My R1S Gen 2 is at 2.1 over 3,800 miles in 65 degree average temps. Sorry, I don't believe this post

I disagree..the LFP should be able to hold higher for longer and at least hold ~200 to 40%. Kyle from OOS also mentioned that it would probably be the better road tripper with the better potential curve. I had a gen 1 R1S Quad but didn't really road trip it because it charges poorly. At the time...

I took my gen2 R1S DM LFP on my first road trip to Vegas. at 5% max charge rate 150.31kW DC max rate at RAN Vegas 70 degrees. This is unacceptable at 15%, max charge rate was 175kw at EA at 25% max charge rate 150.15kW DC max rate at RAN Barstow at 55% max charge was 92kw at EA This may...

I agree with you on the audio. I have standard audio but because the shop had no premium at the time I ordered. But even then...I wouldnt pay the price they wanted for what my Gen 1 Evolution sounded like. At the time there was little info on the sound system. I tried asking live chat and the...

The system is best described as being very muddy and inconsistent and with very little separation. The sound staging seems all messed up like the sound is coming out of my feet sometimes. I've reset the system multiple times. I also had the Gen 1 Evolution which was OK. The Gen 2 system is...

anyone that says the audio is fine on a gen 2 is going to get me to discredit the rest of their opinion. I've had like 13 cars...i can't remember a car that had a worse sounding system. Especially considering the amount of power and speakers it has. I'm hoping the next update will improve it...

correct me if I am wrogn, but isn't the Rivian Gen 1 and Gen 2 the worst charging vehicle you can buy that costs more than $50k? That is pretty bad. For most people its not a big deal as most of the charging is done at home. I only do 2 roadtrips a year where it matters. But I have a 5 hour...

I just placed my order on Friday. $60k base silver LFP dual. After my tax credit its going to be like $52k. This is my 2nd one, i ordered a R1S quad with 2022 tax credit prior to this.

I view it as an upgrade. The existing door handles are in a weird area

It’s not easy though. I have a gen 2 coming and people have done it to Gen 1. But Gen 2 no longer has fuses and the standard rivian audio has no sub. The shop has very few premium audio available. So someone’s gonna have to be the guinea pig to figure out and blaze the trail so the rest of us...

It’s a shame they come with such subpar sound systems. It was hard to find a r1 in the shop with “premium” sound system. Rivian guide couldn’t even answer if it is using same speakers as gen 1. I ended up just buying a rivian audio standard version. Use the 1,500 saved and go install a focal...

These threads reminds me of the people who said that the peregrine was just cost savings and to just order a pre refresh.

All the reviewers said the suspension on R1s is like a new car. The electrical overhaul and overall lightening of the truck can’t be underestimated. New electrical subsystem for vampire drain as it was clearly an issue that they tackled directly. One thing not focused on is the new body...

it would be nice if they did address that specifically. There is probably more efficiency loss to wake an entire car if it is just trying to charge the 12v than putting a battery tender on for extended periods of time.

on a pure kw burn rate I doubt it will beat smaller cars. It still needs to maintain the battery, a larger battery. But on a % basis, maybe. I mean they specifically designed the system to tackle vampire drain as it was absurdly high in the beginning. Also having UWB keys will help with...

This is what Rivian claims, not me. Their engineers said it was a major problem for gen 1 due to charging the 12v. So they built a subsystem that can now charge the 12v without waking the car. Rivian claims it has the lowest vampire drain in the industry now. Their words, not mine.

heat pump efficiency gains much softer suspension and quieter on R1S lowest vampire drain in the industry with the new electrical subsystem more solid body - for handling and stability and noise

yes, if the plan is to release by end of this year, I would hope they had it planned ahead that it would be a simple swap out of refresh. If you look at the new port it looks like you can remove the CCS port. I'm ordering a Gen 2 as I have a voucher and hope I can retrofit out the port later.

Kyle from Out of Spec if you watch the video. He says he believes NACS is coming end of this year. He spent a lot of time with Rivian

I'm getting a refresh, likely the DM Standard. I already have a quad gen 1. The LFP battery can be charged to 100%, will have a better charging curve so may outrun a quad motor in a roadtrip as it can essentially hold its max power all the way close to 80. There just too many benefits of the...
