I, a R1S preorder (originally wanted the R1T but the bed was too small for me), would buy it again at the price I paid for the quad. Love the performance and relative comfort and features. Also, it was one of the two vehicles that could fit my frame (6'9" and well over 300lbs, though the door...
If the VW dealers don't keep them from coming to market. And if they incorporate Android Auto (supposedly using Rivian's software stack and hardware...).
And if it fits my 6'9" frame (and almost as wide...ha!)
I originally reserved the R1T but changed to the R1S once I saw the bed size proportions. Thought the whole truck was bigger. We love our R1S but my next truck will likely be a full sized GMC Sierra EV or Ram REV (if they get it right). Good sized bed, good sized cab.
Yes, give me a longer overall truck with a 6ft bed and the cab of the R1s. Maybe they can base it off the RDV platform, add a rear motor and the max pack battery. With a short hood and a longer bed, the truck may not be that much longer than the R1T. With it being based on the RDV, they can drop...
Good advice!
I have to check for electrical because it's on the side where I have the garage door panel and I had a 120v outlet installed on that wall when I had the EVSE/charger installed.
I'm hoping my stud detector can help me pinpoint any wires.
I am thinking of doing this to the front of my garage, but use a lockable square door to help mitigate nefarious behavior. I have stucco though. Doing the research and glad to stumble upon your post!
Yeah, I just got this issue this morning. Original windshield. It worked two days ago and this morning, it didnt turn on like it used to once it started raining. Did my first soft reset and it didnt fix it. Worked fine for 16k miles. Guess I will put a ticket in.
Whoa!
Yeah you just blew my mind. Look at that detail!
Just let us know when you want the money. I'm super hyped now!
BTW, I pray that your water/plumbing situation gets resolved.
The air suspension was a joke. But it isnt unreal for doors to open and close and the wheels to steer. Many 1:43 models do this at competitive prices. WIth the care taken to spec out the wheels and interiors, I dont think anyone believes this is a sub $100 model.
@Therivianguy
This is great! I would love an Limestone R1S with Ocean Coast interior sitting on 21" wheels.
Does any of the doors open? Steering wheel turns the wheels? Dare I dream of active air suspension?
Yes. You have to select Bluetooth audio on the Rivian but it works great. Unfortunately, if you are listening to the radio, the sound can play either through the unit or through your phone.
This is what I use to get over this issue (plus other benefits). Responding to texts is optional for me but having them read aloud to triage what's important enough is something I've grown used to. Link below...
I was searching to see if it automatically resumes to the previous driving height once you put it in gear. Sounds like it doesnt (it adjusts only when going a certain speed).
This needs improvement since when you put it in gear and exit a driveway (which is normally at a lower speed), it...
