GM is dropping it. https://www.motortrend.com/news/general-motors-removing-apple-carplay-android-auto-for-safety-tim-babbitt/

Many people quickly jump to catastrophize something like this and make it into a bigger deal than it need be. The fact of the matter is it's probably neutral news at worst. When you're scaling a startup you need to make decisions and prioritize where you put your effort and every investment you...

Picked ours up last Tuesday. Under 100 is normal. Paperwork always says 100 for Rivian. It had 28 miles.

Well one of us was off then. I am 6'3" and adjusted the front seat for me driving and then sat in the back for both vehicles and found the R1S to be more spacious with room to spare. Felt very cramped in the Volvo. I don't put a lot of credit in seat room measurements because the guidelines are...

I went to the showcase event here in Boston, and I was not impressed. The interior was vert nice and sticking to the Volvo aesthetic, but it is a much smaller vehicle than the R1S. The R1S just feels much bigger inside. The back seat was not nearly as comfortable. The "blinking" headlights are...

One p.s. - the only real complaint I have, but again I researched and knew about this beforehand, was that they removed any USB and 12V ports from under the dash. It's a nuisance and I will figure out a workaround, but again I knew about this out of the gate. One should not need to buy a...

I couldn't agree more and didn't mean to disparage anyone who has legitimate concerns. Candidly the legitimate issues help Rivian to improve and help other owners know what to look out for. But as I look back at some of the things that had me concerned, they were pretty silly.

I figured that anyone who goes to the depth of the internet like I do to research would appreciate the follow up to my original post: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/rivian-quality-two-genuine-questions.18852/ I also felt compelled to post this given the Consumer Reports story that is...

There have been conflicting reports about the 20" tires being more efficient than the 21" tires (when putting an All Season tire on the 20" rims). I have not seen anything definitive about this, although I am sure someone, somewhere, has done a test to prove this out and I just haven't stumbled...

From what I understand, model years for Rivian are based on year of manufacture, not year of shipment.

Since I am the original poster of this thread I thought I should circle back. I decided to move forward and take delivery in the next month. I'm pretty excited. Having done a ton of diligence and looked at other options I know this is the best option for me. Just crossing fingers I don't have a...

speechless? :)

Hey @LaJollaAaron thanks so much for this response. Many others have offered meaningful feedback that has helped with my decision, but you're the first person to actually answer both questions (without telling me about all the assumptions I've made or what kind of person I must be). Really do...

@nellbarr I appreciate this feedback. I find your commentary so interesting - love the car but you've literally driven it 9 miles and it's back to the service center. To be honest this is exactly the kind of post that I had been seeing that had me starting to question my choice. Of course you're...

Thanks for the feedback Gabe. This is very helpful.

Thank you for this unvarnished response. I appreciate it! We are a two car family (parking constraint is the main reason why) so the potential for having one car down is another consideration for us.

This is one of the best answers I've gotten so thank you! This will surprise you and anyone else following along. I actually would say I am both. I am passionate about cars, and follow the industry. I teach my kids about cars. My current ownership doesn't suggest it as a Honda Pilot and RAV4...

Thanks for your thoughts and I appreciate your genuine response. And your answer scratches at exactly what I was trying to get at. So with that you'e provided I'll ask a layer deeper - with a car that has all the problems of all your previous cars combined, what makes the Rivian so great that it...

Thanks for the input.

Thank you for your thoughts.
