Don’t shoot the messenger. Just telling you how they handled it for me and some helpful conversations I had with them at a local showroom.

Have you been given a manual cover for free ‘in the interim’? Giving us one for free is in their playbook as to how to respond / make the crew who have incompatible VINs whole. FWIW I don’t think there’s any chance they come up with a workaround at this point, despite the awesome service crew...

Had a good chat with Mobile Service today about it. Ultimate advice was to be as loud as we can on the forums and Reddit so corporate gets the message about the frustration around how this is being handled for those of us where it isn’t compatible. From what they said, the issue itself seems...

Thank you! Much appreciated

Thank you for this, gives me hope too! I've just been through the SC scheduling, then told it's not compatible, then escalating and getting the door slammed shut on it being an option for me (19K VIN) in the future. You say the retrofit is coming - what specifically did you hear which leads you...

Agreed. For now I'm choosing to believe they've got a solid plan in place to look after all of us (because what else can you do at this point...). Fingers crossed!

There are folks across the internet noting they’ve spoken to service center teams today and they believe it’s retrofit capable. You’d have to believe it would be a very strange strategy for Rivian to have two versions of the PTC available for purchase - especially if one of those versions is...

Also in the PTC was removed from order, now waiting for it to be in the Gear Shop crew. Per Rivian Tracker, seems like there's good reason to be optimistic about this being available for my 2023 model with rails? "The good news? Rivian has confirmed that a retrofit option will be available for...

Perhaps, I don't think anyone knows for sure? Agreed it makes sense to be around the $3K mark, but in March they added it to the configurator for $500, so let's see. Price is one thing, but I'm mostly frustrated by the influencer post then complete silence. Why they elect to treat valued...

Hey everyone, Took delivery a year ago - elected to get the R1T without a PTC understanding from our guide that it can be purchased from the gear shop in the future. I've been following the updates - understanding the most folks with the Gen 1 PTC are getting them replaced, and folks are now...

I unpaused my order in early Nov when the retrofit powered tonneau news came out. Asked my guide to see if they could find a vehicle to our spec, which they did a few weeks later. Picked it up and thanksgiving, noticed when I got home that it had the Meridian Sound System and the 12V under dash...

Yeah, that rate is inclusive of the new member discount.

Awesome, cheers! I just spoke to them about the process - seems like the best they can offer as of 11/9 is 4.74% (so you snuck in before they went up!) That is still the best I've found, unless anyone else has anything better on the go? Cheers

Does anyone know if there's a minimum donation amount to be eligible to join FedChoice? 4.6% is great!

Thanks for this epic debate - really helpful insight. So if you assume I'm not going to put myself in a spot where I can slide sideways off a cliff here in Tahoe anytime soon (I have a flat driveway!), and I'm an experienced driver in the snow, and the price difference between DM and QM is...
