I would do the 22s again though I don’t think you can go wrong here. But this is hard to answer as I have to include the caveat that the air suspension definitely settles or breaks in after the first few months. My R1S is a dramatically better ride than it was when I took delivery December 30th...
After banging around on potholed city roads for 1,500 miles, my R1S felt different but I thought it was in my head. Upon delivery, it was fine but I couldn’t quite find a setting that comfortably handled said terrible roads. “Flinty” was the word a magazine reviewer used and I, begrudgingly...
I can contribute here too as I have the same problem with my R1S: flickering house LED lights when charging (I simply schedule it for overnight as a temp fix). But, let me add a few points to consider:
-My Tesla M3 Performance charges off the same (14-50) plug with the Tesla mobile charger with...
In my case, I’m waiting a bit on the lift gate if only for Rivian to get the service centers at speed. If it rattled or squeaked, it would have been scheduled immediately. But, as is, maybe they figure out the “trick” on getting it set up properly about the time I need to have it in for...
That lift gate is a consistent problem on the R1S, it seems. Mine in GW as well looks v similar but, perhaps, slightly better. Other than clearly having an issue with their production install/QC at factory, part of the lift gate issue is angle as the back is a slight curve, part of it is the...
I back down my driveway on a hill and the high regenerative braking is difficult to modulate in reverse going down the incline. I’d like the option for it to automatically run off in reverse and stay on high for everything else. Small thing, I know.
I agree here. My R1S bests the 2021 Volvo XC90 it replaced. And my air-suspension Jeep Grand Cherokee before that. And any number of rental SUVs. I prefer it to my Tesla Model 3 performance as well. I’ve found it ridiculously competent —particularly for an SUV.
They weren’t criticizing high speed on-road handling while using all terrain tires, were they? Oh wait…
They’re funny —but between not acknowledging the tires and the four press (when it only takes one) steering wheel adjustment, they’re hard to take seriously.
I don’t have my R1S yet (this Friday!). But, I can report battery pack replacements happen as I just had my 2020 Tesla Model 3 Performance in after 20k miles for a replacement (under warranty). The amazing thing to me was that nothing had gone wrong —just one day I got a service soon message w a...
My suspicion for awhile has been that the supply chain issues and production chaos is far worse than they’re saying or we can see. This is why they can’t be and haven’t been more transparent —investors will revolt and preorders will stall and shrink or vice versa. They’re playing the string out...
