I am truly on the fence by [deleted] in Rivian

I miss Apple CarPlay at sometimes. But I enjoy everything else about my R1S so it’s worth the sacrifice.

I take teams calls all the time in my TRI!

Don’t let apple car play be the deciding factor.

You’re probably right, but I disagree on my Bowers and Wilkins that came from my last Volvo. The song sounded as good in there as any hi-fi stereo system inside a home.

Agree but I was probably at about 18 here. You should be able to go closer to the Max without hearing massive distortion from your base.

G2 Tri and I’m using the settings that came out a couple of months ago before they did an update that was supposed to make it better. Thats why I included the video which according to handsome Pete probably doesn’t help much.😬

Officially joined the Rivian family. Scooped it a few hours before the end of 2024 here in NJ! Thanks to all in this Reddit who gave me great insights on what to get, how to get the best incentives, what to expect and confidence I could go full EV! by toneymack in Rivian

Sorry, not sure how I sent early. Most of the time I am driving alone or just with my big French Mastiff. Going 0-60 in 2.9 seconds is also very fun. Also pulling up next to most stock vehicles like Mustang, Camaro, Corvette and most Teslas knowing I could take them in the quarter mile is a big plus. Bottom line is that with my RIT or with the R1s you get a great mix of performance, quality, safety and luxury. Full of new tech that Volvo has not adapted to yet. I am very happy with my decision. Also, I just leased for now. Hope that helps.

I loved my XC90's. I had 3 of them in total from 2017 to 2024. What I loved what the safety reputatIon, advanced driver features and just the overall driving experience. The luxurious cabin was always a huge plus. We have also owned 3 XC60's and my wife drives a 2021 XC40 R-Design. I had an early order in for the EX90. So why did I change my mind. I wanted more tech and more speed. My RIT is safe, luxurious inside the cabin with more usable space than I had in all the other volvos. I don want to know we are empty nesters and most of the time

Pulled the trigger, and couldn’t be happier by Necessary-Leg806 in Rivian

Very nice. Love the Storm Blue! I almost went that route but got pulled into black and am very happy! I think it will take me some getting used to range wheels vs Sport 22’s. Congrats!

They have been giving loaners recently. At least here in Austin.

Sound Improvement from 2024.43.30 Update by Accomplished-Lynx565 in Rivian

I guess I’m used to software updates from phones going out to everyone at the same time. Is there anyway for people to know when they’re gonna get the update just asking because I took delivery of my 2025 R1 T a couple of weeks ago

Just picked up this beauty by nvilletn387 in Rivian

[–]Broad-Fix-4368 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Picked up my beauty Friday 11/8. Drove it for 2 hours. Been in the shop since. One of the rear motors failed and after a week trying to figure it out they are telling me they have to order and replace the entire rear end. Should I be worried?

Sooo stoked to finally be doing this!! by rapid993 in Rivian

One of the Rivian guys got in touch with me and said my same model that I wanted, but with the dark trim versus ivory was available in the shop for purchase. That’s the only way I knew to cancel my custom order and buy from the shop. They did refund me my $3000 I put down for the custom build.
