R2 NVH is great. Ride quality is vastly better than gen1 R1S and a notch better gen2 R1S. Audio is meh. It's not horrible but it's typical Rivian audio quality. No wind nor road noise with the 21s Cooled seats did not work for me. Barely chilly. The compressor/fan for the seats is very...

Since you are a fellow 5N owner... my 5N was SCARY BAD at hard braking in the first 500 miles I was considering having the brakes inspected. Post Sebring track day... they are perfect lol. My test drive is tomorrow and I will try to hard brake myself but I'm more concerned about wind/road noise...

I noticed the half dozen to dozen pre-owned Rivians in FL have been sitting unsold on Rivian's site for a year now and only recently have the prices been cut by $4K. Same with the demo vehicles (I posted about how they were unsold for a year in a different there) which saw $7K price cuts before...

I argue they went backwards with Gen2 + dual motors (the off-road results by reviewers have been laughable) and I've seen fewer Rivians on the trails here in FL. The R1S competes with the higher priced "lifestyle mommy-SUVs" like the LandCruiser and GX which also come with street tires and...

Not even close. https://cleantechnica.com/2025/08/03/tesla-still-stands-alone-in-california-ev-market/ The (declining) sales volumes for the R1S and R1T are too small to sustain a company like Rivian. The Model S/X are side projects (even with economies of scales trickled down from the 3/Y)...

The Jeep Wagoneer S is about the same size and is priced at $75K fully loaded but with $15-20K incentives and they still don’t sell well.

Personally I see the R1 being discontinued in two years less. Same with the Tesla Model S/X. The volumes are so low and sales have declined on the R1T and R1S that’s it’s becoming irrelevant. Folks seem to love test driving it but sales figures show they are balking. It’s not even a profitable...

Rivian has a demand issue with the R1s… I saw two Florida R1s demos sit in the inventory for almost a year unsold. They would disappear and reappear. These were priced in the mid/upper 70s. I’d had put my name on the blue R1S back in early/mid 2024. I saw it reappear a few times and recently...

Genesis EGMP EVs were the least reliable of the bunch and I suspect the GV90 will be more than same… sadly. I really liked the GV60. It’s what I wanted before leasing an Ioniq 5 Limited (sold it when the R1S arrived a few months later) but the horror stories pushed me away. Only the Lyriq...

Yeah don't lease and buy out a first gen EV lol If you are going to lease... there are many options. With 4 kids, I'd consider a Sienna or Grand Highlander or an ID Buzz (don't road trip with this though).

EX90 is built in South Carolina with many US made parts… which is the problem according to the sales guy. The EX30 and other Volvos have software issues but better made parts.

Not an owner but ordered one (arrived and decline)and test drove one on the same day as 10 other EVs. Sales guy said American-built Volvos are kinda of a sh*t show due to parts QC. With that said.. the ride quality, silence, and audio system is next level compared to a Rivian (G1 and G2!) or...

For routing I prefer Google maps as it has pretty accurate traffic. For turn by turn instructions... Apple Maps is 100x better. It will tell what lane you need to be in and to tell you what lights to skip.

I'm with you. Large battery EVs absolutely need 800V charging. Rivians charge far too slowly.

Congrats! I was told no $3000 refresh but yes to $6500 down payment. I test drove one and was super impressed by how stable it was during acceleration. My 23 R1S quad felt squirrelly.

It's a joke. 30% wholesale tax on goods from China won't motivate US companies to manufacture in the US but rather move production to other cheap labor countries. And remember this is only 90 days also. Besides, in four years this will all be undone anyhow.

So I checked my e-mail and this is almost 11 months old. Same VIN. But the price was actually $2K less a year ago. Same thing happened with the Atlanta R1S demo... it sat for 9 months and Rivian increased it $2K before selling it or whatever they did with it. Rivian has a serious demand issue...

Maverick’s price just increased (made in Mexico) so cheap trucks may never no longer exist.

I seriously think Rivian exec sales folks are incompetent and don't understand the EV market. I've seen 4 different demo R1Ses pop back up on the demo site. I have screenshots of 2 that actually increased in price over the year also (I posted in a different thread). These have been sitting for...

Refundable. The $500 is nonrefundable.
