I don't know about the early R1 prototype having both sides. There are some deep Rivian lovers on this forum that probably knows. As for the cost of putting two/both sides, the parts are insignificant in quantity and upfront engineering is a one time hit. When put into the production of ANY...

We drove to Palomar Observatory yesterday and on the opposite side of the road came a R1S and both the driver and the passenger actually waved at us (R1S). I haven't seen anyone do that around us - there are way too many R1S/T - so it took me by surprise and I didn't think to wave back. So if...

It appears that its lot easier for a tech company to wrap hardware around software-defined vehicle, than an auto company to stuff software into the hardware. Just take a look at Xiaomi has done with SU7. They stole and combined the styling of McLaren 750S lights and implanted onto Taycan body...

Why not put it on both front left AND right. I forgot which automaker but there one that's doing on both sides.

Completely agree. My drive from SoCal to the Bay Area takes 7.5 hours on R1S with 2 stops (don't want to arrive on empty charge). It's roughly 390 miles. The same drive takes less than 6 hours in our ICE Subaru and no stop for gas, and actually costs less in gas than electric charges. The...

Today was a beautiful day with the temperature in the mid to upper 70s in sunny SoCal (proof of why we pay the weather tax...) So, we were out and about at the Spectrum and did go into the Rivian Space (the old Hurley store). Place was packed with people. Much smaller than Venice or Laguna...

Most beaches that allow vehicles to drive onto it is pretty hard packed and controlled. Why do you need to change wheels and tires? If anything lower the tire pressure down a bit and use the proper drive mode and avoid hard acceleration - unless you want to do some sand drifting. I would just...

its the 4 drivers under 21... Ouch.

Which simply says that 98.6% of trade-in were non-Teslas and that going up from 0.4% to 1.4% is probably due to leases expiration for people who didn't want to get another Tesla. Many reasons for that includes what you all like point to as well as other incentives and options from other...

Yikes... That's a $3k/car per year. Is there an exotic sports car or RV mixed in there??

Service performance relies significantly on people who actually do the work. It varies from site to site for the same company. Clearly, Rivian needs to fix their process for the service centers, in addition to do a better job of evaluating their performance. The lack of additional service...

There is a large population of affluent potential buyers in north San Diego county that do not necessarily want to goto downtown location, just as in the Bay Area, especially down the peninsula that do not want to goto downtown SF. I just don't understand the rationale for opening Brea, when...

There is a Hub in El Segundo for all of LA county. There are three Hubs in OC (Laguna, Irvine and Brea). I guess Rivian figured out that their demographic is suburban buyers. Frankly, I believe investment would be better spent for new Hubs in Santa Barbara, San Diego, Bay Area in CA and Las...

Why do so many R1S owners drive with crossbars mounted all the time? And I see that a set is not enough so need to add a third to fill every crossbar mounting locations. It reduces range (aero drag), increase noise (aero acoustics) and increase height (limits some structure parking with lower...

If you are seeing very light yellow, you need to calibrate your monitor and/or change your color profile for the monitor. I have seen it in person and it is very beige. There is not a hint of yellow.

How much weight does this add? Another 1,000 lbs???

I use $7 Instacrate from Costco.

This is true in EVERY situation. Don't shoot the messenger !!

Environmental factors, topology and speed variation makes people posting results from all parts of the country almost useless. There is a horizontal bar on the energy consumption on the driver's screen on the left-hand side. The bar is at 2 miles/kWh. Consider that as the baseline and its a...

Appreciate you taking one for the team but hope you were going somewhere that requires driving the distance.
