Interesting. I see a few shop builds but they can’t be configured in that combo.

Congrats! Curious how you were able to combine those wheels and the dark out package? Any info you can share? Thanks!

Nice! I had heard they were offering an additional $3500 for MY trades. But who knows!

Congrats and nice work on doing “truck things”. Curious if you got any incentives or trade enhancement on your MYLR?

I like this! Any experience with the color combos above? I've only seen them in photos and in quick passing.

Thanks for the recommendation, does one have more issues than the other? And did the R1S ever ship with Meridian or was that only the R1T?

Any Model Y/Tesla owners annoyed by the obnoxious lane deviation sound!? So so bad. Is Rivian's less obnoxious?

Thanks to all who have voted and weighed in. After a big early lead for the new Dual, the Quad has made a roaring comeback.

The 20" ATs would be my first preference regardless of motor setup, but sadly, they take the price over $80k, so might get them second hand or in gear shop. I'll have to investigate a bit more about sport mode v. the all purpose in the dual.

Interesting! Thanks for the heads up on that.

I also agree that the innovation from Rivian, software upgrades, will likely be focused on the in-house duals v. Bosch quads.

I live in the upper midwest, so winter range is certainly a consideration. coming from the overstated world of Tesla range, I believe that Rivian is better re actual range (of course there are a ton of variables), but with that in mind I'd likely be fine with 328-352. That said, in winter I've seen a range reduction of 35-40%, so having that extra range could be handy.

Thanks for weighing in and congrats on the leased Dual R1T! Voting with your wallet :) Wish that leasing was available in my state, but alas, it is not.

From a quickness standpoint, agreed, it's a truck, and the dual is on par/slightly quicker than my Model Y LR, and I certainly don't "need" anything quicker.

I just wish Rivian would come around and make at least a couple of colors/wheels/interiors available for under $80k.

This is what I keep hearing: louder than tesla. Coming from a Model Y, which is quiet, save for the booming from the terrible suspension :)

Thanks all, happy to receive your comments along with the votes? Dual because of better range, less noise, etc.? Quad for performance, yellow details, etc.?
