Just curious what you didn’t like about the R1S. I’ve had mine since Spring and love it! I found one very slightly used (500 miles) and other than maybe wanting a bit more range than the 280 I get from the quad motor, 22” wheel set up, it’s been great. It’s no Lucid Air through the turns, but...

I’ve had my AGT for a full year and my R1S since Spring. Both great, though very different vehicles. The R1S is extremely practical. Comfortable to drive, easily hauls a light trailer or hitch bike rack, nice sound system, great UX, but meh range. (Mine only gets 280 on a full charge because of...

Do they know one is missing??!

There ya go, xponents. Not in the same country club as Ferraris and Lambos, but it was a fun car…until EVs spoiled me.

Bunnylebowski strongly recommended against launching on the 19” wheels. Not enough grip and the tires break loose and squeal.

Count me in that club. Stellar White/Mojave AGT and El Cap Granite/Black Mountain R1S LE. Oh, and a white ‘11 BMW M3 that’s getting very little love these days…

Actually, I don’t believe our rates vary by time of day. No peak/off peak. I basically decided to see how it goes without batteries for awhile since I’m told I can now get the tax credit on a battery install at a later date.

Yea, that was kinda my thoughts. My son was discussing something about even if I had net metering, the utility co. could buy the excess at a bargain rate and sell it back to me at a premium, plus the transmission charge, but if it's a kw for a kw, not sure how they'd do that.

Hey, I'm back for more collective wisdom. It's looking like our solar install will start shortly. Using REC panels, which should, in theory, provide ~60-65% of our yearly power needs. My next question would be batteries. It's my understanding that I can get a 30% fed tax credit on them, but only...

A slight deviation from topic, but I’m finding considerable inconsistency in the volume of different tracks. Kinda surprising for a “premium streaming service”. Anyone else noticing this?

Possibly. I’m helping out at a local cycling event in the AM. Might be able to swing by.

I’m looking forward to having a service center close enough that I don’t have to pack an overnight bag! And yes, I’m also hoping for an invitation to the grand opening…

My wife clipped a mailbox due to an oncoming car crowding her. Shattered the right side mirror, broken the plastic turn signal lens and a small ding in the mirror housing. Mobile service came out and replaced the housing and mirror lens, but didn’t have the internal parts to allow mirror...

I have to second Tesla2.0’s assessment. We’ve had our AGT for nearly a year and a LE R1S since late Sprint. The Rivian is my daily driver and I love it. Its looks are distinctive, while still retaining some traditional aspects. The UX is very stable and well-sorted. And it does a straight line...

Yep…it’s stunning at sunset.

I’ve found my profile doesn’t always retain the active CarPlay setting. Maybe 50% of the time, I have to go to devices in settings and tap the CarPlay icon for my phone to reactivate it. Both phone and vehicle are on the most current software versions.

Although my statement was meant somewhat tongue in cheek…and after some pretty good dry Riesling, I do see our generation as transitional in its carbon dependence. I own an R1S because it fits my transportation needs and is a hell of a lot more carbon friendly than my previous GMC Yukon. I own...

Stopped by the Philadelphia Premium Outlets (not really even close to Philly) to satisfy my wife’s need to exchange an mis-sized garment. Figured, EA 150s are here. Why not grab some free charge and throw in a charging tutorial for my wife. Pulled up to charger #4. Blazingly hot sun (by PA...

Is it me, or are massive EVs with massive lithium batteries antithetical to the “Let’s maybe not kill the planet in our grandkids’ lifetimes” effort?

A security camera feature comes in very handy. When someone drunkenly doored my new Rivian this summer, I sent them a clip of the event and they “graciously“ offered to help with the repair costs. My AGT getting doored would necessitate a few therapy sessions at least. Choosing just the right...
