Inquiring. Got my dmv renewal paperwork along with the anticipated sticker shock. Kinda hurts.

Anyway, I noticed the vehicle (2026 R1S) is classified as a UT body type (utility). Is this correct? I did some reading online and see that can apply to the r1T because of the bed. But is this correct on the R1S? Haven’t found anything about the weight being a factor.

That being said, is this classification helping me or hurting me renewal cost-wise? Don’t have my own business, so hard to use it as a tax write off if it’s considered “commercial”.

Thanks

Hello. We have a few of the Arlo Pro cameras (bought when it included the free cloud recording). Also one indoor camera for which we paid 24/7 recording.

Randomly I got a charge on my credit card last month for $43 bucks from Arlo. Slipped my mind to inquire and then just now got a charge for $479!!!

Log into the account and see they’ve enrolled me into a “premium+24/7” plan. Never told me. I never opted into this. Nothing.

Feels terribly illegal.

WTF.

I remember there was a lot of commotion earlier about the cameras and their breach of promise to consumers who paid for lifetime cloud coverage. Was there some agreement that they can just change the plan without telling me? If I hit cancel, obviously I want my money back on this POS system.

Options? Advice? (Besides throw them into the trash)

Planning our first summer road trip with the family and debating whether to take the R1s or ICE vehicle. Have taken the Rivian on other treks with the fam and was really pleasurable, wifi hotspot etc (max pack helps). Had to charge 1-2 times which was the only downer (added about 45min to the drive; NACS capable so Superchargers).

We are looking at a drive in the summer through some pretty miserably hot parts of AZ. Prob 100F in the shade. Guess the road temps will be hot enough to fry an egg.

Should we be expecting a significant drop in range given the heat and the AC usage? Would suck to add another charging stop.

Along those lines, is charging going to also be significantly slower rates? Imagine temp management will be trying to keep the battery cool?

Imagine there’s some AZ or Texas folks who have experience with this stuff.

Anyone else bummed that they didn’t offer an electro chromatic dimming roof option to the r2? With that huge panel of glass and feeling the heat through the glass without it, it was a must have feature on my R1. Anyone hear discussion on the reason (just simplify build/cost?) and whether it could be added as a later feature?

Really bummed. And no, I think the sunshades are unattractive and kill the look. Def would have paid for it as an option or upgraded to a premium build.
