Very nice review & heads up to anyone... Conserve mode is only for emergencies when your running low on battery & need a few extra miles to get to a charger, per Rivian Delivery video at 53:39 time stamp (it only deliveries power to front wheels & eats tires if used regularly & yes you could use...
Congrats to all getting their R1S from today's batch. I'm on Chat to try for third time to get R1Shop Access & I'm currently #49th in que, 1 hour wait... :cool:

This was long over due. Glad Rivian listened to us & provided this feature. I've been using Dash Cameras in my vehicles for over 7 years & have been able to provide "on-the-spot" video proof to Troopers/Police and the other driver got the tickets & insurance repair bill in 5 or 6 different...
