2025 R1S TriMax Storm Blue Delivery…an incredible machine

[martinwilkes]

New to the forum (for posting) but have been a voyeur for months, have absorbed lots of useful information, and am grateful for a resource like this!

I took delivery of an 2025 R1S Tri Max October 15th. Black Mountain/Dark ash wood/dynamic glass roof/premium audio. I had formerly been waiting for a DPM El Cap Darkout Dynamic Glass Roof since July 6th. The wait had become close to unbearable, as i was told to anticipate delivery in 6 weeks (the website now shows 3-6 months for custom builds).

I went to the shop online to see if a build close to my custom order was available, and I rather quickly and unexpectedly fell in love with with a storm blue TriMax. The Rivian guide I was working with shared the vehicle was already in my home state. I cancelled my original order ( was refunded the deposit) and reserved the TriMax which I picked up three days later. A sweet satisfying ending to what was becoming a long saga. I have seen others stuck in a similar holding pattern and if you’ve had enough, this may be an avenue for you to consider.

Regarding my experience, I have never been more enamored with a vehicle, ever. Expectations exceeded, and then some. Uncertain exactly what information I should be sharing, but happy to try my best to answer any questions.

Awesome. Enjoy!

2.05 mi/kWh is a bit low and painful to see, unless you've been taking full advantage of those 850 hp regularly.

I admit to being quite heavy footed especially the first week or two. Since I’ve relaxed with that quite a bit. I’m completely new to the EV arena and was astounded but the acceleration/instant torque etc..

2500 miles in less than a month?! Holy smokes

 

[martinwilkes]

Hahaha, holy smokes to some, i get it…but I drive quite a lot regularly. Commute at least 60 miles total a day for work. And just came back from a road trip to Georgia, ~500 miles each way, which inflates that number a bit.

LOVE that color combo! CONGRATULATIONS!!

Congrats. That is the color and interior I'm holding out for as well. Thank you for sharing the pics.

What is the experience with the dynamic glass? This is a feature that I wish the Gen1 models could have included.... how would you rate it?

I have a Dual Max and splurged on one with the dynamic roof. I love it!

My test drives were midday on a sunny day, in a Rivian with standard glass. Several times, the sun glinted inside my rather thick sunglasses. It was both annoying and debilitating; hindering my forward vision.

Cars with the dynamic glass were rare, so I told my wife, "I can always buy and install a shade." Her reply was, "Why buy your dream car and cheapen it with a shade?"

What a beautiful beast! ?

Congrats!

My takeaway from the photos is the temperatures for the motors. 140 in the front, 170 for the rears! That's a lot hotter than my dual motor where I've barely seen triple digits for the front and the rear usually hovers in the 80s. Admittedly, I've barely had mine for 2 weeks and haven't seen what summer numbers will look like.

I'm another 3-4,000 miles a month guy. If you drive like we do EVs make so much sense. I never anticipated I would like the entire experience the way I do. I was really hesitant, but took the leap and now I will never own an ICE vehicle again. I pick up my Tri Max T Storm Blue/slate interior Wednesday. Will be my third R1T.

 

[Schroederhc]

That's a peach!

Congrats! That color combo with dark out is sweet. If you always drive this much in a month, you chose a great car to do it in.

Were you doing some launches before taking that pic? Those motor temps are a lot higher than I ever see on my DM.
