Right Here.
Vehicles
R1S, MS
In Woodside, CA, which is a couple of miles away from Rivian's office in Palo Alto. They had non-CA plates (Illinois or Michigan?), so clearly corporate cars, but it's great to see them in the neighborhood while patiently (?) waiting for ours. They were stopped in the middle of the road and looked kind of lost so I followed them out of curiosity and sure enough, they ended up in a private driveway just up the road and had to turn around. Maybe they were debugging the GPS? :)

Apologies for my dirty windshield.

Review/Initial Impressions:

Build Quality:
So I have driven a variety of vehicles and I basically forgot how the R1T Drove from my mobile drive in April but as expected yes this thing is a beast/unreal. Getting inside feels like you are stepping into a business class seat on a Boeing with your own TV/LED Display for your viewing pleasure. The seats are comfy, the materials are nice to the tough and everything is setup very well. It feels almost UNREAL that this is a vehicle from a company who really just started making vehicles 6/7 months ago. 90% Of the panels were Fitted great while there are a few fitment gaps but almost nothing I'd complain about. The build process does how ever come with some minor issues which I will list below.


Suspension/Handling:

So the great news is this vehicle drives and turns like it has no business doing as we all know. It accelerates blistering fast and turns amazingly well with some great feedback on sport mode.

The odd news is depending on the road type I can't see to fine something comfy for all road driving, around here we have some crazy dips so in soft mode the vehicle has some crazy compression and rebound (bouncy as hell) in stiff mode its very firm almost to a point where its mega stiff like a sports car. I hope another mode is coming soon for a good all purpose sweet spot where compression and rebound are fine tuned (should be easy based on all the work they have done).

The height is still also a factor even in lowest ride height it still goes about 21+ inches for ingress and hits my knees and a little bit higher for my wife. she does like how its easy to get out tho so that is a bonus I guess.


The Drive:

Despite these issues if you find your self a smooth pavement around the area its pretty amazing, I got use to regen almost immediately having another BEV but I wish coming to a stop was a bit smoother as sometimes I didn't get timing right and basically the car thru regen comes to an aggressive stop. Just have to get use to it but again would love an option to tone down % of regen or levels of Regen all together.

Final Thoughts:

The R1S SUV is simply amazing for what you get even at a higher price point for you post March 1st orders. We could not be more happier with all the features and all the amazing storage/frunk space you get. We Love the vehicle and simple was a great experience from start to finish getting it delivered.



Issues:
The Chillewich mats were cut out wrong, not sure how this passed haha, they were cut using the wrong template inversely.

Hi all,

Took delivery of my R1S at El Segundo facility. First off, very impressive facility and the employees are super nice and friendly. Scott was my deliver team member. I got there about 45 minutes early for my appt. It was the only S on the lot. Very cool in some stupid way. I walked around it and enjoyed the experience. Lots of oxytocin being released. LOL

So worth the wait.

Anyone seen any photos out there of a Glacier White R1S with the dark AT wheels? 95% of the photos are 22" brights (which look great).

What’s better than an almost 4 year wait for an R1S….?

Taking delivery at the SAME TIME as your brother gets his R1T!!! 😎

This vehicle is mind blowing!
