After two and a half weeks with my R1S...

[who764]

I haven't been able to see Forest Edge in person yet. Is it more of a subtle green on the seats? I love the look of it in pictures, but I fear I might get tired of it is it is *too* green.

...I am absolutely amazed by this vehicle. The instant acceleration and torque are intoxicating. The handling around corners at high speed seems to break the laws of physics. The style is unique, aggressive yet friendly. The Meridian sound system has me wanting to re-listen to all of my old favorite music for sounds I never knew were there. The frunk...so convenient. I never knew I needed a frunk until I had one.































Launch green with forest edge interior looks so good together. Forest edge is worth the upgrade, imo. It is rich and beautiful.































Here's another testimonial to a great delivery experience and an excellent vehicle with no issues.































I know a lot of people have answered questions and posted photos at this point, but if anyone needs anything answered or has specific photo requests, let me know and I'll try to accommodate.





















































































































Waiting on ours and thabks for posting this.



























































































































































CONGRATULATIONS!!!

The FE looks great. I ended up changing to BM to take delivery sooner. I love the wood grain but was less certain of the leather. After seeing the BM in person, the charcoal look instead of black on the leather made me go with BM.

I prefer the look of the cross bars up front. Front/center or front/rear either way. But yes, they whistle. I found another R1S owner locally that I split a 2nd pair of CBs with so now I'm sporting all 3 and I love the look. I had to get service to order a lock kit so they all used the same key but they were accommodating. It was $60 for 4 locks. No way to order just 2.

Thanks for sharing the great pics!

congrats and nice pics. how you liking the 21s? what type of driving do you do, whats the weather like there and hows the R1S handle in it?

I am really happy with the 21s. It was a struggle getting here. I had 20s reserved from the beginning. Hard to pass up a free upgrade. But the range hit and additional noise bothered me. Ultimately I switched to the 21s after someone suggested that Land Rovers come with regular all-weather tires. For some reason that was the final nudge I needed to be ok with not taking the free upgrade. It was the practical choice, and I'm glad I made it. They look really good in person once the aero covers are removed.

I do a lot of local and some highway driving. We haven't had any snow yet, but that was in my calculus for not going with the 22s. I will report back when I have an opportunity to test in snow.

How's the ride and handling? Any excessive/noticeable interior noises like the air suspension?

Ride and handling are amazing. I don't notice any bouncing that some have reported. I keep it in all-purpose mode, auto ride height, high regen, and it is perfect. I put it in sport mode on the highway to test it out and it was firm.

I hear compressor noises after I park and get out of the car, but never while I'm inside.

Canon or Nikon?

Canon. It's just what I started with, so I've stuck with it.

Looks awesome. Are those Rivian mats or different mats? How is the range on a full charge?

The front mats are Weathertech. Waiting for them to release the middle and rear mats...

Range is good, but I don't travel enough to keep track. I charge to 70% every night. I did run it down to 20% the other day.

What range r u getting without aero covers

We have ours on the middle and back also. Found leaving it on the front whistled too much while driving. Will move one of them forward when needed.

With middle and back in place, is there wind noise?

Congratulations and thanks for sharing the pictures. Some of the best R1S pictures I have seen.

Yes. But it’s not too bad from the drivers seat. Kids say they hear it over the 3rd row.

 

[ranieri]

Do the crossbars fit in the rear storage area? The website has them at 51.5" and I think the floor section right behind the 3rd row seat is a little wider than that?

I wish they would sell me a vehicle so I could just measure it.

The crossbars fit, but at a slight angle. There is definitely enough room for both behind the 3rd row.

That’s not ideal, but at least it’s an option. Thanks

It is kind of a gray-green. More gray than the launch green, but they compliment each other really well. The wood color is what really sold me on forest edge interior.

Wood trim or plastic on the back of the front seats?

Plastic, unfortunately.
