    Can't imagine a worse car-buying experience

    I had a great delivery experience (in Boston) and it was very, very different than what youā€™re describing. That said, there are jerks in every company, or maybe he was just really having a bad day. Who knows. That said, Iā€™m pretty sure theyā€™ll give you an opportunity to leave feedback on your...

    R1T vs Raptor R U-Drag Race: Quarter Mile, Handling & More! [Edmunds]

    There is zero surprise here. The R1T is just soooo quick and it really does handle well. I was impressed by that aspect of mine. It was just so planted, quick, and smoother than it should have been for all that weight. If someone offered me either one though, I'd probably take the RaptorR...

    Anyone know where to get plastic hub centric rings 77.80 OD X 64.10 ID?

    Reach out to these folks: https://www.ssr-wheels.com/product-category/wheel-accessories/hub-rings/ I just got a weird set that I think they custom made for me for some aftermarket wheels on a friends Honda. Perfect and all in was $54 shipped. Small money.

    Cybertruck Highway Range Test by Out Of Spec

    One thing I really like about our Ioniq 5 is the guess-o-meter is pretty darn accurate and lets you know whatā€™s using the juice. Tesla has amazing infrastructure, but the range claims are laughable. Our 20AT wearing R1T was pretty darn accurate too. Would assume they are even better now that...

    Tesla to open Supercharger network to Ford and GM in February 2024

    So we picked up an Ioniq 5 a few weeks ago. This is the only EV Iā€™ve had other that the R1T we had for a while. Anyway, I only charged the R1T with the portable charger and it worked out great. Could easily go from 20-80 overnight on our Large. The Hyundai came with ā€œfreeā€ EA charging and a...

    Apparently my EV9 preorder is coming next week…

    this is just how things work with the franchise business model. When we got our Bronco Raptor (for the original MSRP well over a year ago, we were the exception. The rule was crazy markups (some at $30 to $50k). Ford said they wanted to rein it in, but didnā€™t have much power to do a thing...

    I have to finance an R1T is this a bad idea?? No lease available in Utah

    There are a million very *mathy* reasons to take loans for this, or spread payments out for thatā€¦ making a few percent by investing and carrying a note is for me, no comparison to *not owing anybody* and the massive freedom that brings. I love cars, and man, do I buy a lot of them. But man...

    Any 2023 R1S reservation holders asked to configure?

    I was a 1/1/23 res and was emailed to config last week. I cancelled my order. The config email also said I could only do a dual motor option.

    Any 2023 R1S reservation holders asked to configure?

    My R1T was great, but the roads where I live made for a noisy and rough drive and it just got to be too much. So I sold it to someone who loves it and for whom it was a big upgrade. I kept my BRaptor and started looking for another EV. We picked up an IONIQ 5. Itā€™s very different from the...

    Any 2023 R1S reservation holders asked to configure?

    Iā€™m had a 1/1/23 R1S res (after having a ā€˜22 R1T) and received some ā€œhow the buying process worksā€ and ā€œpreparing for your Rivianā€ type emails over the last couple of weeks so I figure they were getting close. But I cancelled this pre-order the day I bought another EV. Wasnā€™t interested in...

    Buy a used quad or wait for dual reservation

    Forget the motors of the quad - they sound actually cool, it is the front suspension of the quad that has me looking at a Dual Performance over another Quad. I need a nice, long test drive of an R1 over Boston roads before I buy another Rivian, and Iā€™m 100% will to ā€œdowngradeā€ to get it as the...

    R1S delivery, factory flaw in door

    PDR as weā€™ve all certainly seen, can be amazing! How someone could get *inside* that panel, I certainly do not know. Especially if there were other issues, Iā€™d return it.

    Any other 2020 orders besides mine still not delivered?

    I live like 12 miles from a service center and man, it was a giant pain when I needed service. I canā€™t imagine living 500! Iā€™m sure the odds are better of Rivian making a *perfect* R1T, but theyā€™re definitely not so perfect for me to take that risk (at least after my ā€˜22 and what it needed...

    How noisy is your front end?

    Curious if any Dual Motor folks have any feedback on their front ends / suspension noise? The R1T that was the genesis of this thread moved on last Spring, but I have since test driven an R1S that was better (bot not perfect) and seen so many R1T's that I think I might want another one...

    Wisconsin MAX Pack R1T 2023 Dual Motor Performance - LA Silver over Black Mountain - $86K OBO

    Folks can ask whatever they like. Can't fault a guy for trying to recoup the tax, title and license that he had to pay after getting it for that pre-March '22 price. I know where I am I'd be pretty close to that number with all the state fees and the like tossed in...

    1 Year, 19,000 Miles, 7,500 kWh @ 2.47 mi/kWh and 2 Service Visits... Love the R1T Daily Driver!

    I am super impressed by that efficiency! That is way above what I saw with my 20ā€™s. Despite my love for the look of the dark 20 inchers, this is yet more proof that the wallet wants 21ā€™s!

    Rate the Rivian specific music streaming services....

    We had Tidal when we had our R1T and I really appreciated the sound quality over Spotify and the fact that they pay artists more. That means something to me. I do wish they had Apple Music though as I use that more at home. I did end up cancelling though ad I sold the Rivian and the speakers...

    Lifted Rivian R1T on lift kit and 38s!! + Drag Race vs. Ram TRX

    Our Raptor rides on 37x12.5ā€™s from the factory and dang, I wouldnā€™t have it any other way. 10ā€ of tire + 13ā€ of suspension is the jam! If we ever get our R1S, we wonā€™t go 20ATā€™s again as the range hit on our R1T was real. I think the only problem the truck the OP posted and that look is the...
