The Count's not so hot take (day 1 after R1S delivery)

[Count Orlok]

two words: not bad...

the Count's not so hot take:

1. first thing you should do is disable the lane assist (it is very aggressive and misreads lane borders).
2. second thing to do: if you're not using the 3rd row put those seats down or else you're vision is blocked by the 3rd row headrests.
3. With aplomb and road 21s, it cut through 6 inches of snow on my unplowed drive as well as the 20 inch high county snow plow bank where the drive meets the road.
4. ride quality: soft and meandering on 4-lane roads 60-80 mph; nimble and responsive on curving country roads.
5. noise: no more wind noise than our GLS or F-150. The motor sounds will take getting used to but are not terrible. However, there is a lot more noise than any other vehicle I've owned coming from salt, slush, and road gravel into the wheel wells.
6. panel gaps: nothing too bad but not quite as tied down as I would expect for a "luxury" brand.
7. Chicago SC delivery team was amazing.

the Count's minor gripes:

• R1S rendering on the driver's screen is not the color of the vehicle.
• fixed headrest (1975 called and also suggests a bench front seat).
• L1 charging, holy hell... I assume it takes a while for the software to learn my house but in the first 55 minutes it lost 4 miles.

Glad to hear you love your Rivian truck!

Submit a ticket about the color on the screen. It's supposed to match your r1s.

Awesome. I am happy to hear that the 21’s performed well in the snow.

Would you say this is a “simmering” take? Or maybe a “lukewarm” take? Room temperature?
