Hello. South East Valley Arizona here. I had reserved a Rivian Blue, Ocean Coast interior R1S with Adventure package. Made my reservation in Aug 2021.
Looks like I have a long wait to get my hands on the vehicle. Hope to see some great reviews from those who start receiving their vehicles in September.
I have enough time to make my decision, to pull my deposit. Looking at the product it seems very unlikely though.

Welcome to the forum @skitahoe, @Rivianer and @Peep.

Did anyone consider any other vehicles before deciding to go with an R1S?

Also, what is the public charging network like near you? Are there enough stations?

Hi @eHauler,

We own a Tesla Model S that we purchased in 2016. We certainly looked at getting a Model X to replace that but the combination of Tesla's choices around the interior of the vehicle (I'm not a fan of the minimalist layout of the Model 3/Y that they have carried over to the Model S/X as well as them forcing a new steering wheel format on us) and the poor service we've received lately from their service department has led us away from Tesla. Which is too bad, because we love our Model S. It is just starting to show it's age a bit.

We wanted to stay with electric and wanted an SUV or Crossover. I think the new generation of manufacturers (Rivian, Tesla, Lucid, etc) that treat the car like a modern appliance (over the air updates, adding software features, etc) have it right. The Fords, GMs, Audis, etc are making great cars that are hamstring by the unwillingness of the manufacturers to bring their processes into the 20th century.

All those things combined to lead us to the Rivian R1S. We're super excited about it and really hope it lives up to the expectations.

Sorry, regarding the other question about the charging networks. There are a lot here in the North Bay Area. Especially if Tesla really opens their system up.

I currently drive an Audi Q5 and my wife drives a 10-year-old Lexus sedan. We are thinking about selling the Lexus (or keep it around if we can't get much for it) and my wife will drive the Q5 when we take delivery of the R1S.

  • I have a deposit on a Cybertruck, however the R1S may change my mind.
  • Just made the cut for the DSP with a 9/24/21 reservation. That may be the best timing of all, since I am in no rush for the R1S. I’ll just keep my Suburban a little longer!
  • Great forum!!

Just got an email a few days ago for the Northern California First Drive event at the Sonoma Raceway. I made an appointment right away. So excited to finally see a Rivian vehicle in person, and actually drive one!

San Francisco East Bay…
Long time reservation holder, 1st day here

Preordered Feb 16, 2019
Launch Edition with Forest Edge interior

1st EV, but long time fan of EV development and solar power. Currently have 102 solar panels (29.3 kw DC power), and will soon add 16 more panels to cover future EV charging.

Purchased all 175 shares, and I’ve prepped my garage for the new addition. Nothing more to do before the May/June expected delivery, except read this newly discovered Rivian Owners Forum :)
