  1. Still enjoying our Rivian after 3+ years

    Same for my 2023 Quad R1T with 66k miles. I’m even likely going to skip my upcoming R2 order window and just keep what I have. …
  2. R2 lift kit (aftermarket) by EVSportline

    That is a common misconception. Federal law says that modifications do not cause a general voiding of the vehicle warranty. The only place one would run into a problem is if you attempt to make a warranty claim on something that they (any manufacturer) can show was directly related to the...
  3. Visual: why R1 cross bars don’t work on R2

    The reason they don't fit is simple - "planned obsolescence", right out of the Apple playbook....
  4. Parking the R2 in the garage

    It will take you all of 10 minutes to master 1 pedal driving. You'll likely be able to let it stop itself without a problem (try the 3 different levels of regen braking that are available to see which suits you). That said, the brake pedal works the same as it does in every other vehicle...
  5. Poll: Should Rivian Consider a 3-row R2 model?

    No. The 7 passenger version is the R1S
  6. Issues connecting to superchargers today

    You should generally be initiating the charging sessions via the Tesla app anyway. The $12.99/mo membership pays for itself if you supercharge 2x in a month. You can also stop/start the membership as you like.....but you will generally end up saving $$
  7. R2 lift kit (aftermarket) by EVSportline

    Federal law does not allow a warranty to be generally denied due to aftermarket parts. "They" would have to be able to show that whatever problem one is making a warranty claim for was directly caused by the specific modification(s).
  8. Update on R2 order invitation timing now in account

    It's funny.....the update is not reflected in my account, but I did receive both an email and a text message that I can expect my order window to open in ~4 weeks. That said, I love my Gen1 Quad R1T and likely won't move on an R2 unless/until a tri-motor variant is introduced.
  9. Not possible to turn off 1 pedal driving?

    Because it's a prime "feature" of most EVs and relates to their claimed efficiency. At least with R1 there are 3 different settings for Regen....I'm assuming it's the same for R2 - but you still can't shut it off entirely.
  10. Who HASN'T been invited to order with an early reservation?

    Day 1, early in the day reservation, current R1T owner, live within 30 minutes of 2 different service centers....and only good/friendly interactions at the 1 SC I've been to....and no email invite. That said, my Quad R1T is easily the best vehicle I've owned and I likely won't part with it...
  11. R2 teething/early issues -- new owner needs flatbed 4 hours after delivery

    THANK YOU EARLY ADOPTER TEST PILOTS! I'm either skipping R2 entirely or waiting until there is an "X" model (or 3 motor variant).....by then, many of the early bugs (that are generally reasonably expected in a brand new vehicle model (and particularly from a newer manufacturer) should be worked...
  12. 500-800 miles from Service Center......from those with Rivian experience....how risky will this be?

    They are not sending mobile service 500+ miles for any issues.....
  13. Market Reality Check: When do Gen 2 Quads drop to double digits?

    That would price them right out of business or to the point there is such a lack of interest that they are discontinued like the Telsa X and S
  14. Compared to the R2, what makes the Scout a compelling alternative?

    It's not IMO. It looks good and has the option of adding a gasoline engine to extend range to ~500 miles.....but it's also delayed for several years and only imaginary at this point. Also, VW doesn't exactly have a great history of reliability.....(or other "history" for that matter)...
  15. Looking for a reso holder that canceled due to price

    What reliability issues? There are zero reports off “issues” since deliveries started just a few days ago….you cancelled because of your perception….not reality
  16. Finance vs. Lease the R2 -- the math

    Depreciation is typically a percentage rather than a specific dollar figure. R1s having more room to drop in value seems like a silly argument
  17. Finance vs. Lease the R2 -- the math

    Until you get to the end of 36 mos and shop trade in offers the “estimated equity” on the finance side is just made up (barely better than a guess), which heavily tilts the “analysis” one way.
  18. Self drive and current R2

    Don't spread fake information.....either do some research or don't answer....but your statement is false
  19. R2 order emails now going out

    I hope mine doesn't come up. Early day 1 reservation, near 2 service centers and R1 owner. The issue is that I love my Quad R1T enough that the "launch package" is unpersuasive and I'm waiting on a 3 motor variant .....or keeping my R1T to add an R3X at some point later...
  20. Finance vs. Lease the R2 -- the math

    Your numbers are off. At least according to the Rivian website, if you configure to a price of $60,990, then the lease is estimated at $877/months with $5772 due at signing (taxes being variable by state).
