    Big dump haul

    We traded our R1T for the R1S which I think it has even more storage to haul a bunch of boxes to the dump. Impressed.

    Why is 4 mi/kwh the max in the Efficiency screen?

    I am getting them on my ā€commuteā€ to town and it isnā€™t very steep - 35-45mph with a few hundred feet of vertical over 8-10 miles.

    Why is 4 mi/kwh the max in the Efficiency screen?

    Seems like there is a hard limit @ 4 mi/kwh on the efficiency screen no matter how slow or how much you descend. That screen and the max efficiency was the same for our R1T with 20ā€ AT as it is for the dual motor R1S with 21ā€ AS tires. Anyone know why?

    “Interesting” first week moving from 2022 R1T w/20” wheels to R1S Dual Max w/21" wheels

    After the rough start, this week has had a positive finish. We brought ā€Luna Roverā€ into the detailing shop for PPF partial front coverage, ceramic coating (first time trying it), and ceramic tint on all the windows except for the cracked front window. I had hoped that the rear factory tint...

    Need Advice on getting quad vs. dual

    Your experience with the loaner is interesting. We just traded our quad R1T (ā€™22) for a dual R1S (built 1/25/24). I find the motor noise to be less than our quad (which wasnā€™t super loud anyway) and havenā€™t had any issues the acceleration/regen transition. The one big thing I notice is...

    Should I return to R1T......... and Trade in 2023 Tesla Model S to lease a new R1T

    Sold our refreshed Tesla model S Long range and now have the R1S. I much prefer the Rivian. The only things that were better about the Tesla are: 1) much better efficiency due to being a lighter, more aero car 2) acceleration was more violent than the R1 (even quad) 3) supercharging...

    “Interesting” first week moving from 2022 R1T w/20” wheels to R1S Dual Max w/21" wheels

    Loved my 20ā€ darks when the tires were new but hated them @ 10K+. I got a r1T loaner this week with 20ā€ with a new set pirelliā€™s AT and they were almost as quiet as the 21ā€ AS so it wasnā€™t my imagination. I just want/need the max range so went with 21ā€™s this time.

    “Interesting” first week moving from 2022 R1T w/20” wheels to R1S Dual Max w/21" wheels

    Agreed. Yesterday on the way back from Vegas doing the listed speed limit 75 and a very strong cross wind (some tail) got barely 2.1 though there is 1200 feet of net elevation gain as well.

    “Interesting” first week moving from 2022 R1T w/20” wheels to R1S Dual Max w/21" wheels

    Wife, lab pup and I drove from St. George UT in our Silver R1T with 14K miles (Stargazer) into the Las Vegas service center on Feb 22nd and pickup up our 2024 R1S Max pack standard dual (Silver, Black Mtn, 21ā€ AS we named Luna Rover - Luna is the pupā€™s name). We traded because with the dog, the...

    Sat in a Lucid last weekend...

    Based on my test drive a year ago the leather interior was my favorite part of the car (and I liked the car overall). The smell and feel was incredible. I havenā€™t compared to many high -end cars with leather just mercedes and bmw - but I thought it was fantastic. Also the massaging seats were great.

    How does Rivian calculate the mileage range when EPA numbers say it is much less

    Also I find lots of suburban stop and go can hurt your efficiency depending how you drive. I tend to feather the acceleration/regen most of the time whereas my lovely wife is a bit more abrupt and it shows in our relatively efficiency. It doesnā€™t make much difference with our very light BMWi3...
