That's the price for the dual motor performance. That's why the 0-60 is 3.5 seconds vs 4.5, but I neglected to note performance.

So this might seem trivial, but just realized the Model X doesn’t have a forward camera for parking. I knew it didn’t have a Birds Eye view like most other cars, but no front view at all seems crazy in 2023. I’ve had forward cameras in all my cars for the past 10 years. Not a deal breaker but...

Ugh the Elon Musk rabbit hole again… Back on point (hopefully) - I find the “apples vs oranges” comments ironically on point. If you are in the market for some fruit with your lunch, why would you not compare apples and oranges? The X and the R1S have a lot more in common than they have...

I’ve seen a lot of “different class” comments. For sure they are different classes, which is why I noted I’m just looking for a family hauler EV. Most people who buy a true SUV don’t really need an SUV, but get it because it’s cooler than a mini van or cross over. So people in the market for an...

Yep for sure. However, probably 90% of those who bought an R1S dont need an “SUV.” This would be my wife’s primary. She just needs something to carry people and stuff. If we need capability we can jump in my quad motor R1T with 20” ATs

I've been looking for options for an EV family hauler. I have an R1T, so zero need for another "adventure" vehicle. Was considering Model Y, but I need a bit more size. Model X was too expensive, and I was not considering it. The Volvo EX90 looks like an option but not clear what the price will...

Sucks. I had to take my 6 week old Rivian to SF earlier this year. Was pretty nervous based on the word of my friends and colleagues in the area. I was very careful where I parked and made sure I could keep an eye on it as much as possible when parked in areas that clearly had cars getting...

The random guy that signaled for me to roll down my window at a traffic light a few days ago summed up Compass Yellow / 20” darks the best ”your truck looks BAD ASS!” RIP CY

I’ve only ever seen 2 compass yellow Rivians in my life, and one of them is in my drive way. Personally I like having a super rare truck (Rivian) and a super rare color (CY). I was nervous about going CY and almost didn't do it, but having it for ~6 months I honestly think CY+black wheels is the...

I've not done any sort of scientific tests, but I question if going FWD in conserve mode vs AWD in all purpose really makes that much of a difference in terms of efficiency. I think the bigger factors in better range comes from the fact conserve puts you in a lower ride hight by default than all...

Woot has some decent deals on Lectron adaptors and EVSEs today. 9/27 only https://tools.woot.com/plus/lectron-ev-electric-vehicle-chargers-accessories?ref=w_ngh_dd_tg

so I assume that means you have the video to share? :) Sorry for your lose. Damage and repairs on these Rivians is no joke. I had what I thought was just a cracked headlight on my T and ended up being close to $7K and a couple months to get fixed. I have my eye and a deposit on an R1S for my...

With pre-march pricing I only paid $800 for mine. At 1800 I would immediately cancel based on early reviews. I’m not canceling at $800 as I think it’s a decent price and assume I’ll eventually get it replaced with a better designed version free under warranty. There are plenty of better options...

You’d think the #1 priority for the manual cover and for the future auto cover would be “Don’t repeat our past mistakes and make an embarrassingly fragile Tonneau cover” and every single design decision has to be validated against that priority. I would have never guessed after all this time and...

For what it's worth I'm at 5.2K miles and have pretty even front/back tread wear at 10/32 (~8mm) on my 20" AT tires. I drive almost exclusively in AP mode. On the highway typically in standard (although sometimes goes to low when i have it set to auto) and on standard or high (because it looks...

"46% wage increase" seems reasonable...

“His 3rd DUI charge in 2022” and drives a forklift for Rivian. Nice. On their website it says they also do “logistics” with “fork lift operators” as one of the bullets, so his story actually seems believable. Love that this was ”His 3rd DUI charge in 2022” and drives a forklift at Rivian. Geez...

Pro tip from a lifelong LA resident - Jumpers and other freeway stoppers are a legit problem, so keep some form of urine collection in your car at all times. I learned that lesson the hard way ~20 years ago after being stuck for several hours waiting for some guy to make up his mind. Under the...

Not sure I‘d want that jet engine sound while I sleep…

When looking at the competition I think the quad price is fair for what you get. However I would likely go with the base dual motor option if I were buying today. It’s a lot less $ for still a very great luxury truck.
