    As a pre-order holder, do you pick the R1S Dual Motor for $59,920 - $7,500 rebate = $52,420 or wait for the R2?

    I would take that deal - it almost makes we wish I had held out. We've hugely enjoyed our R1S for more than a year but it certainly had some teething issues. I don't need QM and could probably deal with the lower range for that kind of savings. But remembering back to all the anxiety about...

    Unofficial A2Z DCFC NACS to CCS 500A / 1000v adapter YouTube review.

    Just ordered - both the site and confirmation email state "Orders take around 15 to 20 business days to ship as we have an important volume of orders". So prolly at least a month now.

    "Reduce your speed to change drive mode"

    I noticed something today - and a Google search reveals it's never been mentioned. While driving across the Cascades in All Purpose mode I noticed that on the vehicle screen (which I was looking at to see altimeter and motor temps) the message "Reduce your speed to change drive mode" appears...

    What auto manufacturers "report"

    I think many of us saw the article fly by about a Chevy Bolt driver had his insurance double because GM OnStar shares acceleration and braking data. This article came across my view again and I noticed a link to a free https://vehicleprivacyreport.com/. Rivian is so clean they think the company...

    Really need Rivian Service to come through for me… “Service Suspension” error code

    I have personally had R1S loaners twice for multiple week periods. I could have had one for another shorter period of a couple of days but we have 2 other cars and didn't need to go anywhere.

    R3 looks like the perfect car for me

    You are fighting a rising tide there - but we might have reached the peak. I read an analysis this week of why our cars are so large - there are many factors but one of them is that congress exempted "light trucks" from the CAFE standards. Many (most?) SUVs are "light trucks". And that is...

    Really need Rivian Service to come through for me… “Service Suspension” error code

    The phone guys have no pull - you _might_ get your contact at your local SC to do something. They're also the ones who coordinate loaners. Cross your fingers

    What will Tesla's response to the R3X look like?

    I don't know about _only_ because of Rivian and even 3 years later I think that "formidable opponent" is a bit of a stretch. Ford sells a lot of F150s - I suspect Musk was looking at the overall truck market and wanted a piece of it. Swing and a miss IMHO. They don't need another weirdo vehicle...

    Quad Motor Departure

    And don't forget the Launch Edition comes "Complete with special interior badging" -ironically that's one I CAN see from inside the vehicle (where I spend the majority of my time when driving, YMMV).

    I'll say it... Driver+ getting worse, not better

    I don't use D+ (or adaptive cruise control) very much but I feel that - over time - it has gotten better. That said, coming over Snoqualmie Pass yesterday there was snow/slush and I got a brief warning for radar sensors that showed locations to be cleaned - then it disappeared. I _think_ there...

    Priority R2 delivery for R1 owners announced!

    Haven't seen this yet, but guessing it's another compact spare. Which is probably fine for R2 - but not really a good story for the R1S that is supposed to be more serious off-roader. In fact, that's one of the reasons I kept my GX470. I might eventually get a hitch mount spare holder but...I...

    Tesla engineer urges Rivian to move charge port location on R2, R3, R3X for Supercharger access

    Not just a Tesla employee, the freaking lead CyberTruck engineer - because he is SO focused on usability. <eyeroll>

    R1S Rear, Driver-Side Door Very Difficult to Close

    @HarCo S is clearly more "hands on" than most on this forum, including myself. I've had this issue since delivery and at my first visit a technician _opened_ the door and looked at how it moved - he said "door drop". It's hard to see the misalignment on close - much easier on open. That said...
