  1. R1S big butt - is it an issue for owners

    I've had mine for about 2 months. I love the square back and the rear styling of R1S is the reason I picked it back in 2019 and there is still no other option (electric or ICE) that I prefer in the price point. For more money I do like the new range rover.... Our other car is a Yukon and behind...
  2. Doug Demuro Review: The Rivian R1S Is the Most Amazing Electric SUV Yet [Earns Highest Doug Score Ever!]

    This strap system is the same as a Tahoe. If you have young kids this makes a big difference. Most small people who can fit comfortably in the 3rd row would struggle to unfold the seats themselves. Being able to do it from the trunk rather than have to climb in the car is very useful IMO.
  3. Doug Demuro Review: The Rivian R1S Is the Most Amazing Electric SUV Yet [Earns Highest Doug Score Ever!]

    As an owner of an R1S he is spot on about the 3rd row being a pain to unfold. Not sure how they messed that up!!!! Just take 2 seconds with a tahoe and see how they have a strap that activates the latch to pull up the 3rd row. It doesnā€™t necessarily even need to be a power 3rd rowā€¦.
  4. Launch Green R1S VIN #000569 delivered!

    Yeah, hard to imagine taking it down that line with trained employees and all that specialty lighting and not noticing these things... I do think that the overall quality is very good and it is a shame to have the perception go down due to loose trim and the like. Making vehicles is hard and...
  5. Launch Green R1S VIN #000569 delivered!

    Looking at it in person it seems the worst case would be the need to drill a new hole for the mounting hinge. It is the right shape it just isnā€™t mounted far enough forward. The gap at the top is also too large. It isnā€™t like the top is right and the lower part is sticking out which would...
  6. XPEL Rivian Factory PPF Q&A -- by XPEL

    @Tim@XPEL any update on the program for R1S? I got a quote from a reputable local dealer and it was $7,500. I wish there was a corporate xpel near me. I think the high dealer pricing is just par for the course in the current ā€œpeople will pay any priceā€ inflation economy. As interest rates...
  7. Launch Green R1S VIN #000569 delivered!

    On the hood I think you are correct. But all the trim and the rear hatch I think were clearly QC oversights (or intentional ignore). Also, the tortion bar in the tailgate really should have been caught. It really slams down without it and someone should have caught that. If I can fix it in my...
  8. Launch Green R1S VIN #000569 delivered!

    I do think it is floatingā€¦ there is a clip behind the front of mine that is clearly loose. I think it should be an easy fix once they have the parts.
  9. Launch Green R1S VIN #000569 delivered!

    Donā€™t get me wrong I am super happy to have it. But, I have considered putting up for sale and ordering another one that would likely have at least a few kinks worked out. But it is super cool driving something where most people say ā€œwhat is that?ā€. A lot of people think it is a Range Rover. I...
  10. Launch Green R1S VIN #000569 delivered!

    Already in and scheduled. I am hoping they donā€™t have to replace or repaint the hood. The paintwork seemed great.
  11. Any R1S pre-orders hear from guides recently?

    I 100% agree it looks green and also thought it would not. I love it since I have LG exterior and I think it looks great. But with other exterior colors I would prefer it to be all black.
  12. Any R1S pre-orders hear from guides recently?

    I got an email and was able to schedule delivery on the website. Then I got a few confirmation texts leading up to delivery and on the day of delivery the delivery specialist called me.
  13. Launch Green R1S VIN #000569 delivered!

    I took delivery a little over a week ago of my Launch Green, Black Mountain, 20ā€ AT, underbody shield R1S. I was a November 2019 preorder holder. I love the truck despite a few minor trim / panel fitment issues. I am not the best at taking pictures and mostly have them of the fitment issues...
  14. Took R1S Delivery! So worth the wait... and what’s not working, broken or needs fixing

    I recently took delivery of an R1S as well. I have also not had much luck with the wireless charging. here are the other issues I have had: - drivers rear door window trim - silver trim around the top not seated properly - hood alignment off - clunking noise upon acceleration from a stop which...
  15. Guide offered me alternate R1S today

    Mine has underbody and i asked my guide and he said it would delay if I changed it. So if you want it soon I would spec the underbody shieldā€¦. Drove the truck some today and the suspension handling is just unreal! You canā€™t explain how little body roll there is on a truck with 33ā€ AT tires...
  16. Guide offered me alternate R1S today

    They said the same thing (6-8 weeks) to me. After meeting the the delivery specialist today I think they are just drinking from a fire hose trying to get vehicles out the door. He said it was his 3rd R1S delivery. If you get a notice that your charger ships you will be getting it s00n! The R1S...
  17. Guide offered me alternate R1S today

    I am November ā€˜19 R1S preorder and taking delivery today. I have Black (BM) interior and it seems like almost all getting vehicles do. If you want it now and are ok with black then it seems like you should switch in your config to black. This is typical of a production ramp especially when...
  18. Any R1S pre-orders hear from guides recently?

    that is interesting. I am taking delivery today 9/16 and I am vin 569ā€¦ I guess they are not sequential.
