One has a soul and speaks to you, the other is just fast.
I'd take the R1S over the Lambo any day. Those things are just for driving slowly around city streets revving the engine with your windows down whilst wearing an unbuttoned shirt and big gold chain.

It's a great option, even if it's not the ultimate sound. I'll never play it loudly. I had the same thing in my Jeep Launch Edition Gladiator. It's always got a place to live, that keeps it charged. I'm annoyed at charging things. And at storing things. It works well and I don't have to care that I left it outside in the rain, which WILL happen with my memory.

Would I pay what they ask for it? HELLLLLL NO. Bury it in the Launch Edition cost? Sure, lol.
Yeah, I'm not complaining about it as a no added cost, no choice option (sure, you could say it was baked into the launch edition cost, but I don't get the impression that Rivian looked at it that way), and I do appreciate really like it when I use it, but I'm not sure what the pick-up rate will be as a $450 option:

I'm a bit confused about the turn this thread took, but yes, when I pull up next to a sports car at a red light I just have to reach over and grab the camp speaker to face out the window. I put on Thunderstruck and that's how they know it's on.
