I have had so many bad experiences with SSF. I will never take my R1T to SSF for service again. Brought my bride there for an R2 test drive today, what an F'd up welcome. The only human in the office refused to help us, because "I'm service" If we buy her an R2, it will be somewhere else. The...
True, I took my first ride in a Y this week, very impressed. And wife will not be off-roading. But, it's a car. Wife likes sitting up above cars, has come to enjoy the visibility down the road. The NYT article about pedestrian deaths & injuries due to ever-increasing height of vehicles has...
Reserved a test drive for today, but not for me. My wife is the average height American woman, 5' 3", and is so uncomfortable driving my R1T that she has only done so once. She loves her 2011 RAV 4, but it is very near the end of its life. Took her to see the exterior of R2 in Palo Alto, but...
You caught me staring at the roof, wondering how it could be eye-level to a six-footer, while the R2 has 9.6" of ground clearance, gobs of front and rear interior space for my longish legs, great visibility out the windows, yet is also easy for 5' 3" wife to access. In this regard, the driver's...
Downloaded update as soon as available on Monday 10/27, spooky mode worked on first try during the day, but could not access mode in the evening or now, even in Camp Mode. Wifi strong, did several system resets, mobile app shows car in spooky mode. This does not seem unusual to me. I...
Put 20" Territories on my R1T, and I think (after 1,000 miles) that they are giving similar mileage to my previous 22" Scorpions. Of course, not able to tell due to the software update that has my trip meter reading 1.61 miles/kWh while my 15 minute read is consistently around 2.50 miles/kWh...
9. The EHA is kind of scary passing trucks. It holds the center of the lane regardless of what the truck next to you is doing. You know it can see the truck because little yellow radar icons are at the side of the truck in the UI. But as the truck driver veers across his lane toward you the R1...
Link is to an SF Standard News story. Nice to see the Levi's heir gift SF with this.
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie buys $134K Rivian for his official ride
I dropped by the SSF Rivian spot on my way home about a month ago, without a test drive reservation. It was like 2pm, and they were happy to let me take an R1T out for a half hour spin. Give it a whirl!
