I'm confused by your statement that their variable power assist is not drive by wire. It definitely electronic power steering which means it's drive by wire, correct? It's definitely not hydraulic. If it wasn't EPS, they wouldn't be able to adjust its behavior with a software updates and...

LOL.. okay.. Well no vehicle is fully drive by wire, but manufacturers have of course used the term to refer to how it's been used to enhance driving capabilities like power steering, electronic throttle control (dynamic cruise control), electronic braking, lane assist, self parking, etc. They...

Well.. apparently Rivian continues to read the forums and collect owner feedback, because the very first bullet in the additional features with the latest software update was: "Reducing steering effort to maintain straight ahead driving on crowned roads." As I suspected, they are able to tweak...

Yes. Obviously it depends on which drive mode you're in. With Sport you of course feel everything, with all purpose it is a very comfortable ride. My feedback is not related to the ride/handling, it is simply the steering caveat I've conveyed.

Let me also say.. the actual "handling" of the vehicle is amazing. You can take corners at high speeds and it sticks to the ground. It has amazing turning radius. When going fast over uneven roads it still sticks to the ground. I'm talking about the stiffness of the steering and the nature of...

yes. While just driving. It's hard to describe to individuals. I've owned a lot of vehicles in my life, so I have always noticed how some of them drive themselves better than others. I'm not talking about just being out of alignment and pulling to one side. I'm talking about how you get a lot of...

No. This is definitely just the handling of the R1S. I think it's been well enough documented in reviews across the internet. My vehicle has been in the shop for alignment & balance (had a shake in steering at high speeds), suspension bolt adjustment recall, replaced rear drives & disco module...

I'm a little late to the conversation, but as one of the early recipients of an R1S, I'd have to agree that the ride quality could be improved. I'm hoping a lot of it can be addressed with over the air updates, but I'm not sure if it requires an hardware engineering adjustment or software fix...

Exciting news. I'm glad more continues to be delivered. I just got my wall charger today, so need to get that installed next.

yes. It's just a gloss black wrap that is applied over the chrome that matches the reflection of the black windows.

Yes. I just don't have that type of plug available. My Tesla wall charger is hard wired directly into the panel. The Rivian wall charger is also a hard wire is my understanding.

I love the look/feel of it. I'm not worried about the heat/UV. I'll just have some 80-90% put on it to further block sun rays if needed. I decided to not tint it for now and see how the vehicle feels with the rest of the windows tinted. Once I tinted my Tesla S all around (including windshield...

We didn't pick up from service center, it was brought to us on a flat bed. Yes, there was some more paperwork that had to be signed related to my trade-in and receipt of the vehicle. With us, the actual purchase process was completely done by the time the vehicle was dropped off, so there was no...

I haven't finished posting my review yet because I really haven't had a lot of time in the vehicle yet. It's been at the custom shop getting the full body PPF done, chrome delete of that chrome piece that runs along the top and down the back, and all around tinting. It's supposed to be done...

Woohoo.. One of those R1S's was mine. Excited to have taken delivery. They said I was the 2nd one to come through Miami.

Well she is here and she’s a beauty. Detailed post to come tomorrow.

R1S Added

I got my official scheduled delivery date. I get my R1S next Tuesday afternoon. I'll post pictures once it gets here.

Update: I have finished the whole 8 step purchase process besides the scheduling delivery. My R1S is on it's way to Miami right now. I have learned that it will be getting delivered out of Miami vs Orlando now that Miami is open. Once it gets there and pass inspection, I'll be able to schedule...

So you're R1S as well? I see you have an R1T as avatar image. It's interesting that you were contacted by a guide, but didn't confirm configuration at that time. I confirmed mine with the initial guide contact back in April and signed the initial buyers agreement at that time.
