There's zero incentive for the automaker to do this.

This question specifically comes up in the carmudgeon podcast. The two Rivian designers say that the range difference between 21s and 20s is almost entirely based on the tires Rivian provides with each. The one engineer says the 21" rims might be ever so slightly more aero efficient but it's...

This is a very dishonest or ill-informed post. Inflation between 2019 and cybertruck launch (11/30/23) was 18.7% -- What do you mean by $1.34? Additionally, the $120k trucks were the first ones sold -- the most expensive, tri motor, models. The entry level cybertruck is $70,000. The most...

I wish. As soon as the temps hit 95+ for me, it struggles to keep up and/or takes a good 20 minutes until it's comfortable inside and never, in my experience, approaches "cold" inside thereafter. Judging by your screenshot, it's only 77 outside where you are -- perhaps that's the difference.

This might be an unpopular opinion: I think the Lidar cutout at the top of the windshield looks ugly.

You think $60k is a lot of coverage? Good luck if you cause anything other than the most minor of fender benders. I think you'll find $60,000 doesn't go very far toward paying the injured party's medical bills, lost earnings etc. Not to mention you're limiting YOURSELF to that amount if...

Yeah, not to mention uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage. Very short-sighted to save a couple bucks and then realize what you've done when you get seriously injured by someone with (a) no insurance or (b) state minimum ($30k where I live).

Give it time. My R1S has a number of rattles.

I understand that reasoning but it's kind of messed up to put someone who reserved on day one behind people who reserved more recently -- what is the point of the reservation process if it doesn't give someone priority?

Ordered within the first hour, have an R1S and live within 10 miles of a service center.

But on the Rivian you'd only be able to do that for the first 5-10 minutes after you plug in because, after that, they turn off.

I have the charging light bar on my Gen 2 R1S. It's a novelty that wears off immediately. It only shows for a few minutes and then turns off. You aren't missing anything

Understood but if there's negative equity I'll have the option to make all payments

Needing sound is the same as people who need to feel a book in their hands and won't use an e-reader. It's a lot of inconvenience for a mediocre experience.

I'd give anything to get rid of the rattle sound that comes from my front passenger seat.

I feel like black is the least-seen R1 color (at least around where I live). I've only ever seen one or two of them and it is, by far, my least favorite color on R1. As far as silver goes, it looks great. I remember being told in the 80s to avoid getting silver though as it was very hard to...

Those look identical to the Rivian ones I have in my R1S. I got them "free" with referral money. They're ok. If it was my own money I'd have been less happy. They're more or less just rubber mats and the sides don't come up very high. They're easy to clean and obviously they fit very well...

Hypothetically, if I was in a situation where the difference between the trade-in offer and residual was more than my remaining payments, couldn't I make a lump sum equal to the remaining payments and walk away?

Funny you mention that. My initial thought was that it looks like plastic that's come in contact with deet

I had the same reaction. Any doubt I had over whether to get the 20" wheels was erased. The 21" look comically large and it makes the brakes look tiny. No thank you.
