We have a gen 1 and gen 2 quad. The gen 2 is built like trash compared to the first gen. It’s not worth it IMO. Maybe if you care about the autonomy stuff but otherwise i think the gen 2 is a terrible value.

That's a bummer. We have a Gen2 Tri and the build quality is excellent. Definitely not a terrible value.

I disagree. My gen 2 quad is a much better build quality than my gen 1 quad was. I feel it was definitely worth it.

I placed an order for a storm blue quad R1T with the dune wheels at the Austin rivian space this afternoon.
Congrats!
Keep us updated. I have a serious itch for the new quad, but my low vin 22’-T has been rock solid (knock on wood) so I’m scared to give it up.

I absolutely love that the storm blue changes colors completely depending on ambient light. Great build! What interior color!?

Metallic paints doing what they are designed to do. Tiny metal flakes, and the type of metal, acting like mirrors. Also harder to repair correctly.

It’s still only a base coat without mid. These are not difficult colors to repair and the refinish formulas have proven to be solid for everything but yellow.

Sadly can confirm re compass yellow.

Re the best interior color: go dark if you going to use it near mud, slate blue if not. (I love my slate blue until the end of any muddy ride, then regret choices.)

I’m a new quad owner - the power/torque are unbelievable. Climbs mountains effortlessly, passes 18-wheelers in an instant, and is a beast off the line.
You won’t be disappointed.

Black mountain. I think the color on the ash is great.

Slate Sky + Walnut in mine. Coordinates well with the SB paint.
