Got the 993’s for $140 after I saw a post last week about them adding this. it was the 1st time I heard of this site but see it’s either lightly used or 2nds. This was described as like new and I saw no defects or issues. Doesn’t come with a shoe box but I throw mine away so no big deal.

Took a couple months after ordering but quality feels great! Is also able to nest inside the pan upside down.

I was able to book a last minute reservation in the SF space today and was able to test drive it for around 30 min. For context, I've driven a 2024 Model 3 LR RWD (Highland) for about 1.5 years and also driven my friends R1S Dual Large, so I have some experience with a Rivian. Here are my detailed thoughts below and a comparison to both cars:

• I drove the Performance trim in Catalina Cove. The car looks very nice and very eye-catching from a distance. Even with the all black interior, it feels very airy inside and not claustrophobic.
• Compared to the R1S I drove, it feels much more nimble and easier to 1-pedal drive. I think because of the decreased weight, it feels lighter and less momentum when you come to a stop.
• The interior looks and feels nice. The storage space is ample, and I really like the MagSafe chargers. One oddity is the window switches have a subtle lag when using them, so it seems a bit finicky versus the instant response of my Model 3. The turn signal and gear shifter felt very nice to use.
• The infotainment feels quite fast, and only lagged for a brief second when pulling up a destination. It doesn't feel as smooth or refined as the Model 3, but that is to be expected since Rivian is a much younger company. For example, when you adjust your seat the screen pops up immediately asking if you want to save the position, but it didn't go away until I clicked outside of it to go back to the map.
• Having a screen in front of the steering wheel is very handy for directions, I really liked it instead of having just the 1 screen on the Tesla.
• The sound isn't as terrible as I thought it would be, but it's pretty bad for a $55K+ car. It sounds more tinny and has less depth than the Model 3 I have.
• The rear leg room is immense (you can see in my photo). I am 5'8" and easily had at least 6-8 inches of leg room.
• I love that the frunk is powered, you simply tap a button and then it unlatches and opens. The Model 3 is annoying in that you have to use the app and wait for it to unlatch, so I only use it for food (to avoid smells) and if I need the extra storage space when traveling.
• Going back to driving, the steering isn't as tight as the Model 3 and it feels more floaty, but it still feels very nice to drive and much less heavy than the R1S. You can tell when you make a turn how much you need to turn the wheel versus the Model 3, it takes a decent amount more.
• The ability to drop the rear glass is honestly amazing and makes the whole cabin feel so airy. It also makes looking out of the rearview mirror so clear haha.
• The square nature of the car makes it feel much more open and big compared to the Model 3. It also appears bigger than the R1S, probably because of just having two big rows versus 3 smaller rows.
• The haptic wheels don't feel as nice as I thought. I thought they would be metal and machined, but they feel like cheap coated plastic. The haptic feedback also doesn't match how it should be. For example on volume, moving the dial a couple notches makes the music go from quiet to blaring, versus it should be around 10-20 notches to do that (similar to the Model 3). I had no issues pushing it left and right or in and out when adjusting the steering and mirrors (since it's similar to the Model 3).

Overall, I really enjoyed it much more than the R1S I drove, but I think I prefer my Model 3 just a bit more. However, I felt really happy driving the car and am quite impressed with how far Rivian has come in just a couple years. I think the car is much better than the pre-Highland/pre-Juniper Models, but is around the same as the new Models but costs a bit more. I think at $58K it's a bit of a hard sell, especially since you have to pay extra for paint and the interior to white (the Model Y performance has free paint upgrades). I think in the low 50's is a decent deal and a good price to pay for the car.

Was visiting Italy with my wife and decided to stop by the Tudor shop on Pointe Vecchio to see if the watch was in stock and it was! very comfortable on the wrist and looks amazing in direct light.
