This is why I plan to overlap my i4 with my R2 purchase by a couple months. My R1S dropped a rear drive shaft in my first week of owning it, they had to tow it from South Jersey to Brooklyn back then. Had to make a bit of a stink to get that to be free, but those were early days.
My watch band chipped the heck out of the "chrome" strip on the handle. I put a piece of clear tape over at after I noticed what was causing it. I will cover high touch areas in my R2 with some sort of clear tape on day 1.
Visited the service center today and talked to the guys. New facility is slated to open July 17. They also got a few new loaners into their fleet. Rivian chargers are already installed in the new parking lot. That new building is going to be a serious upgrade. Just hope I can take delivery of my...

Well said. And this is the true benefit. Having spent the last 2+ years in a Rivian, the experience is great, and I get their argument to an extent (I also get that it is a cash/data grab). I didn't totally miss carplay. The fact that Rivian has Google Maps, native Apple Music andAudible, all my...
I got one for my R1S because I had the 21" tires, and they aren't generally available in a pinch. At least the spare buys you some time.
I plan on fixing that issue by getting the 20s this time around, and no spare. I do not plan on road tripping the R2 or really pushing its adventureability, I...
