  1. Questions after test drive, current owners please help!

    I have a R1S with 22" tires. I am sensitive to noise and motion. I find the extra acceleration of the S not really usable because it would give me motion sickness as could the rocking of the S on city streets. Now I am able to accelerated and deaccelerate very smoothly. You haven't indicated...
  2. Conflicted on Purchasing R1S

    You should test drive it first. They are very high off the ground so that there is a lot of movement which can add to motion sickness. They are not very smooth in town. I found the R1S very nice on the road. The acceleration can also cause motion sickness if you are prone to that. It is...
  3. UAW is coming after Rivian

    The union bankrupted GM. The taxpayers, stockholders and bondholders paid for the overpayment of GM's union and non-union employees. I was a bondholder. It is what it is.

    I am a white car guy. I initially ordered a white R1S but my daughter and wife talked me into changing to El Cap. Then she got tired of waiting for the R1S and I had to get her a grey YP. The El Cap is Ok. So were you able to take out 2 of the motors to match the emblem? Ha, Ha, nice car. I...
  6. R1S 'Rear' Sun Shade - launched

    The price is the same. You could have had had the front sun shade up during the summer. I have the front shade. It is probably working fine at the at the Rivian service center. I don't remember what my R1S looks like.
  7. How easy is it to sell a R1S…? ?

    I get motion sickness. I have to keep my foot off the pedal, but one of the ideas for getting the truck is it is a monster. I got the C8, I took the racing class. My R1S is in the shop and I can't wait till I get it back.
  8. How easy is it to sell a R1S…? ?

    I paid cash. I could have earned 4.5 percent on the cash but I would have to pay taxes on the interest. I sold my explorer which I paid close to no insurance on. I may not be able to handle the ride of the R1S. Decisions. Buy the truck, take the adventure don't worry about a few thousand...
  9. Parking your Rivian outside

    I have been parking my R1S inside but the service center has been parking it outside. They won't return my calls so I stopped in person. They still wouldn't give my any information. The thrill is gone.

    I think I bought this one...
  11. How much longer can Rivian wasting money on car rental?

    I was told that there was a 2 to 3 week delay into getting a slot for body work, so I offered to bring it back when they could work on it. They said that if I did that I would be put at the back of the line. I don't like the EQE loaner but it is what it is. I no long remember when the R1S...
  12. How much longer can Rivian wasting money on car rental?

    They gave me a Mercedes EQE. Drives like an ICE car. I don't remember my R1S.
  13. How many times have you launched your Rivian?

    One of the reasons that I got the R1S is because it has greater performance than anything that "those" people had in my youth. Now as mature man I find the acceleration too tough on my body. I guess I should take out 3 of the motors and sell them.
  14. R1S seats causing discomfort

    I have the 22s. I think the ride is about the movement and porposing. I am a slow mellow driver but once in a while, when it is very safe, I like to feel the 835 horse power and that is a little tough on me.
  15. R1S seats causing discomfort

    The cockpit seating is critical to me. I dislike the Lucid and the Tesla S. I like the arm rests, the ability to move the seats and steering wheel where I want them on the R1S. The seats are hard to me but not a deal breaker. The ride on city streets and the acceleration are difficult on me...
  16. Costco Wallbox Pulsar Plus 40 AMP Wall Charger 450.00

    I had an unopened $500 Rivian changer and returned it. My wife has a Tesla Y performance. We share a 220 volt outlet. It works fine, no charger. We plug into the wall outlet as needed. I think it charges at about 38 amps which is fine.
  17. Do you think EVs are eventually going to hurt exotic car brands?

    I remember driving my C8 off the lot. At 5 miles per hour it felt very special. I have also had a chance to race my C8. The acceleration of the Rivian is jolting and instantaneous. The performance of the Rivian should have a small impact on ice performance cars just as the new price of the X...
  18. ‘22 Vin from shop assigned - in sept 2023

    I also choose a R1S from the shop and got a 2022. I rejected it and now have my spec R!S.
