Can I ask you to do a 80% test? Charge to 80%, drive as you do for a day or 3 and below 25%. Note the miles you drove since 80%. Top back up to 80% and calculate the miles per Kw. That is a true gauge showing all the behind the screen battery drains. I have an offer to buy the R1S for $91k but I don't want to trade for a Kw hog. Thanks!

Thanks for this excellent review--seems like Rivian collectively made a lot of meaningful changes, and since you are a Gen 1 owner, your experience with this Gen 2 really carries a lot of weight. Wish I could afford a Gen R1S, but I do have a R2 reservation, so hopefully I'll be part of the Rivian family before too long.

Your very welcome. They are not inexpensive vehicles. I think the R2 will be for Rivian what the Model 3 & Y were for Tesla.

We got our R1S for $75k with the quad motors and we are extremely happy with it. Tech improvements will always be happening and Driver+ is more than what we’ll ever need. I’m hoping R2 will bring a lot of new customers in the fold.

Yes both ours are Gen1 too. R2 will be huge for Rivian. We have an R2 reservation in 😎

I would love to see Rivina survive. As Rivian matures, I expect their pricing to be where the average person can afford one? $80k starting is high. I would buy a Rivian, but I would never consider buying a F-150 Lightning 👈🏾

I think Rivian is well positioned but of course nothing is guaranteed. The R2 and R3 vehicles will be the mass market offerings starting in 2026. Right now the R1 is their flagship and while they lowered starting prices slightly to 70k for R1T and 75k for R1S ..like you said....they are still very expensive vehicles. They do offer a lot of value for the money though.

I’m in the market for an SUV for my family of 4. I’m crossed between a low mileage 2023/2024 R1S Quad Large Pack at about $75k and a 2025 Dual Max Pack between $96k-$100k. Do you think the refresh is worth the $25k difference between those two specs even if it’s moving from a Quad to Dual? Also considering Model X and a Lexus GX.

@DirtyBeemer1 4 ай бұрын

I’m in the exact situation as you except fam of 5. Looking at all the same cars as you. As a Tesla lover, don’t bother with the X. The space is not an SUV

@MidnightRunISF 4 ай бұрын

@@DirtyBeemer1 We did notice the X isn’t as big but it’s not a huge issue for us. My girls are 1 and 3, so they’d go in the captain chairs and we could keep the rear seats up or down depending on the circumstance. My wife loves the utility of the Falcon wing doors given our girls age. I’m on the list for a GX. Love it but hate the gas mileage and the rear storage with the third row up.

Well the price of Gen1 is very attractive as are the lease deals. I think it depends on what is important to you. The big changes in Gen2 are the ride less noisy and less harsh (not by a huge amount though), you get more advanced driver assist (with software updates and there will be a subscription fee), Max pack gives you a bit more range, dual motor is slightly more efficient. One has to decide if those newer features are worth the extra cost of Gen2 over a remaining Gen1. If you really want gen 2. You could also go with the large pack which brings the cost down a bit and has an estimated 330 mi of range.

Ehh, I’ve had the chance to look at multiple Gen 2s the doors definitely feel cheaper, way too light and lack the thunk of Gen 1. If I had kids I’d probably prefer them given how hard Gen 1s are too close, but I don’t and love the heft, makes it feel very premium. I really loathe the electronic door releases. Rivian’s implementation is as good as it gets but it’s still not great. Otherwise, I think Gen 2 has some nice refinements but it’s so much more expensive than my Gen 1 quad there’s zero chance I’m upgrading anytime soon. As you mentioned autonomy is the biggest gap, they’re also back porting some of the noise fixes to Gen 1 for free so it’s just a steep hill. I think I would try to lease a Gen 1 if I were in the market then buy Gen 2.5 after it makes the switch to NACS. They are better but the value for the money of Gen 1 vehicles is way higher.

It’s so crazy how much louder the climate is in these rivians. Demo’d one yesterday and the AC sucked very bad. LOUD

It's definitely loud but I can't say it sucks. It's the best AC I've ever had in any vehicle. Yes, it's loud, I'd give you that, but getting the cabin conditioned in less then 5 minutes in the AZ heat, is amazing.

Gen 1 had more features. You're actually downgrading if you're going from a 2022 R1S to a 2025 R1S base. No air compressor, no subwoofer, no wood grain in the interior, cheaper floor mats, cheaper-looking pedals, no key fob etc' etc' etc'..... You get auto lane changing and better cameras. Cost more, Gives you less.

To be honest, if you compare the standard pack, gen 1 I think uses an NCM battery and gen 2 uses an LFP battery, so you get possibly better battery longevity with that, and you can charge it to 100% without worrying so much about degredation.
