Smart move for Rivian is to run the entire list of people who want Launch Editions and pump out as many as they can because until a Trimotor is available, this is the most expensive (read highest margin) trim and maximizing units of this trim level accelerates fixed cost recovery which in turn...

I've got mah radio, I don't need to waste time with the "talkies"

Truth. You can really use any interior cleaner. I bet distilled water and a microfiber cloth will get the job done just as well. That's why I mention in the video I'm somewhat indifferent to the various interior cleaning products on offer and tend to buy reasonable brand names that are on...

Most fake leathers are petroleum products, polyurethane or polyvinyl chloride (PVC).

BINGO! Black just hides dirt, but that means you're sitting in it and touching it all the time. No right answers here, some people prefer less glare and in that case dark interiors meet the purpose better but I prefer seeing the dirt as it's a provocation to clean things up.

the video answers the OP’s question. Maybe you should try watching it? :cool:

I have Ocean Coast in my 2025 R1S. Here it is after 15 months with three kids and two dogs.

went for a different purpose, they are not like to like. For point to point, I’ve got over 1,000 miles on FSD on my Cybertruck since 14.2 and it works very, very well. Not sure I believe Rivian will get to point to point on vehicles without LiDAR so went for something with better feel and...

hate to break it to you, but new information always comes out between the reveal and production for every manufacturer. And consumers use that new information to make purchase decisions. No one is required to hold onto a three year old mindset, it’s illogical.

they should only be so lucky. they are likely to make new, and more, mistakes like they do with their audio systems, suspensions and app/server connections. But that’s not surprising, Rivian is subscale. Same reason they can’t start to solve self-driving for many more years. I don’t blame...

Not everyone needs or wants a Rivian. Get an Audi etron or Macan EV. The Germans also don’t like one pedal driving. Find the vehicle that suits you best.

Life is short. I've got two years left with it and have other cars to drive. Could end up being our first and last Rivian. I vote with my dollars.

It's from Normal. And they claim it is normal.

Rivian should be more concerned with efficiency. My 2025 R1S is averaging less than 1.6 mi/kwh on 22" street tires (OEM) in 16 months on the road. It has the 109 kwh "large" pack so has an effective range of 150 miles full to near dead. Yes, my tires are properly inflated. Yes, it has been...

Inflation is still ripping, if anyone thinks that's not a thing - or that manufacturers who are losing money will introduce their least profitable trims first - they're drinking something I'd like to have. Maybe that's what you're cooking up? Special potions? PS when I learned R2 wouldn't...

I've looked to find a slot a few times at Woodbridge with nothing available 2025 R1S owner and early reservation holder. No luck.

I have a 2023 Defender. It's now parked as I don't want the DC to DC converter to fail and cripple the vehicle while driving. Recall letters should start flying today. No fix as of yet, at least it's still under warranty. That noted, the Defender has been rock solid for 3 1/2 years - now it...

I"d get an electrician to take a look at the wiring leading to the outlet and also replace that outlet with a GFCI and weatherproof cover. Even so, I wouldn't recommend pulling more than 10-12 amps continuous and if you're there for a while it never hurts to turn it off for an hour in the...

That's quite fair. But many of the Rivian announcements are for PR value with little substance - how many autonomous vehicles is Rivian delivering to Uber this quarter? Next quarter? No question VWAG needs software help, and they have a desperation deal in place with Rivian. Clever...

I'd expect R3 to be offset from a mid-lifecycle refresh of R2. If R2 is a 2027 model that implies a late 2028/early 2029 launch date for R3 before the R2 refresh around 2030. As for an R4, who knows? Rivian needs to get profitable with R2 or R3/R4 never happen and Rivian ends up like Fisker.
