Agreed. I have an R1S with the CCS port. On my road trips, I've DC fast charged without an adapter maybe once....meaning I'm almost always using chargers with NACS cables. This includes a visit to a RAN station where all the CCS stalls were taken and I used the adapter to use one of the NACS...

I'm 5'10" and found them to be comfortable. That said, when I tried a 0-60 run, I was thrown back into the seat and the part behind my shoulder blades "popped" back like a snapple lid. It felt weird and I was able to reproduce it after by forcing myself back into the seat. Made the seat feel...

I've never seen any of those items in my R1S

If it's any consolation, since it is a simulated horn, maybe they can change the sound over time or give us different horn options? I recall seeing a video with Gjeebs and Everday Chris where they described it as sounding like "an AI generated horn." Here is the video and the part where they...

I'd look up the OEM tire size for both 19" and 20" and then do a search on discount tire or tirerack to see what's available in those sizes. We know, from the previous debate, there are a number of 20" tires available. If the 19" availability is similar, I'd go with that and save the money. I...

Wow! I got totally tricked by your post title. I was expecting to learn about an R2 pickup truck. As far as what it's actually about -- good. I wouldn't want the vehicle with the paint so badly matched either. There's often some color variation between the plastic and metal bits but this...

I've also made that deal with myself - one black car was enough for a lifetime. They do, for the 5 minutes immediately after a cleaning, look good though.

Interesting. When I pointed it out to the Rivian rep, he seemed surprised. That's what made me think maybe it was a defective unit. If they're all like that, then that's a bit disappointing and the only thing that actually feels worse to me between the R2 and my R1S

I didn't notice a comfort difference between my R1S and the R2 I test drove. That said, when I stepped on the accelerator and was pushed back into the R2's seat, I felt a "pop" as the upper seatback deformed and then popped back into place like the lid on a snapple bottle. I'm still not sure...

Why is it "unfortunate"? Isn't the point of the subsidy to get new owners into a new EV rather than trying to make sure Tesla can't participate? Also, my understanding is that the state pays half of the $3,500 and the manufacturer eats the other half.

I've experienced that people drive much slower in the PNW. There are many stretches of roadway where the flow of traffic is 80+m/h. For example, the stretch of the 15 between LA and Las Vegas -- nobody goes less than 70m/h and the flow is usually 80+ Conversely, when driving up the 5 from LA...

To be fair, it looks like the poster who questioned the legality of 80mph is from Canada. The fastest speed limit in Canada is 120km/h which is about 75m/h.

OMG Yes! I only recently discovered that the fan speed was independent of "auto" and couldn't figure out why. Now I'm stuck in a loop of setting it to "high" when I leave work because it's the only way the vehicle approaches being a comfortable temperature on my drive home and having to switch...

I've seen it -- I'm starving for production R2 videos though. Unlike many on this forum, I wish more youtubers had access to these vehicles so I could watch more videos while I wait for my Aug-Sept order to come up.

The new Model Y L might be worth looking into if you liked the Model Y but felt it to be cramped.

I guess this means there will be a Doug Demuro video on the R2 soon!

Nobody has a crystal ball they can consult for OP? They said R1 owners would be prioritized for R2 but that doesn't seem to be true -- so I wouldn't worry about it.

If it was me, I'd go with the Tesla Universal one or the Grizzl-E. I've been using a Tesla V2 wall connector (quite old) for 6+ years and I have the V3 wall connector in another property we have -- both are great and both bought before the universal model came out. I'd definitely go with one...

Demo vehicles usually have somewhere between 2,000-5,000 miles. The R2 I drove yesterday had 1,900 miles -- so I'd imagine they'll start showing up relatively soon.

I second the notion that I didn't notice it to be any "cheaper" than my R1S. In fact, I came away thinking it was just as nice or better than my R1S. It was certainly quieter, smoother and better put together. The AC and cooled seats also worked much better than mine.
