I gotta respectfully disagree with some of ur points and there may be some misconceptions. Data from various users and actual tests indicate that the Gen 2 models have higher efficiency.
Its important to consider all the available data to get an accurate comparison. That is, making numbers up...
Pay a little over 5% more with the same configurations to get a premium trim plus a whole motor? Um, of course!
I only regret putting in the extra cash at the beginning versus regretting it every time I drive and see another car with yellow calipers Gen 2 passing by.
It's a no-brainer if you...
Indeed! I found this positive post from a blogger today that I wanted to share. +1 point
Additionally, analysts are predicting with almost certainty a significant rate cut in September. This is great news for those looking to finance or lease (money factor)...especially since our estimated...
Something is faulty with your car, which makes sense given there is also no sound, lol. Sorry. Only one that can fix this is your service center.
Vast majority of current 2025 owners report near 0% daily drain either on this forum, Reddit, or Facebook.
Nice! ? I've done a few test drives with Gen 1 (the guys there know me well, lol), so this will be an awesome comparison.
I just booked for next week. Thanks
Same here. My Rivian guide said my order queue is not affected. I made like three changes haha, partly due to the availability of the Slate Sky interior.
I stopped by after work two weeks ago, and they definitely weren't close to getting Gen 2 demo drives at that time—it might have changed since then. Otherwise, I think your best bet is to do a test drive down in Laguna Beach at The Ranch.
Nonetheless, update us!
Not yet!
I placed this order within minutes of the Gen2 release on June 7 and have since confirmed my configuration with my Rivian guide after canceling our 2024 QM delivery the next day, haha.
We live ~10 minutes away from the SoCal/OC service center, so hopefully, I'll be one of the first...
I agree! ? All that aside, I went straight to the Ascend trim initially as it is the most unique, and ive only fallen in love with it more. Multiple users who have seen it in person have commented on its luxury and intricate details.
Of course, its not for everyone, but it is definitely for us...
Super lovely configuration! I had the same thought process with the Ascend trim and Storm Blue! My wife likes lighter colors, so she wins automatically.
We're settling with the awesome Rivian Blue ?
Do it! The longer you wait, the less your current Gen 1 will be worth, as the gaps are already widening to no end.
Plus, have fun trying out new colors! ?
