  1. New R1S owners, please enlighten us on insurance coverage

    Connect by American family was $424/6mo for me in Oregon, multiple vehicles on policy and I bundled with other insurance.
  2. WTH is up w/ R1S Delivery Prioritization!?

    If OP’s forum tone is anything like his tone with CSR, I’d want to end the chat/test ride asap, too… haven’t seen such frequent use of caps lock in years across multiple vehicle forums, including in van forums where folks pay $20-30k up charges for vans they’ve been waiting on for years.
  3. Volvo EX90 could be worthy competitor to R1S

    I called Volvo CS and they said deliveries now anticipated for "Fall 2024." When I asked what that means, CSR said September/October. I also asked about what the email meant with regards to Volvo implying that they have an "interim" option for those who need a vehicle in the meantime. This was...
  4. Possibly some activity in Portland

    Heard they're opening this Friday when I was on my 2nd test ride (R1S on 20" wheels) earlier this week. Speaking of which, does anyone have an R1S with 21" wheels? ?
  5. Moving from 21" to 20" tires (no offroad) recommendations

    How do you like the ride of the 21s? I’m thinking about switching to 20s from 21s for my R1S but it looks like Nokian is releasing a snow tire for the 21s.
  6. Ride quality R1S vs R1T? Should I be worried about reviews?

    I just drove an R1S with 20" wheels compared to the 22" wheels on the previous demo R1S. The 22" wheels had quite a rough ride in my area of town such that there wasn't any meaningful difference in ride quality to my Model Y. The 20" wheels were BOMB and drove like the R1T with 20" wheels that I...
  7. No tax credit for Rivian (effective April 18, 2023)

    The IRS on Tuesday released an updated list of cars that will qualify under thew new battery guidelines on FuelEconomy.gov. It goes into effect on Tuesday. Overall, General Motors and other U.S. auto makers stand to benefit the most from the revamped rules. Several of the most popular models...
  8. Tesla Price Cuts Across The Board

    Just took delivery of my '23 Model Y. This is our 3rd after a '21 then '22 versions which had 35k miles between the both of them. Each vehicle has been better than the previous and this '23 Model Y is the best yet. It's quieter with felt-lined door pockets, more comfortable suspension that...
  9. Powered running boards from AMP - Incoming?

    I have AMP Research Powersteps on my sprinter and love them; there are body cavities under the van that allow for placement of motors above the plane of the structural members beneath the van and the steps tuck nicely against the body minimizing any potential ground clearance issues. This would...
  10. Tesla Price Cuts Across The Board

    Wonder if the Model S with jump seats is considered an SUV. That would've been a neat potential forcing function to drop prices on Model S! =P
  11. Ride quality R1S vs R1T? Should I be worried about reviews?

    Going to duck from the tomato-throwing mob of internet trolls now, but I thought the ride of the R1S one week ago was similar to our now-sold 2022 Model Y. We took the R1S on an hour long first-mile drive around our neighborhood/Portland and was expecting the same "float over bumps" from...
  12. For those who got R1S (or R1T) at original approximately $78k would you buy one for new price of approximately $93k?

    In the distribution of canine athleticism for 40-60 lb dogs, I’d say that my dogs are probably median to 75th percentile. When they were just entering adulthood, they were less cautious and would jump from heights that probably wouldn’t be good for any dog’s long term skeletal health. For my...
  13. Tesla Price Cuts Across The Board

    I love my Model Y. It’s one of the best engineered cars I’ve ever driven. Could suspension be softer and range be a little bit higher? Absolutely. However, for $50s to even mid $60s, I don’t think there’s a car that beats it. For a $45k cost basis, no brainer. Literally was on SlickDeals front...
  14. For those who got R1S (or R1T) at original approximately $78k would you buy one for new price of approximately $93k?

    Was in lowest setting and even with that, it’s easily 6-8” taller than the back of my 4Runner. My dogs could get in but just needed a running start and they were initially reluctant. They’re 50 lb and healthy, go running/ski touring with me… I’m almost offended at the implication blaming my...
  15. For those who got R1S (or R1T) at original approximately $78k would you buy one for new price of approximately $93k?

    Model Y is probably the best engineered car that I’d driven until the refreshed S/X came out. I’m on my second Model Y with now 35k miles between the two cars with a 3rd that I just ordered yesterday. I’ve driven the R1T and R1S. Great cars but not perfect. R1T 2nd row seats too vertical and not...

    You guys need the EDV! :idea:
