April Fools! Mine says July, so here is hoping! Although I don't think time reserved will really be the major deciding factor that everyone thinks. I was pretty late reserving an R1, but received it earlier than even the most talked about influencers "skipping the line." Maybe just due to...

Not sure everyone is talking out the same thing (OP kneel mode vs changing ride hights), but did you try clicking the greyed out button? From the release notes: Enhanced Kneel Mode Getting in and out of your vehicle just got a whole lot smoother. We've redesigned Kneel Mode to be more...

As discussed earlier, that would only be true if there wasn't a ramp/limited volume or true if delivery volume is larger than leases ending soon. Even if delivery volume exceeds leases ending soon, it can only limit the pool of availability/volume for everyone else. In any case the wording...

Yes, that's what I chose and felt like I was getting de-prioritized for not having a lease that ends soon.

Love is blind!

Gotcha, I didn't realize that there are no Rivian leases ending soon! Hope is restored!

I would agree with you if production wasn't limited/ramping or if they didn't clearly call out considering of timing for leases expiring soon. I too believe existing R1 owners are prioritized and I am an early R1T VIN owner. But that doesn't change that R1 owners who having a lease ending...

It literally says "lease ending soon? We will consider that" ... That is clearly prioritizing leases ending soon. Whether someone has late lease or no lease doesn't prioritize them in that statement. If anything, it will create a "queue starving" effect where there will always be someones...

Dang! My daughter turned 16 and we were waiting to get my wife an R2 (so daughter could have her car) ... but if priority is going to lease holders and everyone else pushed back then it looks like there is no point in waiting and just buying my wife something else (we don't lease). Sucks...

I agree with you, getting Uber credits is poor customer service. That's said, it's the same as another EV company and pretty typical across brands from my experience. Getting a Rivian loaner is pretty rare for me, but I have ?almost? always gotten a rental. Because I got my R1T before there...

I set my expectations low with an early 2022 VIN, kept my old vehicle for a year assuming there would be teething issues, and I've had my fair share of issues. That said, it's Rivian Service that is the reason our next purchase (this year) will be another Rivian. The "other" major NA EV...

I am thinking about getting a ready ramp... Based on measurements it looks like the tailgate will still stick out about a foot? Or does it effectively extend the entire perimeter? You said it's fiddly to setup, is that just the first time? I need a ramp to load up kids' dirt bikes. Will it...

Someone could make a lot of money by making automotive air scent hangers and "cologne by Gary" for this forum of addicts. Make sure to include the requisite health warnings.

I am sure Rivian took inflation into account as they announced in 2024 that it had a target ship date of 2026. They weren't announcing a 2024 release/dollars. That said, they may not have expected other pricing challenges (tariffs, memory/components shortages, etc).
