  3. Second Launch Mode Use in Gen 1 R1S Caused Turtle Mode, No Front Power/Regen

    I had the same thing happen early with my 23 S. Was a quick fix and never happened again. Two year later Rivian swapped both front half shafts for "play". Again an easy fix. Hope you are sorted as well.

  7. Value proposition question - at what distance do you consider your ICE over EV?

    For me its about the location. Urban (Manhattan) where charging, cost of parking a truck and risk of damage/vandalism is higher we take our older/smaller highlander hybrid. For all else its the "S".
  8. EV Brands-Cost of Ownership

    My cost of service has only been tire rotations. I just wanted to point out that out there is a time cost as well. Charging at home and never needing a gas station is a huge time savings ….. a time is money!!
