Acquired R1S 2022 quad Launch edition -- what's next

[usulio]

Hey everyone, I recently bought a R1S Rivian, first EV..ever. It has 20,234 miles on it and lightly used. Bought from friend at Carvana price of $54,000. I hope this is a good deal The first plan is to protect it with PPF and ceramic coat. I like the green but want to do a satin matte black.

Anyone have ideas?

I would start with Moab or Yellowstone and go from there

Killer price for sure! Shame to cover up that LE Green though. Looking forward to seeing the results.

Well that was fast! Finished product. At least the launch edition green is being protected by the Satin Matte Black XPEL wrap. Home Tesla charger on 60amp showing 11kw when charging. I guess that’s good. Also my 100% charged battery on conservative mode says I have 285 miles so it has some battery degradation I assume.

Came out great! Did you do the work yourself, and if so, do you have experience with wrapping vehicles..?

I had a local wrap guy do it. It was high $8000 for total body wrap including door panels, roof and smoke out the headlights and brakes

It may just need to learn your driving habits, I've seen that change over time. Or it did learn your habits, and you drive like a lunatic, LOL.

I guess I should give up my car's name (which was the name it had when I bought it used), as you clearly have earned it better. Mine was originally black, but not all tinted/blacked out.

I just noticed something. You need to order the dark badge kit from Abstract Ocean.
