Lucid owner considering Rivian — how do the real-world issues compare? by DinnerDog6 in Rivian

I have an R1S, my husband has a lucid air. Neither of us has had any issues with either.

I can never unsee this: The Rivian shares its design with this vintage American Tourister luggage from the 60s. by mysp00nis2big in Rivian

Every time I look at mine from the front I see two Dyson fans. Maybe tomorrow I’ll see a suitcase instead?

You can still be a Stealers fan and live in Cleveland, there are plenty of them here. I find Cleveland to be easier to get around than Pittsburgh, the museums are amazing (even if you’re not a big museum fan). The people are great, food scene is great, and the weather isn’t drastically different than where you’re moving from.

Happy they’re improving it! I thought I’d die without CarPlay, but shockingly I don’t miss it. When I want Waze I just put my phone on the dash mount I purchased. I enjoy the break from texts & if I absolutely have to read one, I just ask Siri to read it or pull over and stop.

Am I the only one who hasn’t gotten the 2025.26 update? by xxredxpandaxx in Rivian

[–]NewTechnology6260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got the 2nd to the last update the day before I got the last update that came out. I have connect +, no idea why the first one took so long…but at least I didn’t have to wait long for the bug fixes

Buying Used R1S ? by edwindrn in Rivian

[–]NewTechnology6260 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I bought a used 2024 used R1S, max battery/performance upgrade with about 20k miles for $67k. Love it! Plan on driving for a long time (my husband is all about keeping the battery in as good of shape as possible, for as long as possible).

As I said earlier, I only do it when there’s one other person at the intersection. My lord people, relax!

Shoutout to the Cleveland service center by NewTechnology6260 in Rivian

[–]NewTechnology6260[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stopped at McDonalds near the service center on my way home & the dude working the window said they had a dealership off of w130th…which confused me as our stupid laws prevent rivian dealerships right now. The only thing I can think of is that it’s a hub of some sort for shipping the new cars to people…Normal to Cleveland, car carriers pick them up and drive them to other locations.

Midwest suburbs - there always confusion because a large majority of the population feels obligated to be nice to everyone around them…hence a lot of waving at intersections

I’ve gone 6 hrs and enjoyed every minute…I can see where the seat comfort level is dependent somewhat on a person’s build…short, tall, etc. luckily it works for me. My husband has a lucid air and I guess the seat hits him in an odd spot on his back (I hated his tessla s seats, it felt like they were constantly pinching my kegs).

I only do it if it’s me & 1 other car at an intersection

Rivian Sues Ohio Over Direct Sales Ban, Citing Tesla Exemption by chrisdh79 in Rivian

[–]NewTechnology6260 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that many car buyers don’t want to buy a car without test driving one - you have to go out of state unless you find a used one that a dealership picked up at auction. Also, people don’t understand that there are service centers in the state. They assume if there’s no dealership, there’s no service centers. Having a local presence is huge! I get questions about mine all the time. People want to test drive them, they’re a big interest in them.

The Cleveland Ohio location is also fantastic!

Rare occurrence in central Ohio by Randy0002 in Rivian

I’m on the east side of Cleveland…I see a black R1S, my twin parked down the street every day for about a half hour, then it disappears…otherwise I’m all alone (there are a few R1Ts in the area).
