@Michael_L_Rauch Sounds like it's time to schedule another demo drive.

[Richard @Richard_arch74]

@Michael_L_Rauch I was able to test the ADAS. Being a gen 1 R1S user I was amazed at the improvements over my R1S. I drove secondary roads with just center lane markings (no edge markings) and it did great! I can't wait until the ADAS stops at stop signs and traffic lights and turns on its own.

[Richard @Richard_arch74]

@Michael_L_Rauch Definitely agree with this one.

[Richard @Richard_arch74]

@R1Stephanie @Rivian I forgot to drive with just the drivers windows down (is the buffetting still there?)
I didn't drive with all the windows down, including the back window. Can you do that for me?

Loved the interview @JDVance. Hope you and your wife decide to run for President in 2028 along with @SecRubio. Who ever wins the primaries selects the other as VP. Source: CBS News https://t.co/CmSriQAXUi

@DissentFu Yet you blame Elon Musk and billionaires for your situation (as you describe it as a failure). Doesn't seem like you're taking your own advice.

[Richard @Richard_arch74]

@RivianTrackr @Michael_L_Rauch You must have a dual motor. Although the zippyness is very good in the R2 it's not as hippy as my Quad R1S😉 I agree on the interior being perfectly fine but not quite as premium as the R1S. Suspension is very good and I won't need running boards for my wife to get in and out.

@Suzierizzo1 I pray for your TDS stained souls. You wishing harm (lightning strikes) on those who YOU think are irredeemable is an abomination. Lord help you see the light.

@gandldrake @mike_poret @WassymBensaid @Rivian Yes, I heard about that. I can't remember a father's day reunion not being held during our lifetime. Do you know when the father's day reunion started?

[Richard @Richard_arch74]

@mike_poret Cool. See if the Riv will go faster in the 0-60 and if top end speed is higher (increased torque unlocked?).

[Richard @Richard_arch74]

@gandldrake @mike_poret @WassymBensaid @Rivian You're more than welcome to check it out. Late August. Early Sept is best case scenario🤞

[Richard @Richard_arch74]

@Michael_L_Rauch @pjcombss @Hilbe HaHa, that was my situation when buying the R1S. I wanted the Riv Blue she wanted the LA Silver. Guess who won.

[Richard @Richard_arch74]

@Michael_L_Rauch @pjcombss @Hilbe I see you're leaning away from the Catalina Cove too? Demo drove Catalina C yesterday and it was 😒Meh. Maybe Esker Silver?

[Richard @Richard_arch74]

@quartermiles @R1Stephanie @Rivian Now you tell me! After my demo drive.

[Richard @Richard_arch74]

@DomDoesMedia Yup, did it today😉

[Richard @Richard_arch74]

@itskyleconner No buffeting? Awesome! Buffett is annoying as heck, one of the few complaints I have with my R1S.

[Richard @Richard_arch74]

@DonohoeAlbert @omg_tesla I demo drove the R2 today. Doesn't drive like a truck. Suspension is better than my R1S. Better feel of the road than the R1S. Worked great hands free secondary roads with only center markings.

[Richard @Richard_arch74]

@ShaneLindblom @Rivian Depends on your storage requirements in back and if you feel you need that third row of seating. I have to say the storage area in the R2 is impressive. Tested today: 2 lazy boys, 2 suit cases, 2-27 gal storage bins, plus room for 2 large insulated food bags. Not to mention frunk

[Richard @Richard_arch74]

@Mikekantorski @240Vdaddy The most annoying thing for me is not having a place to hang your clothes rod🤨above the back seats.
