Still awaiting our R1S as well. Would hate to pay the new pricing or whatever markups on the early used ones though.

Someone on Cars and Bids had their R1S sell for $130K. Not too shabby

Panel gape nightmare, shame on such a nice truck. Interior quality is mostly excellent. I'm surprised to see the extent of wood use and how they use it. Very challenging, and potential for the wood trim to warp and crack. Overall this is a beautiful SUV.

Hopefully it'll improve in 2 years when mine is probably slated to come! Lol

On a more serious note, never want to be a an early adopter on these cars...remember Tesla before?!

Early review models were great because they were more or less hand built. We're starting to see teething problems as they try to ramp up to ~75K deliveries this year

I'm still hoping I get bumped up from Q4 of this year though

I am seeing a lot of Rivians around. One of my daughter's friends parents just got the SUV, I see at least 1-2 a week.

Pulling out of my office garage today, a truck and an SUV charging next to each other!

Quite a few around here too, but in more vibrant colors. They look good.

Same here. Probably a month or two after they launched I've seen a bunch. Definitely way more of these than I've thought I would. Even more than the Ford Lightning, though I'm sure those sell in much larger numbers, or it looks to similar to the regular truck and I don't notice all of them. Lol.

They're all of the place here but no surprise, we were a target city for Rivian. I love the way they look.

I've seen the pick up here and there. This week I saw two SUV in same area two days in a row. One white, one black. The look is neutral to me. But not for me. For this price, I would get something else. The ground clearance though. Dang... it looks as if it's more than the LX's.

Our R1S is still slated May/June of this year. was debating if we should wait for a Max Pack Dual Motor, but they haven't released pricing details for existing reservation holders... as least not that I've seen.

Plenty of T's around here. But starting to see S's as well. Just saw 2 S's this morning.

I'm also seeing a few R1T's, mostly in blue. Someone in my neighborhood has one, I see him occasionally driving by. I think they look really cool
