Chiming in here late. I recently received a G2 loaner for my G1 R1S that was in for service. First, I will say that the new Long Island City service center was top notch. It's easy to get to from midtown Manhattan, and the team was pleasant and professional every step of the way. I waited to...
Did I miss the part where they include the emissions from petroleum extraction, production and delivery, as they did with the electricity that powers EV’s? Until that is included, the huge benefits of driving an EV are only a very small part of the overall picture.
That's great. I already own one. Rivians are everywhere in the Hamptons. Rivian needs to open a service center there so we don't need to go to some industrial area in Brooklyn when a Riverhead Lumber truck slings a stone at your windshield and shatters it.
Love your products and that you are active in the conversation here.
Not to pile onto this any further, but I am also not a huge fan of the flat cutout design of all of the aftermarket Rivian mud guards. Have you considered creating a 3D printable version of a more integrated design, then...
"an air of upscale sophistication that’s lacking from competitors like the Mercedes-EQ EQS SUV"
If this reviewer finds any current Mercedes acceptable, then the R1S is not for him. I find new Mercedes interiors to be really trashy, with bendy plastics, too many materials and cut lines, absurd...
Excellent! I just ordered this paint pen. I might practice with this…

After experiencing the quick but relatively slow acceleration of my first non-P Model X (2017) the added speed from newer EVs is more of a zero-value novelty than a need or a want. Intelligent design elements matter more. Both the R1 and the CT offer this in spades. If these are the two that...
If you look at an S Class from 1988, you'd be hardpressed to call it a luxury car. It didn't signal luxury in the same way that a Cadillac or Jaguar did. And Mercedes ate Cadillac and Jaguar's lunch. The luxury was in the engineering, and anyone that sat in one understood it after a five minute...
Then there are those of us who have one of each. They are very different vehicles, but are gunning for the same customer profile. Anyone who test drives them will immediately be drawn to one or the other, though still be conflicted because they are both such excellent choices. For long distance...
My advice, use your Tesla for road trips. We have a '22 Model X and a '23 R1S. I recently did NY to DC in the Rivian... never again. At least not until more Superchargers are available to use with CSS. EA and EVgo are worthless and will take you miles out of your way, only to discover they're...
Try this… Get one of those Christmas lasers that projects thousands of red and green dots. Not sure if a cat would love it or hate it. But it works for woodpeckers.
