  1. Should I purchase R1S

    I have had minor things addressed. Panel gaps and the like. No Problems.
  2. Should I purchase R1S

    You have to drive it with your significant others. If you love the motion, acceleration and the possibility of going off road, by all means get one. If you or your family members are subject to motion sickness and you don't need the off road capabilities it may not be for you. You can get a...
  3. NYT: Tesla chief executive’s polarizing statements have alienated some potential customers

    My wife has a model Y - P. She like it. The sound system in the R1S is so much better. Yes they should have spent $50 more for the interior. The sound system in the X is much better. The world is crazy. Elon Musk is a person with a storm in his brain, just like the rest of us.
  4. Glass roof cover

    It might have been; https://evsportline.com/products/rivian-r1t-r1s-removable-panoramic-roof-sun-shade-and-reflector-by-team-1ev It worked pretty good. I can't imagine not having a sunshade.
  5. Glass roof cover

  6. 2024.19.06 new update release notes

    One of the bikes I had was a Honda 305 super hawk. I rode that from just south of Chicago to Los Angeles, then to San Francisco during the summer of love in 67. Riding on Route 66 in the desert at night, it was like riding on a ribbon of glass. I found my self in Huntington beach where I...
  7. Range Loss for R1S with a loaded 3 bike hitch rack quad S

    I am heading up to Mammoth Lakes from Long Beach. Should I start at 85% charge. What kind of range loss should I expect with the bikes. How much range loss from Bishop to Mammoth? Should I switch to conserve once I get to a free flowing freeway? I am 168 miles from Inyokern. Hopefully I will...
  8. Good bye R1S Bumpmobile. thoughts on ownership and the process

    I assume you still lost money. I like the stereo.
  9. Price went up $8,150 for Gen2, am I missing something?

    I have an R1S quad. Unless you want to go off road and love the acceleration when you are alone you may want to consider a different car. I doubt that the upgrade will solve all the problems with porpoising but it may be worth waiting and test driving the new model with your wife.
  10. My R1S delivery adventure. Delivered 1/13/2024 (R2 and R3 vids inside!)

    You have to do this once in your life. There is no car that is more than the R1S. All that time pining over some "special car" is over.
  11. Tesla FSD Full Self Driving & Rivian ?

    My Wife is testing full self driving in her MYP. Her co-worker, a neurosurgeon, swears by it as it drivers her home. I am glad we tried it as I disliked it and now have no interest in it.
  12. 1st charge

    We had an electrician install a 14-50 outlet. It has worked well for our MYP and R1S. We pay .24 for electricity during 9 pm to 4pm. Must be nice to pay .12.
  13. Rivian R1S questions.

    Hi Brad. I just saw a 2024 quad R1S with 200 miles sold on CarsandBids for about 78k. That is crazy. Check it out. I have a R1S quad. Rivian gave me a Mercedes EQS SUV as a loaner. I didn't like it and it was ugly. Tesla will give you better e mileage. Tesla is also smother. My wife...
  14. R1S delivery, factory flaw in door

    I have a Rivian and a Tesla. The Tesla came in with a significant quarter size paint problem. We rejected it and got a perfect one. We found a scratch on the black trim around the roof of the Rivian which they were able to fix. I would not take delivery of Rivian with a dent. I would wait...
  15. Performance Dual vs Quad - Acceleration, NVH and other differences?

    I hadn't heard that. Where is it listed that all purpose is about 700 hp.
  16. First 40 miles of R1S ownership compared to BMW IX50 and Tesla Model Y Performance

    We had a paint blemish on our MYP. We rejected it and got another one. Glad we did.
  17. Rivian named Best Luxury Brand 2024 by U.S. News ? ?
