Lots of power but drives stiff and tech sucks

Overall a good car. No issues with the acceleration on the quad engine model which is actually not too bad on MPGe despite the size and weight. Not having apple car play sucks and the rivian app is not great. all of us (parents and kids) noticed that it is not super comfortable for long trips, it rides very stiff and the seats are super hard. On the plus side, one pedal driving is great, 360 camera works well, sound system is good. I would give it 5 stars if it was more comfortable and had apple car play. On short trips under 30 min you do not notice the comfort issue

The Rivian R1S Best has been a game changer for me. Its electric performance is impressive, handling both city streets and rugged trails with ease. Inside, it's spacious and comfortable, making every ride enjoyable. With its combination of practicality and advanced features, it's hands down the best vehicle I've ever owned.

Rivian R1S is a gem!

We really love this SUV, it checks all of the boxes! Great family car, can go anywhere off road or on. It has excellent utility, refinement and ruggedness on long trips or as a daily driver. We have a family of five so the third seat gives us plenty of room. Also the cargo space and frunk is such a great perk and gives you additional space. It's very comfortable, extremely fast and so much fun to drive. We have had Tahoe's, Ford Expedition's and Toyota 4runners and this car far outperforms all of them. Also the range our our quad R1S is over 300 miles which is a huge factor given how high gas prices have increased.
