Really depends. I’m pre March 22 pricing and applied for transition rule on the vehicle so got my $7500 tax credit. Given current trade in values for an r1s for a quad motor I think there is a way I can trade in the vehicle without feeling like I took a bath on it. However, a tri motor at...

One last comment. My configuration is with 22” wheel. Duing the one service trip to Brooklyn, I was given an R1S with the 20” all-terrain tires. I do think they look cool and assume they are better traction during the winter. But besides some range loss, my larger issue was the tire noise it...

So my IX has the castanea interior which I love but is already showing some dye transfer from my jeans despite ceramic coating on interior. I do like the ambient lighting of the IX and the camera is a higher resolution. Sound quality of the HK speakers surprisingly better than the x5 and...

Didn’t realize this thread is still active. As the OP here is an update at 3k miles on R1S: 1) Noises - I’ve gotten used to wind noise. It’s really fairly quiet on my vehicle at 75mph and under. At 80 it is quite noticeable vs my IX and x5 but have come to accept it. The internal noises for...

Hi all, Picked up my R1S about three weeks ago and have four hundred miles in it. I opened my trunk today and noticed this on the rail in the trunk. Was pretty much dry. To me it looks like water and rust? I was able with cleaner to get most of it off but will need a brush to get the hex screw...

Haven’t gotten vehicle back yet but dropped of R1S at detailer last week in Northern NJ and it was also $6500. When I did BMW IX a year ago it was $7000 but also ceramic coated interior leather. About 8 months before that had PPF applied to front of Tesla MYP through the A pillar and window...

So even though I posted this thread, I actually agree with you (and think I’ve said it elsewhere on this thread). Part of the reason this was purchased was to have a vehicle where I don’t need to be precious with how we treat the vehicle as compared to my other vehicles that have upgraded...

That’s good to hear. I see in your NJ and I absolutely dread the idea of having to take the R1S to Brooklyn from Northern NJ just from a traffic perspective. Do they always give a loaner at that center? Or will they sometimes give Uber credits like Tesla (was not a fan of that). I picked up...

I wish I took a better photo of it before handing it off to detailer. This was at delivery pickup center (guide is in reflection). It is passenger door close to the window. Look at the reflection of the lights in the photo. You can see a vertical 1 inch indent in the clearcoat. The only way...

I think there was a poll on the forums here looking at the average income of R1 owners/reserveration holders here. While I’m sure there can be income inflation or just making up numbers, if I recall, 30% of the poll was making over $300k. That compares to perhaps ~3% of the country that makes...

I was just simply giving a comparison. I did not expect it to be a luxury vehicle and actual said it’s on par with some of the vinyl options from the European guys. I also said it was better than Tesla and IMO that probably includes the S/X models. As I said in some other replies, I think...

So out of curiosity for those that took delivery this year but signed the transition rule IRA contract for the $7500…do I have to go back and try to amend my 2022 return as it was a delayed vehicle delivery that was supposed to take place in 2022 or am I supposed to file it on my 2023 income...

For normal merging on a highway, the R1S acceleration was perfectly fine. Maybe it’s the tires? Maybe it’s 4 separate motors all trying to fight for traction at the same time? Haven’t launched in a Model X Plaid but have sat in a Model S and didn’t experience the same issue.

So I’ve experienced the 0-60 launch 3x. Twice today and once in January 2022 in a neighbor’s R1S (He was within the first 1000 shipped). IN all those instances, it felt like the R1S was a bit squirrelly as the best way to describe it. Perhaps it was the tire temperatures and outside temps but...

Posting day 1 impressions of Rivian R1S. Own an IX50 and X5 m50i. Previously owned a 2021 Tesla Model Y performance. Smooth delivery but had a paint defect. Never ordered a vehicle before from BMW, Mercedes, Lexus that would have passed QC with this defect. My specific Model Y Performance...

So when I call the electrician, the load sharing is off the same 60amp circuit when connecting 2nd tesla charger or a separate line from subpanel with its own breaker? Thanks so much for the help.

Hi all, Will be picking up my R1S in a few days. Currently also own a BMW IX that I charge in my garage with a Tesla Wall Connector with an adaptor. The Tesla charger is connected with a 60 amp breaker for 48 amp charging and we installed a sub panel in the garage for future proofing if we...

Hold the phone here. I am scheduled to pick up my Rivian R1S from Brookly on Dec 27th. I was not given Mahwah as an option and I live like 5 minutes away from Mahwah. When I was trying to setup delivery, it said my house was not available for delivery at all and had to use my work address to...
