Me, yes! with free two day shipping ?…I cancelled my LE R1 because Rivian couldn’t/wouldn’t sell it to me. Hopefully this bodes well for the end of the traditional dealership model…

The Land Rover EVs- lots of talk but they also seem obsessed with FSD, so that will tie them up a bit...

You hit lots of the buzz words but that could have been written by our MSNBC ‘journalist’ Musk has demonstrated Twitter was censoring unfavored political candidates and points of view- Musk wants to see the platform open to different points if view… (Here come the ‘no politics’ cries…after...

Yah I’m sure Musk has gone from hero to zero for many of you since he’s no longer on your team politically…however he has said Tesla was once within hours of running out of capital. I’ve no crystal ball but work in FS and there’s good reason to believe there’s recession by Q2- a deep one where...

Wow- thanks for the nice wishes!- you have a nice community growing here!

Thanks. My wife loves loves loves our Defender and that was maybe part of the decision. LR invited me to on their customer advisory board- there’s lots of talk about their upcoming EVs so I’ll probably just wait for specs. Life changed so much for us since the Rivian order so a new vehicle is...

I just cancelled. My guide assigned in March, then I was caught in the limbo where they wouldn't provide an updated delivery window. I'm tired of the no information cheery one-liners from the guide and CS. They started to sound like sociopaths. I lost interest in flipping and figured the best...

Look at it this way- It looks like Rivian is going to dig in with the legal fight and so they won’t be selling to people in those states fighting the direct to consumer model any time soon. (Yah they say its because there’s no SC near you but…) That’s going to free up the line a bit…

I say just wait if your situation allows. There’s no more rush to be first- all the first impressions/ask me anything posts have been written. Do you lose pre-March pricing if you tell them you want to wait?

Yah not unique….and the vertical nature is way better than a little shelf in front of the headlamp lens. If you spend any time in alpine winter you know headlamp washers and wipers are just more things to cake up with ice, snert and snit (snert= snow + dirt, snit = what you think it is) I had...

Yah I’m in South Carolina purgatory too. One more disappointment from a company I had high hopes for…a Jan ‘23 date for a new date puts me in year 5… …I’m still keeping the ressie but only as an economic play. I’m on the Land Rover customer advisory and they are stirring about an offroad EV...

...haha! The term 'New Old Stock' might refer to some of the others sitting on the lot. Back in the day many of the manufacturers destroyed new cars more than a model year old...

I hear this...yah, since so few of us have trucks the forums have beat to death all the angles and frustrations Rivian has doled out to its preorders, but its also kind of dumb and more than a little frustrating to listen to recent preorders lecturing 2018s to be patient. Also, way back in the...

I’m a Jan ‘19 pre order and April/May delivery window, now with no new delivery window but an end of September window to get a new window. Can I have one if your updated windows ??

Yah the black leading edge is similar to Defender. I like it over paint since that leading edge receives a lot of abuse
