I figured this was going to be the case with the R2. No way was it going to come close to 3.7 mi/kwh on the highway. My R1, on the other hand, gets pretty close to EPA range at speeds of 60-75 mph (even better in conserve), so I'll take it.
You're definitely like me - I do the same thing. I find the R1S can be noisy and take a while to cool down (especially in the potent CO sun), but once it does, it maintains a temp well.
My only complaint about the R1 is the lack of overhead second row vents. I have a dog hammock in there, which...
I got the email, it said 4-8 weeks to place an order and delivery several weeks after that. I was a day 1 reservation and obviously have an R1. I don't plan on converting my order anymore but have held onto it just in case.
Not the best campsite in the world last weekend, but it worked in a pinch. Self leveling makes it so much less stressful to find a place to spend the night
I may be in the minority, but I much prefer the charge port in the front. I like pulling into fast chargers and I don't use Tesla chargers more than a few times a year. Backing into busy and tight charging stations can be a big PITA.
The range may be (slightly) less, but it's much more efficient. Cheaper and faster to charge.
I can't comment on software because I haven't test driven one
I don't think it's unreasonable to expect Rivian to replace that in such a new car, but tbh wear like that does happen over time with a lot of vehicles. UV and hand oils can be so corrosive. That said, this is why I use detailer spray on my cars about once a week, lol
Me. I'm a Day 1 reservation and own an R1. I don't plan on converting to an order now that I have an R1, but kept the reservation just in case something happened to our R1 in the meantime.
