About 4 days ago, my uncle came over and we installed the black emblems from Abstract Ocean. He told me to let the truck sit in my climate controlled garage for the rest of the day because of rain and high humidity here so the glue sets.
Well the R1 is pretty much the only vehicle I'm ever in since my purchase in last year, We had to take my wife's Audi SQ5 Sportback prestige which was my former daily driver that I wanted to keep when I got my truck since I liked it and didn't want to get rid of it.
After having my R1 driving that thing was like a punishment. Its so much louder and less agile than my R1 I was honestly shocked. I know a large part of that is EV vs ICE not just Rivian but the two aren't even in the same league. That Audi is 80k too so its not like it is cheap crap but comparatively it is. My plan is to get my wife her i4 M50 so I don't have to drive that Audi anymore.
The road noise and engine lag alone make it miserable to drive compared to my truck. Not to mention no one pedal which really destresses a drive.
