I placed a deposit for the R1S in November 2020. Desperately needing a car, I picked up the 2023 Genesis GV60 in the middle of last year. Initially, I thought I would flip the R1S, but after attending the R1S first-mile event in March, I changed my mind. I sold the Genesis for a good amount of loss and purchased the R1S.
Here's my accessories list:
1. LinerX mats (still waiting for delivery).
2. Twraps - Phone wireless charger, screen protector, center console.
3. Samsung Shield SSD.
Modifications/Upgrades:
1. Ceramic Pro ultimate ION armor package with full IR window tinting. Front windows and windshield at 70%, side windows at 5%, roof and rear windshield at 35%. Done at an Elite Dealer in the Bay Area.
2. RMAXX running boards ordered.
3. DIY - CarPro CQuartz Leather 2.0 ceramic coating
Likes:
1. Smooth ride.
2. Range is better or in line with EPA ratings, use 100% all-purpose with standard height and soft suspension.
3. Rivian sound system.
4. Turning radius is far better than Genesis GV60.
Dislikes:
1. Not happy with conserve mode ride quality or keeping the suspension in auto setting. The auto setting causes a constant tick-tock sound that annoys me.
2. Rattle noises from panels if I increase the sound level beyond 13 to 15.
3. Headrest - My wife is 5'1'' and has a hard time with the headrest in the passenger seat. Rivian should have designed the seat with adjustable headrests; it feels like it was designed with 6 ft people in mind.
4. HVAC - Feel fan noise is louder and also weaker than all other cars I have owned in the past.
So many random people in parking lots wanted to take a look at the interior, and one common compliment is that it's better than Tesla and has a high-quality interior.
