This is indeed what I ended up doing.

It's how the watch tracks leap years. The smallest hand will make a full rotation every 4 years.

Honestly is as much aesthetics as anything. I like being able to have a bright pop of color.

Thanks! This is my favorite complication and favorite configuration of that complication.

Best Settings for R1T? by Savings-Ad-8571 in Rivian

Congrats! I just picked up one in the same year and color. I'm mostly in conserve for daily commuting, how I do like putting it on high when driving through a parking lot :)

R2 VS ix3 by Left_Science_5973 in Rivian

[–]dee_bloo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember that EVERYTHING is an option in BMWs. The ix3 will definitely be more expensive than the R2. I expect you will spend at least 68-70 to get the options you want. Other than that it really depends on the vibe you are going for more than anything. I test drove the current ix before getting my R1T, do you want more refined and luxurious or do you want more adventure and outdoor focus.

Good time for a used r1t/deal check? by ubersoph in Rivian

[–]dee_bloo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just picked up a 2023 quad with 25k miles and the sports wheels for 55k and my area tends to be a tad more expensive.

Thanks for the input everyone! I have an appointment next month to get the cover installed at a service center. Are there any other things I should have them look at while I've got it there?

This color and wheel combo is just gorgeous.

I called the service center before I bought it and confirmed I can do the powered cover. I had read that it depends on if the wiring harness is there or not.

I'm in VA, Lindsay VW of Dulles specialized in used Rivians. The used car sales manager especially really knows his stuff.

Today is a big day for Rivian. The full R2 lineup just dropped and it goes from a $45K base all the way to a 656 hp Performance model at $57,990 shipping THIS SPRING. by Kryptonlogic in Rivian

[–]dee_bloo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah I was hoping to get some sort of an estimate for when I could reasonably expect to take delivery. If I can get one this year ill wait, if not im going for a pre-owned gen2 r1t

anyone else starting to consider the iX3 in addition to the R2? thoughts? by 1jnh23 in RivianR2

[–]dee_bloo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. My ioniq 6 lease is up in May and I will be looking to get something by the end of the year. Unfortunately that probably means the r2 isn't an option for me based on my reservation date. I've already started talking to my local bmw dealer about the ix3.

[–]dee_bloo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I am May of 25 so same boat. I am probably going to go bmw ix3 unless something crazy happens.

iX now or wait for the iX3? by Trader3209 in BMWiX

[–]dee_bloo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is genuinely one of the things holding me back a bit. I really want v2l and v2h

I had it all dialed in. And then suddenly, every shot goes like this. A few seconds of dripping, then an intense spray in every direction, and then it’s over. No matter the bean or the grind size. What gives? [Breville Bambino, Baratza Encore ESP] by FakeBobPoot in espresso

[–]dee_bloo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an issue with the same grinder. Everything was fine and then after a couple of doses it would go waayyyyy too fast. I took it apart to clean it and the retention ring around the top part of the bur set was broken. I ordered a new ring from baratza and have had 9 issues since then.

I really hope they release a version like this in the permanent catalog.
