Following this closely. I apologize for posting my concern in several threads, but this one seems to address my concerns the best. I have 22" tires (mistake?) and have noticed that bumpy roads at low speeds are pretty harsh in sport mode - very bumpy. You can really feel it. I just started...

Have you found the suspension in all-purpose mode to be noticeably smoother than in sport mode? I have found the car to be pretty harsh on bumps in sport mode.

Can anyone comment in the suspension in Sport vs. All Purpose? I have had the car for a few days. I find the ride very, very bumpy on uneven surfaces at low speeds when driving in Sport mode. I have not played with All Purpose enough yet to know if the ride quality is any smoother.

Thanks, @DaveA. What bothers you about the R1T? The noise? The ride? Both? Like you said, at speed, it feels awesome. On bumps, it's crazy. My wife was wearing a winter coat in the car last night. At really low speed in a parking lot, every bump and uneven spot throw her around so much that I...

What were you driving right before the R1T? I suppose those driving ICE trucks find it smooth. I was driving a Tesla Model X, which is about as smooth as they come. So, for me, the change is harsh.

There is a huge thread on the R1S vs. the R1T, but rather than poring through all 8 pages to find R1T specific feedback, I thought I'd give the R1T its own thread. I just took delivery of an R1T after about a two year wait. I am still forming my (good and bad) first impressions. The most...

My nearly two year journey to take home a Rivian is nearly complete. I sold my Model X Plaid this week and I go to Normal tomorrow to pick up an R1T! I will detail more thoughts on my rationale and eventually my first impressions when I get a little more time!

Great stuff. Thank you! Can you tell me a little about your history of driving Tesla vs. Rivian? You still have a Tesla? Your thoughts on the Rivian? I know they are very different cars with different purposes. Thanks.

This thread reminds me of the Model X Waiting Room over at TMC. That thread got me through some rough times! I have a data point and a question: I ordered in March or April 2021. Changed my configuration from R1S to R1T just before the 15th, and Bam! - I am scheduled for a factory delivery...

Sorry if this has already been answered: For anyone doing a factory delivery (picking up at the factory), do you still need to pay a destination fee? I see it on my documents and would rather not pay for something I am not getting (vehicle transportation).

Brief background: Long time Tesla driver here, making the conversion to an R1T. After waiting about two years, I am scheduled to pick up my Rivian next weekend! Meanwhile, I am already starting to feel something I never felt in a Tesla: range anxiety. Tesla makes it really, really easy to plan...

Great stuff. Which MX did you have? Like you, I charge almost always at home. I’m sure this is discussed elsewhere, but any thoughts on the driving experience on an R1S vs. R1T?

So, I appear to be getting closer to a Rivian. I just got all the emails about a guide and 8 steps to delivery, etc. I am leaning towards keeping my MX Plaid, but want to hear from any other Tesla drivers out there who can comment on the driving experience of an R1 vs. a Tesla. I drove a...

Very good thoughts. Also, it makes little financial sense to make the change since my car is paid for. I may stick with it for now and wait for Rivian to work out more kinks.

This looks like the thread for me! TLDR: Should I bail on my Tesla Plaid Model X for an R1, and is my reasoning insane? Like others here, I have been with Tesla since the beginning - circa 2012. I started as a Tesla fanboy, then a fan, then became tolerant, and am currently intolerant. I own...

Happy with it?

I'm being lazy and didn't read the entire thread. Do you also have a Rivian or are waiting?

I am looking at doing the same and am questioning the decision. Have a decent offer on my (pretty new) Model X Plaid. You are happier with the Rivian over the Model X?

You have a current Model X? I have had one for years (now have Plaid) and am considering selling to get into my Rivian on order. Trying to find members who have left Tesla for Rivian. Is there a thread for this??

I am not on here enough to know the answer - it may be posted already: is Ocean Coast definitely pushing out dates? If so, I'll gladly change my configuration.
