I'm at 7489 miles

In my humble opinion there are probably two separate but related questions in your original post. 1) Is the vehicle worth the new pricing? 2) Would you pay it? The answer to #1 is yes I think it is. I speak more from the R1S perspective than R1T as that is what I own but I believe the answer...

Probably pie in the sky but it would be interesting to see a 'hitch integrated' system where you could actually tow a sizeable battery for scenarios of extended range and have it somehow interface directly with the charging system through the hitch area wiring for discharge and charge on the...

Hmm not sure I agree with the logic on this one to be honest. Perhaps because I grew up in a more rural area the idea of hauling along extra fuel is definitely not a novel one. The fact that it's now electrons and that there aren't great portable options right now doesn't really change the...

I certainly will. I have to wait for some of the things I ordered off Amazon to come in, and based on some of the recent postings it may be that one or more of them might need to be replaced but I will definitely report back. I wasn't able to order the cable the OP linked to as it was out of...

I have the Rivian Charger on a 60A circuit and can confirm I consistently (always) get 11.5 kw

I'm definitely not God's gift to electricians. Can you possibly link one I could buy on Amazon? Note the peculiar setup of the parallel linked generators means that I have to plug the charger in to the 30 AMP weird socket on the companion generator

I have the 22" not the 20" in rims so not sure if this helps, but I recently got the Nokian Hakkapelitta 10 SUV tires installed on my OEM rims. These are studded winter tires. I'll be the first to admit this is overkill for the Seattle area but I do a lot of trips up north in pretty dreadful...

From my perspective your timing couldn't have been more perfect for this post. We just had a power outage in Seattle and I was using my generators the other day to back up the house. It got me thinking that I should probably test them on my R1S to see how they do. I have 2 Honda Generators of...

Thanks for taking the time to post this review. I just got the 22" Nokian Hakkapelitta 10 SUV installed on my R1S. https://www.nokiantires.com/snow-winter-tires/nokian-tyres-hakkapeliitta-10-suv/ Way too much tire for an average day in Seattle but very limited choices for winter tires on the...

First off thank you for taking the time to provide such a detailed review. There isn't a ton of information available on these types of tires on Rivian's so I truly appreciate it! Secondly I agree with most if not all of your observations/recommendations. I grew up about an hour's drive from...

Have you ever successfully charged on an L3 charger? Have you tried a variety of L3 chargers?

An excellent question. Mostly for skiing and road trips up to Northern BC. Can you provide a bit more color on your experience with them? Road noise, grip etc. Thank you!

Anyone out there install the Nokian HAKKAPELIITTA 10 SUV winter tires on their R1S? If so I'd be keen to hear from you on what you think. I have an appointment to get these installed on Wednesday. https://www.nokiantires.com/snow-winter-tires/nokian-tyres-hakkapeliitta-10-suv/...

Do you know what Rivian recommends in terms of putting them on the front, putting them on the back or both? Also if you adjust them more do you think they will stay away from the rims? Also can you post the SKU number etc. as well as where you bought these? Thanks!

I updated my R1S last night. As it happens we have a decent amount of snow in Seattle today (unusual) Took snow mode for a spin and it's definitely a winner. Much more gradual acceleration and much less aggressive regen. Overall well executed with significantly increased control...

It's an interesting thought to be honest. Initially the R1S was priced higher than the R1T (still is) but if you follow the launches of each closely you'll see that the R1T actually had a slightly more successful launch (in terms of reviews) than the R1S. Some of this is possibly due to the...

Yaya another El Cap R1S in the pacific northwest! I was starting to feel a bit lonely. :) Hope to see you on the road bro and enjoy the ride!

Nah too lazy. :)

For anyone who is interested in such things (mainly to inform potential future price hikes) here are a few stats on R1S auctions since launch. Source: Cars & Bids # of R1S sold: 18 Overall Average Price: $118,756 Average Price (Last 10 sales): $114,550 Sales by Color: Launch Green: 10, El...
