That’s not exactly putting the best foot forward.

This is the best thread ever. It’s not even a contest.

I agree that a full-vehicle side and quartering view are both needed here. This is truly a big-picture change to profile and cosmetics. Please add when that is available.

“I have one word for you…”

Thanks all. Seems pretty clear that there’s no correlation at all.

Or more accurately, they sold it to you? ?

Greetings all. I was invited to schedule my first mile drive today for my R1S reservation and have now scheduled it. Here’s my question: does that invite portend a “sooner” delivery of your vehicle? Or is it totally independent of delivery date? My current delivery date is slotted for Jan-June...

You are correct!

That’s interesting because I texted my guide yesterday and Abby couldn’t tell me what the price difference would be.

I have a long wait yet before I take delivery of my R1S, but I’m just reading this thread and wondering, what could possibly make this stuff worth $18/gallon??

Already is.

Spitballing exercise for the engineers on this forum… There have been reports from new owners of the R1S that compared to the R1T, the handling gets squirrelly with aggressive acceleration. For the geeks who understand things like suspensions, weight distribution, torque and all the other...

I’m OC, and moved “up” from Jan-Dec. ‘24, to Jan-June ‘24.

Good question. I don’t have my Rivian yet, but I also don’t trust that type of technology just yet. (The kind that controls the car.) And my observation is that most drivers are careless and/or not paying attention. To me, a safe distance is now more than I’d have previously allowed, plus it...

I will gladly keep a very healthy distance behind any and all trucks on the highway. These photos were taken by me after I pulled the driver from the overturned cab with the help of another motorist. The trucker lost a steer wheel on I-35, lost control and went over the side embankment which was...

Yup. Nothing.

Good to know. Maybe I’ll swing by there.

Is the first-mile drive only for people who are about to take delivery? If so, that would make no sense to me. If I’ve already paid and I’m about to own it, then I’m not someone who needs to be convinced. It makes far more sense to let people drive it who might be strongly considering owning...

Thanks for that write-up. I’ve now had my very own extremely-disappointing situation with Rivian. I live in Minneapolis, asked Rivian for a First Mile or test drive LAST SPRING, and I was told I’d be notified as soon as that opportunity came up. I heard nothing about this event. No emails, no...

Excellent summation. BEV’s are a TOTALLY different beast in a true cold-weather climate.
