      ​@MoneyShift good stuff. I'm curious of the miles per Kw. Can I ask you to charge up to 80 to 90% and drive as you do for a day or 3 and below 25% or less. Then top back up to original starting SOC and calculate miles driven from Kw added. That will tell me the efficiency. My 2022 X gets a consistent 2.7 miles but the trip logs shows 3.1 miles which is only power to wheels

    Can you tell me if the super-small magnet door speakers are the same on all trim levels of Maverick? I'm starting to think the B&O system only adds an unnecessary center channel speaker and an inaudible 6x9" "subwoofer" behind the rear seats. My door speakers rattle on bass heavy tracks, and seem to put out far more bass than the "subwoofer".

  • @d5kenn

    Interesting point about the brake pedal. I've not noticed that on my 2025, mainly because regen typically brings the car to a full stop if I time/feather it right. But if I need to quickly hit the brake, I would expect the pedal to be in the "ready/idle" position consistently, so I could see that being partially-depressed may cause some people to feel like they can't rely on muscle memory as well in operating the brakes.

    Love my Y, but interested……..

    • @MoneyShift
      @MoneyShift 3 дні тому

      I have had a Y, and here is my take on the comparison. The Model Y doesnt actually have much more room than a Model 3. While it is taller than 3, you cant really fit much more unless you stand things up which can get awkward. In comparison to the R1S, the 3rd row seating in the Y is also miniscule. That said, it is also a lot cheaper, so it has that going for it. The Model Y will drive more sporty, with a more aggressive throttle, and slightly better steering, but the R1S will be cushier, and a lot more comfortable. Ultimately the decision is yours, both are good vehicles, but my preference lies with the R1S! Should you feel compelled to buy, my referral code gives you a $750 gift card to use on accessories and free charging at RAN for a long time!

    Been owning one since last week, and already got the .47 update. I wholeheartedly agree with the things you like about it. I am replacing a 4runner limited which I loved so much. This thing is in another league and so incredibly well put together. For me wipers are fine and auto lock/unlock has worked flawlessly. Agree on the load floor. Had to put a bit of extra effort yesterday loading a 120 lb box where I had to lift it over the folded 3rd row lip. Still, the amount of space you get is incredible - even when the 3rd row is up. Kids love this vehicle! Premium audio is good, specially in the mids and highs, the lower end needs a bit more tuning. Hope they keep improving it. The door thud when closing feels a bit less premium compared to the 4runner for me, but minor detail. Looking forward to some great adventures with this!

    I liked going on a drive with you. Thanks. However I’ve been on the fence about buying. I prefer the R1S to the R1T and I’ve driven both on test drives. But the designers and marketing/pricing people at Rivian have complicated my decision through evil pricing stratification. Let me explain. The base model with the max battery appeals to me, but as you said it isn’t cheap out of the chute. But here’s where I derail. I want the premium sound system. I want the opaque roof on/off. I think the blackout look is awesome. I like white paint. I like the black wheels. But then I’m close to the Tri model. Aaaarrrrgggghhhh. Did you lease or buy? I may lease and then buy out later to try to get the EV credit (if it’s still around!). Advice?

    Trying to decide between a 2022 N and a 2022 N line w AWD. I work in healthcare so getting to work is a requirement. I also live in MA. We don’t get as much snow as we used to but I’m afraid of only having FWD. also it’s a pain to have to change the tires per season since it doesn’t have AWD. Thoughts?

    • @MoneyShift
      @MoneyShift 7 днів тому

      It is ultimately your call, but here is my take. The N Line AWD, and Kona N, while sharing a letter, are very different. The N is hardcore. In stock form it is bumpy, loud, aggressive, and a ton of fun. The N line is softcore, LOOKS the part, but is a little sluggish by comparison (especially after driving a N back to back). Given the option, if I had to do it again I would still choose N. Give your situation I would do 1 of 2 things. 1. Buy the Kona N, and get a dedicated set of snow tires. These snow tires would only be used in the winter, would already be balanced, and have TPMS so it would be an easy swap every year. Not to tedious. Ensures with some caution, barring FEET of snow being on the ground, that you would still get to work, and you preserve the life of both sets of tires by reducing the amountof mileage needed on them 2. Buy something AWD that is just as fun as the N. In this corner, if you still want ultimate safety and being able to crush any weather you still really need snow tires, but a WRX in manual, or a Golf R in automatic, are great machines. With snow tires can chew through the white stuff no problem, and have a good time while doing it. In the Golf R's case it can be a little more expensive than the Kona N, and the WRX really is only worth getting in manual so if auto is a must I would shy away. Good luck with your choice!

While I love the car, here are my top must fixes: 1) memory seat seats 2) passenger power seat 3) provide the option for Ricardo racing seats 4) provide an interior colour choice don’t force it on us 5) rear windshield wiper. If you live in Canada or anywhere snowy you’ll understand. 6) home link in the rearview mirror. At least give me that option to purchase it. 7) the main menu being only in black-and-white is ridiculous 8) first gear is too short. Makes the launches feel slow.
