Hi, all.
I currently lease (10 months in) a 2024 R1S. I love the car l. Absolutely no complaints. Only thing, I had picked it off the shop and it wasnāt the color of my choice.
my current: ā24 DM, Standard+, 21ā wheels, FG interior
I recently spotted a similar config but DM Performance...
If you have neither and in need of one soon, which one would you prefer? I have the Typhoon Pro (new version) which is brand new and just received the Rivian complimentary one. Since I donāt need both, Iām considering selling one via this forum and wondering which would have better āvalueā for...
Just sharing some info. Not really something Iām looking to do or have looked at comparisons - was just happy to be able to do it online with 2 clicks and no talking to people.
I lease a 2024 R1S. Monthly payment is $940. Vehicle agreed upon price on lease was $81750 plus fees. Iām 7 months...
My usual electric usage was almost tripled in my most recent bill ~3000 kWh. in the same period, I've charged around 500kWh
I have not added anything new that could increase usage so much - sure it was hot several days but no way my AC ate this much.
This isnāt my first bill since the charger...
ā¦from a runaway cart!!
The dent itself isnāt too bad but miffed at cart management and people attitudes to carts in general.
I had just rolled into my bay, was finishing a phone call so hadnāt āparkedā yet. Heard a bump from behind and took me a second or two to think to hit the incident...
ā¦try the next stall.
This morning, went to the local Tesla DCFC charger to test out my brand new A2Z adapter ahead of a weekend road trip.
Unfortunately, I couldnāt take any pictures but Iād heard the adapter can be hard to unlock once used but mine wouldnāt lock (the one underneath) properly...
Not to digress too much but I originally came here to post my efficiency findings on hot days - the steep drops are when I roll up windows and rely on the AC (hit a major road). And I am not even the type that blasts AC at 66Ā°F. Iām happy at 72-73Ā°.
Pictures are taken on different days and...
Agreed upon value of vehicles includes actual costs per configurator/shop+destination fee of $1800. Shop car I picked had $3500 22" dark wheels which I asked to switch to regular 21s and they obliged and adjusted price. Color and interior upgrades were not free (I checked twice; although this...
Has anyone installed a Tesla Universal Charger at home, including adding required circuitry in New Jersey? Or some other Rivian compatible charger perhaps. (I'm considering the Tesla Universal Charger for a few different reasons, including being future proof). I'm in Middlesex county.

Hello, Northeast and specifically, NJ!
Iām begun my purchasing process and was doing some due diligence wrt registration and it looks like I can get a "1" sticker for my current car's license plate and get the same plate with "2" at the end for my new car (in this case, R1S). But I couldn't...
I picked something from the shop and got a VIN assigned and a guide. First email from her says the following which Iāve asked for clarification but didnāt get any response since Friday afternoon; thought Iād ask here.
āWeāll need all the steps completed no later than 3 PM, three business days...
A few assorted questions about ownership/purchase:
Are changes allowed to the vehicle before taking delivery- like different wheels, adding PPF etc
A friend mentioned if (in my state of NJ) I get a second car, I can get a sequential license plate for it - sequential to my current car without...
Iām considering getting a level 2 charger installed at home. Now that NACS is real and probably be the standard for future EVs I might buy, should I just go for a Tesla charger? Sure, Iāll need an adapter at home but trying to be future proof as well. Appreciate your thoughts!
To everyone who had crazy delays at a body shop getting something fixedā¦
not to be rude, but did you just not have Rivian insurance? Iām preparing to purchase and came across the below
that by itself sounds like a no-brainer unless rates are way off. Or is it just marketing hype?
Hello, everyone! After threatening to āpull the triggerā on my reservation and multiple questions on the forum, I finally found my number 2 choice in Glacier+Forest Edge (Double Forest being first), on the Shop earlier this week. The week has been busy so still pending tasks on my end. Besides...

Especially in the R1S shop, I see there are additional incentives for leasing a Quad motor vs a Dual Motor. Has anyone noticed this or know what it could be? Just a higher residual?
After a recent test drive/meet your Rivian event, I was reached out to by a āsalespersonā. I havenāt made a decision yet but asked about pricing options etc.
I also specifically asked about buying a ādemoā vehicle and this was the response:
To take it with a pinch of salt, this is the same...
....but [perhaps] not the car I need ?
To clarify, I have no doubts about the vehicle itself. The company and RJ have been increasingly more convincing in recent times. All issues, complains of SC experiences aside, I'd be ready for this car. And I do need a second car soon enough. BUT, I...
