2022 Quad owner and getting my front motor replaced as well...but excited because I think the motor was behind all my clunking and half shaft issues. :)

They will also go to those of us very early adopters who like pain, because we are used to it. :CWL:

Probably buy a nice electric motorcycle at that point...goodness.

Its double or even triple some e-bikes.

Mine has been super reliable but the rattles and half shaft and suspension noise issues on my early build have kept me from being fully satisfied so moving to an R2 for the simplified suspension and build.

I’m saying there needs to be incentive to buy these early versions since they kinda already screwed themselves saying it’s not upgradeable with lidar or the newest processor tech. I’m excited to ditch my early R1 so I hope the price is more reasonable as I don’t care about autonomous driving.

Launch edition anywhere near $60k is silly. Especially when 6 months later won’t have the latest and greatest. They need to be at $50-55k range or most are gonna wait. IMO

For some it’s the fix.

I’m on my third set of half shafts and replacement hubs. It’s never resolved the clunks.

No, that’s a whole nother issue of the early R1s.

Yep. I get told it’s normal. Mine is worse on slow turns on uneven surfaces.

Yes its a first year model, but its basically just a shrunken down R1S with a simplified suspension. I bet its more reliable than the R1 line out of the gate. I hope I'm right, cuz I'm very much looking forward to getting away from this air suspension.

I got a few texts and calls from Tony Caravano when I had my paint issues back in 2022 and they swapped me for a new one. Glad to hear they are still helping those that have these wild situations.

If you want it to actually be clean, hand wash.

My #1 reason? No air suspension.

I'm no Tesla fan, but I'm jealous of how smooth everything is. The Gen 1 system in my R1T is very slow and laggy...yes, even after a full reset after updates and then re-caching. I imagine a Gen 2 is a little better with the separate processor for autonomy, etc.

The suspension sounds I understand...they are a bit much. Good luck to you.

Gen 1 quads are hit and miss with tight drivetrains/ tick tocking, etc. Mine is clunky as hell in all facets…half shafts and suspension…and yes they’ve been changed 3 times. I am seriously looking at upgrading for the smoother drivetrain alone of a gen 2. I can’t get Rivian service to...

That's where mine was. Just had the AC replaced due to this.

Was the grinding noise between coasting and regen? I have that currently, same year and vin range.
