Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

[COdogman]

Welcome! It’s a great group of people here who eat, sleep and breath Rivian. Just in the last few weeks we have started to see forum members and other customers getting deliveries of their trucks, so it’s a very exciting time. Be glad you weren’t here on 3/1 when Rivian tried to raise prices on everyone, including those who have been waiting 4 years for their trucks. It got a little dark around here.

The R1T is just barely longer and a decent amount wider than a Toyota Tacoma. So if you could fit that in your garage you can fit your R1T.

Thanks COdogman,
I’ll measure the garage to make sure it’ll fit but I think I have a few inches to spare.

Welcome aboard! Leave your donations of blood electricity at the door

Correction: Drove it. ?.
Was also referring to trying to fit it in the garage. It might just fit with an inch or two to spare… hopefully.

I know someone who hung a tennis ball from the ceiling of the garage to aid in parking. The second the ball touched the windshield he would stop. Made it with inches to spare for the garage door every single time.

I bought one of these for my garage at my apartment complex. I only have a few inches to spare and it has an outlet on the side wall that I use to plug in the sensor. Works perfectly.

I wouldn't worry at all about service. If you choose to order one, it's going to be at least 2 years before you can get one. Their service model is they come to you, wherever you live in North America. If they can't fix it with their mobile service, they give you a loaner and take it to the service center themselves. Either way, you will have plenty of time to hear about service locations being built and how they execute over the next two years while you wait. And who knows, maybe the global supply chain will improve, their production will ramp sooner than projected, and you can get a vehicle sooner than 2 years. The pessimistic side of me says my lifelong desire to capture a picture of a flying pig has about an equal chance of that happening though.

Welcome! Lots of great info here, in sometimes excruciating detail.

First thing people will do is look at your signature line to check out your config, would love to see it if you’re comfortable w providing that info.

Welcome Jeff! Lots of great info.

Just a fair warning; there’s lots of bad info too.

Welcome! Curious to know when your expected delivery is. People are constantly asking me when would they expect delivery if they ordered today so would be good to know what recent orders are being quoted. Thanks!

Perfectly content, thanks. That said, I think the balance of my commentary in this forum has been comic relief; but as its directly relevant I’d add that the thread you’re complimenting, exists because Rivian is not forthcoming with information, or has otherwise provided misleading or confusing information to the point we rely on anonymous third parties for it.

Point being; everyone here has trust issues on this topic; and since the consummation of this interest is an $80,000 personal expense, I have no problem being accused of healthy skepticism.
