  1. Trading in cars with Rivian is it worth it?

    I fixed it to make it more understandable, hopefully :). I suck at putting the random stream of thoughts going through my head down into an intelligible read.
  2. Trading in cars with Rivian is it worth it?

    I was buying from them, that was the point. All others offered me a higher sell value than Rivian offered as a trade-in by multiple thousands.
  3. Trading in cars with Rivian is it worth it?

    We sold our 2023 Lightning to Carmax. They offered us $42,200. Rivian offered us $37,000. So, I wouldn't say they are competitive, maybe in certain markets they are but not in PA. Rivian was the lowest out of every place I checked, Carmax/Carvana/KBB instant cash/local dealers/EverCars/Tesla...
  4. Finally got my R1S

    Absolutely loving it. Finding excuses to go to the grocery store, or cvs, or wherever and taking the extremely long way of getting there.
  5. Finally got my R1S

    Thank you, it's definitely louder with it out. It dampens the sound a little with it in.
  6. Finally got my R1S

    Thanks Thor. I found another post from a few years ago that said you have to hit the learn button each time you send the signal. I was just hitting it once then the first signal turned the light off then back on. Then I just continued with the next signal and then the 3rd. So I'll try hitting...
  7. Finally got my R1S

    Ok, some observations after driving it a lot today. I was worried about the sound system from everyone's review on here and other sites. Mine sounds really good, I would argue it sounds as good as my 2022 Model Y did. But I'm coming from the Mach E and premium sound system Ford Lightning and...
  8. Finally got my R1S

    I've been waiting for a few years now and every time something would happen and it just never came to fruition. Finally picked up my 2026 R1S Dual Large with performance, road trip, and sound+vision packages. Picked it up this morning in Malvern, which is about 40 minutes from my home. I leased...
  9. Demo Drive : Tri R1S, Quad R1T, Dual R1T : Very different ride/handling, trying to understand

    So according to Munro Live this is exactly what they did. The air suspension is for height only and there is a hydraulic system for dampening. Beginning at 2 minutes Rivian R1S Gen 2 Undercarriage: What’s New Beneath?
  10. Value proposition question - at what distance do you consider your ICE over EV?

    Since I've gotten older, I'm extremely happy not to have to crawl on the floor to change mine and my wife's oil. My boys have no desire to learn about working on cars. I still have a 68 Mustang but since they don't care, I just let the professionals deal with maintenance on it.
  11. Value proposition question - at what distance do you consider your ICE over EV?

    I think that is very subjective. We much prefer to use our EV on road trips. When using an ICE, we always arrived fatigued with body aches and took a few days to recover. With our EV, yes it takes maybe 2 hours longer but have no lingering issues from the drive. So, the value in the response is...
  12. Value proposition question - at what distance do you consider your ICE over EV?

    We've been a 100% EV household since 2020. Take a yearly 1600-mile round trip to see my mom and stepdad in South Carolina.
  13. When R2 prices are released, how much is too much?

    I would think that someone will create an accessory to add a longer, maybe even glow in the dark pull tab to the back door release. With its position you could pull the cover and easily add an additional pull release without messing with the aesthetics. If any laws pass that require well marked...
  14. When R2 prices are released, how much is too much?

    We'll have to put off our purchase until next year when our Mach E lease is up. Originally, I was replacing our Lightning with an R2 but just ordered an R1 instead.
  15. Tracking for delivery?

    Any way to track where the vehicle is located in the delivery process? When I ordered I chose a no-transfer fee one, which I assume meant it was around me already. The delivery date said less than a week. Once I paid the deposit it moved to 2-6 weeks, but I already have my VIN. I've bought...
  16. Purchasing frustration

    I got a really good offer from Carmax. 6k more than Rivian’s offer. I tried to stand strong and wait for the R2 but my will was weak when they updated the lease cash to 6500. So I just ordered a R1S Dual Large with performance upgrade and the road trip package in LA Silver. I figured the LA...
  17. R2 spotted with new stripes and vinyl graphics design (2/2/26)

    Just as long as it’s the vehicle release date and not the configurator release date. :)
  18. R2 spotted with new stripes and vinyl graphics design (2/2/26)

    No, it was R2-D2 colors. Blue, silver and white
  19. R2 spotted with new stripes and vinyl graphics design (2/2/26)

    R2-F1P had an orange and silver/white coloring also.
  20. Purchasing frustration

    Dang, I need to tell them what you did. They were a hard we don’t negotiate for me no matter how many times I asked.
