I love local radio and radio in other markets I follow. In 5 years of combined ownership the only time I have used radio is after the software updates Wipeout my connections to apps and have already started driving. When Im out adventuring I just listen to music that is on my phone as I dont...

99% wont notice. Where is my cd player argument when R1's were coming out lol. And yes im old.

I haven't and can check but I think it's more of the ridge that creates the wind buffeting. I dont hear wind hiss through it, just the boomy sound and with windows down is unbearable.

R1's issue is the triangle window on front doors and the design causes a lot of wind buffeting (sp?) I can't drive with the windows down as I like to as just too much turbulence and unpleasant on ears. Only real dislike on my R1's

No, I have over 50k between my 2 with 1 service visit in 5 total years, fixed same day.

That's a great thing. Bring back the 70s and color instead of all this grayscale crap.

Buy a vehicle for what it has at time of purchase. If it gets better like Rivians and Tesla do, great. If it doesn't, don't act surprised or disappointed.

Great solution for the pricing / market R2 is in. Still will use way more than other Frunk solutions. However, likely not as much as R1's. I use them almost all trips in buth truck and suv. Perfect space for almost everything. Having 2 golf bags up front is a game changer.

Overall if Rivian was a mature company with + cash flow, they would have an SXL based on R1T chasis. They are not and most people prefer smaller so thats what we got.

I have been converted to the touchscreen controls for vents with the 2 settings. 2 easy touch and air is on me for hot days or in surround for mild days. Had to fiddle with my manual vent car and couldn't get it just right lol.

I like driving performance over a stupid screen any day. Should we have choice, maybe if it doesn't slow down the head unit. All my cars with carplay/auto have terrible responsiveness. Not one passenger has ever complained about functionality. My only gripe was voice text which has now...

I have a feeling the $4k I paid for each of my R1's ext wty will be a great investment. I'm keeping them for the long term as meet all of my needs in a vehicle. Hell, my mom got over $10k out of hers on a Ford Escape (engine and transmission), her ext wty was only $2.2k so hard to get that...

Long live Compass and Canyon

I love EV's, as I have 5 for the family but I love all the ICE stuff as well that many EV folks don't. Just like driving with crazy acceleration, amazing tech, free due to solar and the less maintenance. So besides a Bronco and Supercharged SS Ive fully switched. However, I admit that Im sort...

Wow, lots of new to Rivian folks in this thread, which is great to see. Once they killed Compass Yellow and Canyon Red the color selection has been poor. Also, paint has always been expensive.
