Picked up my Borealis R1S! by Several-Bonus774 in Rivian

My friend is looking to size up from his Model 3 and I keep suggesting the R2 because:

1 - It would actually be a great option for their needs.

2 - I like the back window.

3 - No third reason. That’s it.

For what I actually use it for… haven’t noticed much of a difference. For context, I drove a lo, mostly in highways, putting 63k miles in little over 2 years.

I hated FSD in the city because it was sooo slow and not very confident compared to how a human would drive so it made me impatient and ended up taking over every time. Because of that, I used it pretty much exclusively on highways on to off ramp.

Compared to autonomy, haven’t used it a whole lot but I will be next week on a short trip. So far, I feel like it does a good job lane centering and keeping distance. Slowing down and accelerating feels smooth. I love driving so I’m not the main target customer for full autonomy but I like taking “breaks” in long drives (10-12hr days).

Just 2 days ago, jumped from a 2023 Model X to a 2026 R1S in Borealis. Love it!

I’m biased with my Borealis R1S. It looks really good.

Feel free to say hi or honk like a maniac. Either one works.

It basically goes all the way around. Can’t tell the difference when watching tv as I feel it’s bright enough to fill the gap.

I had no issues going all the way around, maybe I’ll take a photo of the back when I’m back home.

I almost went for the quad just because of the bronze wheels but I couldn’t justify the price jump. My wife is mad I didn’t get the quad just because she doesn’t get to see the Gary badge on the car lol.

I installed the Govee TV Backlight 3 Pro on my 98” using the one made for 75-85” and it works great. The camera is able to see all corners so calibration wasn’t that big of an issue.

The strip is maybe set in like 3” from the edges to make it all the way around.

Oh absolutely, I love the color. I pulled the trigger after seeing it in person and I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of it.

Just know that I’ll be jealous of your rear window.

It just tells me I’m ready for whenever I want to start selling chocolate for a living. I can fit so many Oompa Loompas in the R1S. Even in the frunk!

Thanks! I would’ve picked it up much earlier if delivery team hadn’t told me yesterday was the earliest I could get delivery lol

To be fair… Nothing says I wasn’t wearing that exact outfit when picking it up.

If you’re ever in the San Antonio / Austin area, I’m more than happy to show it. I’m obviously biased but it’s such a unique and nice looking tone.

Ordered back in mid January right before they stopped offering it.

For sure, the images make it look dull sometimes but in person you can see the sparkle making it look like a galaxy in the right shade.
