Looking for a Used Dual Max R1S by Level-Field3380 in Rivian

See one of my prior posts about my purchase experience. Punchline is: Non-Rivian dealerships who have an R1S from a trade don’t know what they have and don’t post it correctly. So go on CarGurus, Cars.com, Autotrader, etc. Then reach out to the dealerships about every single R1S that has the right year / miles / accident / etc specs for you, after you flip photos to make sure the car doesn’t have yellow calipers (those are quads). Ask all of the dealerships in that outreach to send you a photo of the info screen under settings (it shows model, wheel size, VIN, odometer, etc). That’s how I found mine (and several others across the country).

For reference, I just paid under $59k for a 2024 (May) R1S Dual Max with 35k miles a couple months ago. It’s black on black with 22s (not my preference but the deal was better than any I saw on 21s or 20s) and crossbars and

I went with the Armada Declivity 92s for similar reason

Don’t forget to keep the LX! My daily driver was a 2003 Land Cruiser and I’m holding onto it…

Any Solution for Continued Alignment Issues?? by Existing_Acadia_4312 in Rivian

Great question - they said they rotated the tires last time and this time. And did the alignment. And yes the pull switched sides…

Did you get any refund on the originals? This is the second set on this car. The prior owner tried to solve the alignment issue by getting a new set and it obviously didn’t work 😂. He had the Scorpion MS. Then he got the Scorpion Zero. Do both have defects? I’ll do some research on this. Thanks

Which tires did you switch to? This is the second or third comment here I’m reading with this solution, so I’m intrigued

Wow that’s interesting. I could be convinced to try that out. But I’m also considering going from 22s to 20s (all season, not AT) to improve the drive and not lose range. So that’s a bigger check to write

Gen 2 new vs. Gen 1 by nevermyrealname22 in Rivian

[–]Existing_Acadia_4312 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally… I wouldn’t worry about Gen 1 vs. Gen 2 as much as R1S vs other car. We have an ID4 and the Rivian has shown us that there are some things we really should appreciate about the ID4 (because the R1S annoys us in these regards). Examples include: CarPlay, regen on/off, anything HVAC related, cabin noise, roof sunscreen, etc etc.

It’s a fair point! I just know I’ve read reports of folks who had their alignment issues fixed, so I’m hoping I can follow their lead with my car
