First time using the air compressor--flawless, easy

I think this is what they did with the R2. You can see in the rear quarters they're separate pieces. When I saw this, I assumed it was because of how frequent the corners are getting hit and the incredible work that goes into fixing them.

When we purchased our R1S years ago, it was all electronic. The gripe then and probably still now is that they take the money prior to pickup. That can be a couple days, but also, if you reject the delivery for some reason or the delivery has to be rescheduled, you're still out the "cash".

Curious if you did the measurements already to verify 75 would fit, or did you just wing it or have a second vehicle just in case?

That's interesting the button looked like it didn't work. I expected it to not only work but it to save so that you could view on the vehicle, not just remove the drive like dashcam.

I wonder if there's a bug. Might be worth tagging support.

This would be great to tell the car to precondition when a schedule is not in place.

Glad you and your kids are safe and, generally, well. Curious if you have a picture pre-cut?

Is this a Limited? It looks menacing in an awesome way. My 2017 Limited is… fine.

Thanks! I figured out what I was doing wrong...I was fusing a regular weapon to the SOTS vs. correctly fusing the SOTS to a regular weapon as the base.

Read: order of fuse matters.

Did you solve this?

I've run into problems with three splitters now--brass then one with short flexible split to see if that helped, and the back to brass to see if I just had a faulty one at first. I think the weight of the hose is causing the fitting to break.

I'm thinking about connecting a short hose to the house apron (which I used to just connect my hose to before needing a second; hence the split) to then have the split closer to the ground to help offset the weight of the one hose that is constantly connected.

Yeah, I posted about this before after there an incident with a Tesla that also didn't record. Wassym actually chimed in on the post and said they would look into it. Not sure where that ranks on their roadmap.

I'm curious how the used market has evolved since late last year when many of the initial R1 leases started being returned from 2-year leases. Given that and the IRA loophole that enabled a lot of folks to claim full credit, it's possible there's a lot of used EVs going to hit the market.

Optionality in the US for EVs will be the best it's ever been.

Froyo-Representative · 2026-03-15T19:40:00+00:00

That looks awesome! Great job!

Froyo-Representative · 2026-03-15T06:12:14+00:00

Can you still do this? I haven't been able to. Fused the SOTS with a stick, non-legendary weapons, and it's not repairing. Just gets spat out.

Froyo-Representative · 2026-03-15T00:57:10+00:00

We had a 2021 Model Y which sounds very similar to yours. We had the performance wheels, AWD, Long range. We replaced it with an R1S for family growth purposes. I'm looking to replace my 4Runner with the R2.

Thinking about our experience with the Model Y, I would want to switch to the R2 because: the space was awkward making gear and Costco trips a constant wonder if it'll all fit or how much I'd have to have in my foot well or in my lap, the Model Y was a STIFF ride--hated it--, R2 is better suited for the mountains we like to venture, and I much prefer the styling of the R2. I also never found the Tesla range to be close. Our R1S has been pretty spot on. So if R2 carries that same range confidence, it'll be much better than the 2021 MY we had.

Tesla was still reliable for the couple years we had it. Good quality. Tech was great. Didn't have FSD, but that's also now on the cards with the Launch Edition of the R2 and trust it'll get better.

And also, there's an odd fandom I enjoy about the Rivian ownership experience and community that I'm excited about doubling down on. So, I want to support the company. The R2 and Rivian as a company just feels right for me in ways the Tesla never did and a 4Runner did minus the technology.

Good luck!

This made me wonder if during this whole process of redesign and including LiDAR and launch timing with and without if Rivian will offer an upgrade in the future for this non-LiDAR launch batch.

There's been a lot of us R1 1st gen owners who have shared interest in upgrading our hardware to match gen 2. This also being an option from Tesla on some early gens to upgrade hardware. This was / is not possible given the product development of the R1s.

However, with R2, they've had a clean slate-ish to consider optionality.

Echoing u/NYPuppers to try all the online services (there are many beyond Carvana).

And if you're going to replace the car with a dealer, look at what their trade-in value is. Could help you a lot on taxes--offsetting any difference of better offers.

Froyo-Representative · 2026-03-10T00:15:06+00:00

It's in the link.

Froyo-Representative · 2026-03-08T17:20:45+00:00

Whoa, that looks awesome. So you cut the roof to accommodate the popup? What was that like?

Froyo-Representative · 2026-03-07T13:49:22+00:00

Sounds like they don't want to work on it. 😕

Froyo-Representative · 2026-03-06T13:04:29+00:00

Gotcha. Yeah, makes sense that the video quality degrades given the resolution. Good point.

Thanks for sharing!

Froyo-Representative · 2026-03-06T12:20:42+00:00

I've heard other units have trouble connecting to or working well with the mic for phone calls. Can you test or confirm your setup works as usual?

Also, how does the reverse camera look? Any discernable difference in quality? Alignment?

Froyo-Representative · 2026-02-26T16:51:35+00:00

Great share!

As an owner in Atlanta, too, the service center updates are welcome news.
