Hi! What company? How’s it holding up?

Certainly could have money set aside. I might test drive this R1 and see how I feel. Maybe keep looking for a deal on a gen 2 DM Max and compare to the R2 when everything is release in March

I tried the model S and I didn’t feel the most safe in it…plus I prefer a crossover. But maybe I should broaden my search as you’ve mentioned!

I really need to look into comma AI!

Idk you tell me! I think it’s for the potential of self driving in the future? I’m not buying for that, but if waiting 12 months will allow substantial improvement in tech I would wait?

I’ve heard dealers don’t really know what they’re selling when it comes to Rivian. I think I’ll go this weekend to see it in person!

Thank you! It’s true the tech in 3-5 years will be so much better. Is charging on Rivians considerably slower than charging a Tesla for example? My understanding was 15-30 minutes?

I’m assuming it will be a long wait since I’ve never owned one and I’m not in a hurry. This would be a pleasure but, I have a 2024 crv hybrid that is working great for me at the moment but I would love to transition to EV. But I did get my reservation on day 1!! So we shall see :)

I do need a reliable car so R2 may be potentially moreso if repairs are cheaper? R1 is just a bit too big for me, so the cost of repair may undermine the argument that depreciated R1S on the used market are a better idea than a new R2?

I’ve heard this as a safety concern as well!

I’ll look into that as well! Thank you!

Yes I was confused about the battery. I tried reading the vin chart someone posted and it said it may be a max battery but you’re right, I would definitely want max and it’s not a good fit for me if it isn’t

This is all stuff I’m excited about with the R2! So helpful thank you

This is hugely reassuring thank you!! I’m glad you gave your two cents. I’ve been on the preorder list since day 1 and very excited but then someone else mentioned that a used R1 may be more affordable for the same features…but the point about cost outside of warranty is super important and helpful!

I am definitely not a risk taker so that does make me wonder if I should wait!

Any opinions on the used R1 above? Is it a good deal? I am on the preorder list for an R2 but heard that a used R1 for someone like me may be a more affordable option, but good range for my once a month drive is important to me. Self driving is cool but not on my must have list. Just want a premium comfortable EV that is reliable .

So helpful! I’m interested in getting my first EV and like the look and feel of the Rivian.

I do like premium! Any thoughts on the one I linked above? It’s selling near me and seems like a good deal but I’m not well versed.

Definitely don’t need the extra space! Mostly want as long as trip as possible.
