Official: 2025 R1T & R1S Refresh / Facelift (2nd Gen) Specs and Photos! Quad Motor gets 1,025 HP and 0-60 in 2.5 Seconds!!!

[Southern R1S]

I guess if you like bragging the 1000 hp is cool. Honestly as an owner of a quad I would be fine with the regular DM even. But at the time of purchase it was only $500 difference in price for me.

Insurance didn't like the 800hp I can only imagine the penalty at 1000

I was discussing this with a buddy the other day. I love my quad motor, but I can't think of a single situation where I've ever felt like I needed more than 835hp, nor can I think of a time where 500+ hp wouldn't have done the job either.

Cool / fun to have, but extremely limited usage in practice (unless you enjoy buying new tires once a month, which I don't).

Hopefully they will also make this a paid retrofit upgrade for existing owners now happy with their current audio.

(I'm still hopeful that some aftermarket companies will make an easy upgrade path for the Rivs. I'm not interested in just a subwoofer upgrade.)

I still think we'll see a paid upgrade pathway for the processing hardware (similar to what Tesla offers), but I would be absolutely shocked to see an upgrade pathway offered by Rivian for audio & can't recall a time when an auto company has ever done widespread, post-sale audio upgrades (paid or otherwise).

Also have to keep in mind how strained the service centers are already, so it's possible that alone will preclude any upgrade paths altogether.

Looks like the seats have a new pattern of stitches and hope they added better side bolsters, compared to the old seats.

I have had a R1T launch edition since early on that I will be upgrading to the new R1S. Need the extra space. My kids are growing too fast!

I wish I could get at my 835hp in all purpose so I don't have to switch to sport for on ramps. Maybe that means All Purpose will now have 900hp and switch to sport for the full 1025hp or something like that.

Wait, we don't have full power on all purpose? Has that been confirmed? Feels the same to me in sport just the mapping of the pedal is different.

Either way it's plenty.

100%. That maple wood is straight out of a 2006 Range Rover kit that someone bought on eBay.

I've got to be honest, I love it.

Open Questions:

• Do the cameras have improved resolution?
• Might be my reading comprehension, but are they stating the OS should run more smoothly with improved compute hardware or just ADAS?

Other:

• Odd they didn't redesign the dagger that is the gear tunnel door. People were getting themselves cut on this a bit it seemed.

This is likely UWB so, no, Gen 1 vehicles won't get it.

Ah, fair point.

There is an off-road application. Currently with QM if you only have grip on one wheel you can only get about 200 hp and the thermals don't hold up so it's really easy to get into turtle mode until things cool down on some obstacles. The Enduro drive units supposedly have better thermals and now you'll have closer to 250 hp at any given wheel. But to your original point, on the street...it won't make much of a difference to 99.999% of people. What I'd really like is a QM with a way to lock the axles for better control on tough obstacles along with the 180 kWh (11 module) max pack we were originally supposed to get.

How about $20,000 price cut?

I giggled at work and people looked at me because of this.

I was switching back between article and current model photos... And seems like article got taken down. Oops

Apple wallet key SHOULD = Apple Watch key since it has wallet too.

Pretty sure it isn't but not 100% certain. I thought somewhere it said it is held back some in all purpose.
