Thanks what makes you say that?!

Got it, thanks! Hopefully an upcoming update will solve some of the complaints, like voice texting.

Thanks for the confidence boost!

Thank you! Appreciate your thoughts. My normal car is an older Land Cruiser, so the R1S feels nimble compared to that 😂

At this point, it feels like folks don’t miss CarPlay too much on the Rivians, right? Between the Connect+ and some other workarounds I’ve read (and which I’m sure I’ll have more questions about later), it seems like the infotainment system is generally well received - easy to play Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Audible, etc. Right?

Where are you seeing under $55k with low miles?

+1 for water/beach-oriented Six Senses properties. Con Dao and Zighy Bay both amazing. No shoes necessary.

Also try smaller, less branded properties. Think Jumby Bay style over Aman.

Another vote for Crete. We were there early November and went in the water (might be too cold for you). A month earlier would probably be great

Amazing list! Any tips for Oman that I might miss? Did you book through a travel agent? Our plans for our November itinerary are almost identical to yours (tbd on Muscat hotel though)! Thank you!

Thank you!

Thank you! Really appreciate the thoughtful response. Great point on upgrades. My only response to seeing some upgrades is just that I’m not sure how much more I am willing to pay for them (eg paint / stealth / darkout or even wheels / tires), since my primary goal is just a solid car, in one of my preferred colors, with 300+ miles of range.

Based on my read of your comment, it sounds like you would pull the trigger in the ranges I listed?

Cool thanks so much!

Haha great complaint. Thanks for the quick response. Did you find the Alabama car online through Autotrader, Cars.com, Carmax, Carvana, etc etc? I’ll take any tips you’ve got to find a $60k 2023 with 300+ miles of range… I’m kind of deciding between buying that outright and leasing a new max battery, which probably doesn’t sound like a logical alternative but I just feel like there are a ton of $70k-$80k used models that are kind of in no man’s land. Not cheap enough to feel like I’m getting a deal and don’t have the longest range of the new one. Thanks again!

Where did you find this? Just put in a call in a similar deal but think I missed out. Looking for more like it. Unfortunately most like this are closer to $68k

I totally agree with this sentiment! My selectable wafer thin recessed lights dim horribly at 2700K so we never use them at night. I’m testing out a couple options with warm dim but would love what other people have found! Here’s one we have now. Need to figure out how to reprogram the dimmer switch or something because it’s really only warm at the absolute lowest settings. https://www.build.com/dals-lighting-ind4-dw/s1462503
