    Poll- Dual vs Quad Motor Failure/Replacement.

    What we also don't know is the ratio of Quad vs Dual in # of unifs on the road. This could change the fail rate % significantly.

    MKBHD - Social Media Star Sells His Tesla Cybertruck Because He "Liked the Rivian Better"

    True for most people that have trucks but don't need trucks, but they can just choose the smaller pack options. For my purposes and that of many others that use the R1T for truck things I would like faster charging & more Kwh even if it was just 165kwh. No different than having an additional...

    Range extender for R1T in the future?

    I think most of us that need more would be content with an optional 180kwh pack with better thermals, much simpler.

    MKBHD - Social Media Star Sells His Tesla Cybertruck Because He "Liked the Rivian Better"

    While I agree for the most part, anyone looking at anything more than short distance towing should be giving the Silverado a good hard look. Better range towing (or not) & better charging speed. There is no shortage of application in the truck market. The CT also failed in this regard.

    Range extender for R1T in the future?

    Well to be fair even 360-540lbs is not very practical for in/out use for vast majority of people.

    Range extender for R1T in the future?

    There is zero chance the range extender would weigh anywhere near 2000lbs(equivalent to 165kwh) as that does not even leave enough payload for the driver. I would think 30-45kwh(360-540lbs) would be a more practical size to allow for some remaing payload. The spare tire or gear tunnel space in...

    3WT -1750 lbs 4WT- 1400 lbs RST - 1400 lbs The R1T with a 180kwh pack would be the same as the lower rated Silverado. Adding 2 modules would put it at the same carrying capacity of the larger pack Silverado. I understand this is not ideal for all circumstances but I know it woukd be helpfull for...

    Any one regretted the R1S based on size?

    Having had both I would much prefer the R1S vs the R1T for general driving as far as size. The T has a significantly larger turning radius. I just needed a truck however.

    I would suggest both, if Rivian is loosing sales to GM due to range offer another pack option. When I ordered in 2018 cost per kw was $211 now it is $115, cost to produce has gone way down. Yes it would have a reduced payload but no worse than the truck it is losing sales to. I believe the...

    I believe that Rivian could mostly solve this market loss with two more modules & better thermals,

    R2 and R3X are at new Boston Rivian Space

    I would bet that R3 outsells R2 two to three to one.

    Rivian Front Headlights

    I would tend to agree about the headlights but overall I think the front end is too large. The best part about the headlights is how effective they are.

    Traded Gen1 QM for Gen2 DM Perf… where’s the Perf?

    Nearly there by the other side of the intersection.

    Q3 2024 Production / Delivery Numbers… Not good

    Sometime in 2026 hopefully, they need to get their QC/service wait times fixed first. They can't afford to be near the bottom of service/QC reputation for another 2 years as the R2 will not solve that issue. *I have no complaints about the service center in Vancouver Estimated sometime 2026...

    R1T wish list for truck purposes.

    Agreed, that may have cost me a lot of money. Only the front brakes locked in park?

    $3,500 Loyalty Discount for Gen 1 Owners toward Gen 2 Large or Max Pack R1

    I just traded a 23 R1S with 27k miles for the identical 23 R1T. The R1S trade value was marginally higher than the voucher price on the T, no complaints here starting fresh with a new set of tires. Now it would likely be 50-60K to upgrade to a Tri-Max.

    New R1T, But Family is Too Tall/Large... R1S Any Better?
