IMO they were about the same, maybe the R2 felt slightly shorter on the cushion but if anything, found them slightly softer than the R1. Adjustability felt similar.
I hear what you are saying also but driving dynamics being the best part of the vehicle made sense in a more analogue world. The reason software matters so much now it is because it very much affects how you interact with a vehicle. Amazing driving dynamics will not get you excited enough to...
Seems like they are based out of CA, which puts me out of the question (also no R2 in hand unfortunately). I will likely keep the stock mats until they are able to release something for the R2. I have really liked them in my wife's Model Y. Simple to remove and put back as well as durable and...
The last sentence really nails it. They are really clueless about what sells. Rivian and Lucid started selling vehicles around the same time. Rivian understanding the market is the reason they are doing so much better now than Lucid in comparison.
Lucid released a Gravity X concept last year...
They also let go of two really high ranking execs, including the interim CEO (current COO). Based on the last earning call, the new face of Lucid appears to be an old schools numbers guy. This also comes at the current constraints facing service centers and turnaround time. Stock is dropping...
This. It is 1,000% this. They are certainly people who could use the harvester for more off the beaten path journeys, but this is not the majority. Everyone I talk to knows I love my EVs and always bring Scout to my attention as if they have solved the problem. What problem? How many people...
They had a good amount of R1S and T on the lot along with Amazon vans but no R2 in sight sadly. I'm still torn on my color choices so was hoping to see more in person to sway me one way or the other. I also drove over to the Orland SC while I was there to and caught my first glimpse of a LG R2...
I know. I was more so looking at what they had on their lots to catch a glimpse of other colors and if they were doing deliveries. I have already test driven it.
Honestly makes them seem pretty close on paper, with the Trailseeker appearing a better deal compared to the Rivian lower trims.
I learned not to buy the spec sheet though. A test drive reveals a lot of intangibles that will tell you very quickly how enjoyable a respective car can be on a day...
Yeah in the southeast, it feels like all the highways are semis, lifted full size pickups and suburbans, I remember driving my BMW (2 series convertible) down 95 in Florida last year. While relatively fast, I felt I was being bullied. Everything around me was huge and just flying by. Love the...
Honestly, pretty balanced review. Interested in test driving one now, if they have any in stock at my local Subaru...we'll see. Glad you didn't hate it!
A price hike would kill the R1. I foresee them likely cutting cost on the production end while keeping current prices (or slightly higher) using what they learn from the R2 and likely some part sharing. It is what it is. I just hope the R1 sticks around and I think it will. Still plenty they can...
This is why Subaru did the Trailseeker the way they did - familiarity. They fear ICE buyers won't accept an EV unless it imitates its ICE siblings. While I get the desire for the things you mentioned, it does not necessarily make for the better experience. There is some weird pushback on the...
While I think a lot of us are replacing our R1 vehicles with an R2, I do not think these were meant to be cross shopped, per se. The R1 was the only option for a while. Those of us who do not need a bigger vehicle are much more drawn to the R2 for just that - size.
Likewise, if you want a...
Had a forest green R1 for two years. Loved the color. Would not hesitate to get it again on the R2.
Can get very dark (almost black) in the shade and then lighten up to a nice emerald in direct sunlight. Overcast weather makes it look outstanding. It was one of those colors that I always...
I'm waiting for 3D Mats or Tuxmats to become available. Those have been my favorites to date.
LinerX feels a bit too plasticky for me and Weather Tech has been trash as of late. In my experience. any way.
The dealership model was enough to get me to abandon looking at any of the Volvo, Hyundai or Cadillac EVs. They don't carry much inventory on the EV side, and if they do, the sales people want 0 part of it. It is sad. I get that EVs aren't selling like hotcakes here in America, but dealerships...
