Best thing to do is wait for the refresh and if it isn't significant you might be able to get a deal on a pre-refresh one.

Someone finally bought my R1T this week from the dealership I traded it in to. I got an email from Rivian asking me to confirm I sold it 2 days ago. I confirmed that I sold it and the vehicle disappeared from my app today. Not sure how long they wait for the previous owner to respond before they...

I wrote up a comparison of the R1T to the Lightning if you are interested here: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/traded-in-my-r1t-for-an-f150-lightning.24548/ But basically Lightning is a quieter ride, much larger interior and has more storage. Rivian pretty much has an advantage in...

I would not buy a Rivian right now, but considering leasing an R1S as a 2nd EV.

One of the few brightspots my Lightning's software has over my old R1T. Having reliable navigation via Android Auto. Rivian really needs to step it up.

Honestly if rivian would hurry up and implement text messaging and improve their navigation or add native waze, a lot less people would want AA or CP.

I finalized my R1S configuration in November 2023. Rivian sales contacted me last month saying they had a similar config, but I declined. I've had my guide freeze my order until the summer when Standard+ is in production.

He probably has an SR. With the ER, EPA range is 320 miles. After driving it for a bit, on similar routes as my R1T, the Lightning is about 0.1 to 0.2 mi/kwh lower than the R1T. So my quad motor R1T would have done better on longer drives in terms of range and charging speed, but at the end of...

I traded my R1T in for $57000. Lower than I wanted, but that is consistent with what other dealerships offered. Carvana and Vroom were offering $52000. The MSRP for the Lariat ER was $78003. There was $5000 Ford cash + $7500 Federal Rebate + I negotiated an additional $2000 off. So final cost...

tldr; Both are awesome trucks. If you don't need the extra cabin space, R1T is the better truck. After having another child a few months ago, it became pretty apparent that the back seat of the R1T was not sufficient for our family anymore. With the newest discounts for the F150 Lightning...

Ford announces $5000 incentive for Lariat ER today. Wonder if this is coincidence or not. Rivian really should have started with the R2 and worked their way up to R1 later.

I saw a standard R1S in the R1S shop yesterday. So I think they are starting to build them.

I locked in an R1S and December and want to change it to Standard+ battery and change the color. I emailed my guide (who is now different than the guide I had when I got my R1T) and he basically said I can use the R1S shop to change my configuration. Problem is they don't have any Standard+ dual...

Yes, Lightning you can power your house, but the system cost something like $10k to install. Alternatively the Lightning has a 240v plug that you can use as a cheaper alternative.

I'm likely going to cancel my reservation as well. I have no interest in paying 100k for a "Founder's edition", and they won't start making the regular ones until next year. Not to mention how drastically the specs changed and everything they removed from their vehicles (sonic sensors, radar)...

I want an R1FT, full size R1T. Wider seats, and 5 ft bed.

Pretty sure R1T is cheaper to drive than a comparable truck. My F150 used to get around 11 mpg on the freeway. Plus with gas usually $2 more per gallon on major routes, if I were driving on Highway 5 from Southern CA to Northern CA, there would be a big price difference.

Hmm, the temporary shop I have access to doesn't mention the leasing, and if I go to the regular R1 shop it says I'm creating a new order instead of replacing the existing one.

There are a ton of Quad Motor R1S in the R1S shop, so its not a long wait for that. Dual motor R1S is the longest wait right now if you want the large battery instead of max pack.

Still quite a few quad motors in the R1S shop, so pretty much. Probably a lot of dual motor orders now.
