R1S - Underrated Driver's Car (Rivian Driving Dynamics Appreciation Thread)

[SwampNut]

I have now spent quite a bit of time driving both a gen 1 and gen 2 R1S. I am shocked at how awful it handles. If I had driven the SUV instead of the truck first I would have excluded Rivian from any thought of buying one.

Have you driven the Gen2 S? It feels lighter and more nimble to me than the T. Comfort wise it is not as good, but I think it handles better. The T lumbers more, both in a good and bad way.

It's squirrely, bouncy, and unstable. Simply awful.

Driving is waaaay better than my former 2019 Ram on airbags
