The gen 1 quad is more than 77k. A lot more, unless we are talking used.

And the Rivian has the benefit of not looking like a door stop POS.

Dunno, never had it up to 100 yet.

That was probably a good choice. The gen 2 is better, but not worth breaking a budget over.

In my experience dealers are the ones who have the strongest incentive to screw you over.

I've had more issues with my wife's BMW using Google maps taking me to the wrong location than the native Rivian app. I don't think I've ever had Rivian take me to the wrong place in the over 2 years I've used it.

Too early to say for sure. In conserve on the freeway I was getting a little better than my old quad. I'm also not the best person to ask for daily driving because I use all 850HP on a fairly regular basis.

If the compressor is running way too much and there is porpoising perhaps there’s a leak in your air suspension or a seal that’s contracting enough that it leaks in the cold.

That's fair; the gen 2 is better than Gen 1 in ADAS, so I understand what you're saying. I didn't think it mattered much until I drove my new Gen 2 back from Nashville and used the auto lane change. I believe their lane centering on Gen 2 is good enough; the auto lane change works well, too...

I think you answer your own question.

That sound is the air compressor. It’s loud because of the temperature most likely. Air suspension and cold weather together mean that compressor will be filling more than normal. The efficiency reduction in cold weather is common for all EVs, nothing new there. The motor running you’re hearing...

You aren't saving much money with a tri over a new quad. My tri was 112K, and you can get a quad starting at 120. 8k makes little difference when you're already in the 6 figures.

Gen 2's dont start at 112, that's the Ascend trim level. It's meant to be a premium trim, not the baseline. I agree it's pricey and nothing on there is essential. Then again 77K is well above what you'd need to spend to get something just for transportation.

Steer by wire could be better, there's no feedback and a car that prides itself on driving dynamics would be made worse by it. Rear-wheel steering has been around for at least 20 years, so hardly innovative. 800V architecture isn't all that helpful with the current state of charging. It...

Not at all. I don't see Rivian as behind in technology. I don't think anyone is doing that great on ADAS, it's not ready for the road period. The rest of the "innovations" you're talking about are mostly party tricks. There is no other manufacturer with the same size vehicle doing everything...

The newspaper thing is a good idea.

1.1 mi/kWh is my guess. Let's all take guesses on his efficiency with those tires.

That's a good letter, I'd consider making it shorter though if you want it to be read.

My gen 1 quad has been traded in for a gen 2 tri motor Ascend. I have driven it a bit now, enough to put some thoughts together on the differences and whether or not I feel the upgrade is worth it for existing owners. Interior quality The interior has received some minor changes for the...

It looks like it's calibrated for freedom units.
