You know what would make the suspension feel waaaaay better?
...If they could make the front of the headrest softer. Heads-up aftermarket folks, it would be great if you made a super soft pillow topper that snaps into the decorative recessions on the sides of the headrest.
I'm just bitter...
I was watching the speedo of the recent R1T Pikes Peak run footage and noticed that he hits 115 in a straightaway. That got me wondering if the 2025 quad had a higher top speed. With the R1T competing in the "Production Truck" category, I assumed that removing the speed limiter would...
Can't wait to see the 35% reduction in MSRP passed on to the consumer!
... no I get it, they need to be profitable. I guess my only consolation for picking up a Gen 1 R1S the same month the Gen 2's came out will be that I own one of the overpriced, overengineered, spare-no-expense ones...
Not sure if anyone else has experienced something like this:
I was bored in a drive-thru line so I started messing with the drive modes. Normally I'm an All-Purpose guy with the occasional "Sport" mode. I never did "Snow" before, so what I figured "what the heck."
Wow, that's higher than I...
Not offering CarPlay in 2024 is like opening a Chinese restaurant in western Kentucky and telling Meemaw and PopPop that if they don't figure out how to work the chop sticks, they're gonna leave hungry because there's a strict "no forks" rule in this joint.
I joke, but it's true.
Rivian is...
Agree. Rivian's UI isn't so amazing that they should deny access to the free alternative that more than half the country's phones connect with seamlessly. I miss seeing (or hearing )my messages as they come in, I shouldn't have to fiddle with my phone when I'm driving to find out that plans...
Trade-ins are always less than market, but there's the convenience factor. If your time is valuable and you don't have hours to spend posting ads online, replying to bone-head inquiries like "Will you take XYZ (40% less than what you're asking)", hosting viewing and test driving sessions...
What does the new electrochromatic roof glass look like when it's not opaque? From what I've seen so far, it seems a bit hazy when it's "off" and not super shady when turned on. I realize that by referring to it as a "privacy" feature it's no guarantee that it will provide shade. Wondering if...
To everyone on the fence - Here's a scenario:
Let's say cancel your existing orders and instead opt to go with the 2025 Refeshed R1S Tri-Motor. Rivian gives you a pickup date of October 2024, but by this fall they hit some production snags and are now pushing the date out to February or March...
Gen1 R1S owners - show me your existing milky white roof glass tints, because I don't remember anyone asking for this "feature." Better UV protection or a retractable sun shade while maintaining a clear window, sure I'm 100% on board. I'd rather have a "no glass" option than hazy, frosted glass...
EXACTLY why I lease and would never finance an EV...people talk about how OTA updates will keep you up to date and on the road for years, but if that were true we'd all still be using our iPhone 7's and Samsung Galaxy 6S's. It's the hardware that is advancing at an exponential rate and limiting...
Kind of like this Porsche concept from 6 years ago:
...But that drone isn't so much a spotter, but more of an autonomous selfie stick to let the driver see how cool they look driving their Porsche through the twisties.
I've used the front trunk a couple of times for groceries, but then I stopped because it always seems really hot in the Frunk. It's also impractical to load and unload when pulled all the way in to my garage, so I just don't use it often. On the rare occasion that I do open the frunk (just...
I'm pretty sure that my Whole Foods has resident "stealth campers" who are parked in their lot every night, connected to the free EV chargers. Same cars night after night.
I'll be the first to admit, that I've NEVER really enjoyed camping and I'm guessing that's not a particularly popular...
