  1. It’s Tuesday… Any Invites Today [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / OFF TOPIC POSTS]

    Rivian has been stunningly good about meeting their stated deadlines.
  2. It’s Tuesday… Any Invites Today [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS / OFF TOPIC POSTS]

    I would assume that "August" means "by the end of August." Meaning that ordering will be availalble by August 31. Safer that way, and there's alwasy a chance I will be pleasantly suprised!
  3. Finance vs. Lease the R2 -- the math

    Be aware there are income limits to that. NO dedection if your income is over a certain amount.
  4. R2 Color Ranking

    I don't want white, black, or any shades of grey. That leaves these; Launch Green Catalina Cove Forest Green Borealis (all with Coastal Cloud)
  5. Interior roof cover for R2?

    During my test drive, the Rivian folks said there would be some sort of clip-in shade available soon. I am in Dallas, and so was interested to see that the window did seem to have a good tint on it from the factory.
  6. Charging connector installed outside - how to keep your power secure?

    i *think* so too. As I understand it, if you implement scheduled charging time, that restricts the wall charger operation to those times, yes? Then you can override that by saying “charge now” in the app? Maybe? Unclear. Maybe someone can confirm if it works that way… Another option is...
  7. Charging connector installed outside - how to keep your power secure?

    A simple solution would be an app that allows me to control what the connector does. A connector inside an ugly locked box is not simple or attractive. Not gonna do that. I want a software solution. Don’t like that option.
  8. Charging connector installed outside - how to keep your power secure?

    Does the app notify you when it is being used? Can you turn it off via the app?
  9. Charging connector installed outside - how to keep your power secure?

    Thanks. 1. Probably, but I'd like to secure it all the same. 2. Researching, but it looks like Emporia does. I'm surprised they don't all have some method. 3. You can turn off the Tesla connector remotely? Does the app notify you when it is being used? (This would be fine if true) 4. I've had...
  10. Finished R2 demo test drive? Share your review / impressions

    Enjoyed my test drive thoroughly. Ready to buy. One pedal driving will take a bit of getting used to, but by the end of my brief drive I was already getting comrfortable with it. Steering wheel is a little bit odd in shape, but quite easy to use. Handling was great, ride was smooth, acceration...
  11. Charging connector installed outside - how to keep your power secure?

    I was pretty much sold on the Tesla connector for the outside of my garage - BUT - then I read where it is always on. It cannot be restricted by VIN for NON-Tesla vehicles. While I think it unlikely that anyone would pull into my drievway for a charge while I am away, crazier things have...
  12. Finance vs. Lease the R2 -- the math

    Yes, you did explain. And assuming the very recent direction continues for a while, you might very well be justified in describing the price of gas as “tanking” at some point. However, your 5 year chart shows it to be a high price - one that is exceeded only back in peaks during a few months...
  13. Finance vs. Lease the R2 -- the math

    Unless somethign changes dramatically., I have decided I will just pay cash. My trade will cover a bunch - probably near half - and reduce my sales tax amount pretty siginficantly. Nothing else makes sense in my situation.
