I really like how they look, they’re distinctive without looking weird or ugly.

 

Same. Specs on the enhanced duals has performance of 3.5 second 0-60 with the same 390 range as the non-enhanced. I'd happily give up 0.5 seconds with the quads for an extra 70 miles of range.

I've only seen 1 S roaming around but plenty of Ts too

 

They do look pretty good. I do think that truck version does seem small for the price they are asking.

 

I’m starting to see more and more of these now. I just watched a review online of the R1S and it looks really good. The reviewer pointed out the disappointment of no power second or third row but I actually think that is a plus. The power rear seats in my old GX and my current X7 are so slow and confusing to use vs. my Durango that was manual. I can’t wait to test drive one of these, it could be my next SUV in a year, just not sure if I’m ready to go full EV just yet because we use our SUV for all of our road trips.

 

My 4Runner 3rd row is manual. I agree with you they are a plus over power as they are slow you are right. But, the majority of buyers would want power. Definitely an omission on Rivian

 

I don't mind that the R1S third row is manual, but I do think it's a miss that there isn't an easy strap/handle to raise the 3rd row seat back from the rear cargo opening.

 

Saw one yesterday. They look really cool in person and look really roomy

 

Agreed. I don't want to crawl into the trunk or go around to the second row to push the seats up. My Ody is manual but has a strap attached to to control the locks on the third row. Not high tech, but very convenient.

 

https://stories.rivian.com/q1-2023Good news coming out of Normal. They're going to need to ramp up their service center build out though. Lots of folks with early pre-orders but no SC can't take deliveries. I was invited to do a first drive out of the Brooklyn Service Center, but it's a 4 hour round trip for me. That ain't happening lol

 

Agreed with you both, my Durango also had a strap which made things very easy. I get that luxury buyer want power seats and I used to think the same way and thought when it wasn't standard anymore on the GX460 that it was a terrible move but when you see how easy it is to pull up the seat vs. waiting for the power seat to move into place it just makes it that much easier.

 

Not sure if it's been posted but pricing has been updated.

For motors, base price is duals, $5K for enhanced duals, and $8K for quads.

For batteries, base is standard pack, $6K for large pack, $16K for max pack.

Pricing for pre-price hike orders it's unclear, but according to this thread on reddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Rivian/comm..._max_packdual/)

Enhanced duals are $2.5K and max pack is $7K. Unclear what large pack and quads cost.

 

Did price go up?

 

Not since the last rise. Max pack and dual motors are new offerings

 

Was the Quad motor ever available with the Max pack?

 

Nope and they won't let you configure it that way either. Don't think they have space for both
