I believe they reversed the price change for preorder holders: "For anyone with a Rivian preorder as of the March 1 pricing announcement, your original configured price will be honored. If you canceled your preorder on or after March 1 and would like to reinstate it, we will restore your...

They have to change things around just to keep things "fresh". Sometimes it doesn't make a lot of sense.

Oh, I was just replying to @LoudMusic as he/she mentioned the R2/R3.

Yes, Rivian keeps most of their promises unlike Tesla.

The R2 seems to be better than the MY in almost every way (radar, USS, stalks, dual screens, off-road capability, suspension, etc.).

Look at the Rivian page. No deception when pricing out their EVs. It doesn't have to be this way.

I love my USS. In my experience has been very accurate for most objects (down to the inch) at the level of the sensor. I do not rely on it for curbs. Tesla Vision still appears to be unreliable after all these years.

Pay $20-30k more for the same level of service/quality plus have more parts to break down? This is why I am hesitant to upgrade to a S/X. Or maybe the S/X issues are exaggerated (shuddering, axle/camber, falcon door issues, etc.)?

Buy again so I can roll the dice on initial quality and potentially lose features (USS, stalks, gear shifter, etc.)? Looking forward to the Rivian R2.

I'm not sure it's much of an upgrade when I am losing USS, turn-stalks, and gear-stalks. Tesla doesn't make this easy.

This is why I am hesitant to upgrade to a MS/MX. When you are paying for a 80k+ car, you would think there would be a different level of quality and service. Is Rivian or Lucid better? I don't know what to get anymore after my current 2021 MY (which has zero issues so far).

This happens to me every now and then after a software update. Here are the steps: 1. Close Tesla App 2. Restart Phone 3. Open Tesla App It has to be in that order or it will not work. Good luck.

Will take 2 years to fix that one

The trick to keeping smells at bay is to flush out the A/C with fan only after each drive. After 3 years of ownership, my cabin air filters still look brand new.

No guarantee, but most people use Superchargers only on long distance trips which may be a few times a year. I believe Rivian has chargers and other 3rd parties are starting to step up as well.
