rivians and they told me they don't know what to set the residual at. I'm not sure if this is dependent on the market or someone else that sets it. I'd like to lease mainly because the EV technology is moving so quickly and not to...

Rlvian is coming for you. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/04/16/the-25000-ev-is-coming-with-big-implications-for-car-buyers.html

This is the regulation for businesses. You could also be right but below is the reason that was referenced for me. https://afdc.energy.gov/laws/13039#:~:text=Beginning%20January%201%2C%202023%2C%20a,below%2014%2C000%20pounds%20(lbs.)...

One thing I learned recently is that if you register the car in a business these restrictions don't apply. I just recently leased a iX 50 for my father and since it's owned by BMW, they can claim the rebate, which they applied to the lease. Also check your state to see if your car qualifies for...

I wonder if it's using the same wheelbase as the Lyriq. It sure looks like it from your pictures. This will probably end up being what the Honda/Acura rebadges will be in size.

Well said. I just don't understand why they thought there was going to be such a big market for their car. I know the Taycan is selling well but that's about the only premium EV sedan that is. I don't see a lot of MB, BMW, or Audi EV sedans out there. I would have seriously looked at the Gravity...

I have always see the R1S as the EV successor to the Land Cruiser. It's not as quirky as Subaru and not as blue collar as the Jeep. I can see why it could be seen as a Defender alternative but when I look at the R1S I see more Land Cruiser FJ60 vibes. I am a Toyota fanboi so maybe it's my way of...

You would think they would have stopped the insanity and moved on from this design. Just like the falcon doors on MX, it doesn't make sense to do this.

That's great! Where are you located?
