I spend much of my year in Either northern Michigan with family or in Colorado with friends so I was banking on the quad motor benefits over even a dual motor with LSD at the back. Spend a lot of time in snowy and/or unmapped terrain.

I don't have to have anything. The problem is that we were sold on something that will never materialize. I could drop to the dual motor (which we know little about), but then I could've just bought a Lightning. Yes, less range, but so is the large pack, which I could've possibly have had for...

I am FUMING over this. We've been waiting multiple years to get the Max Pack-Quad Motor. We all gave them the benefit of the doubt for so much, me especially: -Price increase (which they reneged on, but not really if you think about all of this other stuff) -Removal of Powered Tonneau cover...

Looks like we got our answer, and it is as I assumed/expected:

Unfortunately, we may not know for the foreseeable future, as the regular side test grade was an IIHS verification of Rivian run test. Therefore, we get no real view of the airbag deployment for rear occupants. I am also concerned for the result of the updated moderate and site tests.

My guess, and I am no engineer, is that it likely has to do with the design of the side airbag. I remember seeing a video where they talked about how some airbag design doesn't come down far enough for smaller passengers. They stressed that a lot with the updated side andminor offset tests they...

I think he's referencing the total number of vehicles sold by Ford that can claim the EV credit under current law before the sunsetting. They've sold a ton of Mach-E.

Normally I word agree with most here as I bought a Pacifica Hubrid in December 2020 but dealer didn't deliver until a few days later on Jan 2nd. That messed up my tax credit (Colorado's tax credit was reduced in 2021 vs 2020) However this excerpt (from @Friscorays) in the transition period...

Spotted this on my way to run errands. Wish I could've stopped to say hi. But alas. Is this someone's from on here? I live only a few hundred feet from this location. Can I bribe you for a ride? XD

An entertaining look of our favorite EV Truck thing.

If you're feeling friendly, would love to be able to see your R1S after you have become acquainted. I'm just east by Scott AFB.

That's so weird. I actually live farther than you do. Down in the greater St Louis area.

I'm legit. A few weeks ago their site had a sign up to "learn more" that I submitted. I just so happen to live really close to their Normal, IL plant. Invitation didn't explicitly mention driving it..? When they first announced the R1T/R1S I wanted the R1S because I planned to have kids but...

Same time on 10/01! Are you a reservation holder? Never got anything regarding a test drive.
