Were you able to make it to the Austin one? If so, how was it? No I spent the day at Pinballz for my 8-year old’s birthday. I technically could have made it over there in time but I was so exhausted that I took a nap instead.

Thanks. The one here in Austin today was at neighborhood goods as well.

Where’s the event happening? I’m going to be in Dallas next weekend for a wedding. I’ve already had a first mile drive but wouldn’t mind going and taking a look around.

I just checked my email and I ordered on 9/1/21

So it looks like changing to the large pack worked. I just got an e-mail to confirm my configuration. What's the typical timeline once the config is confirmed?

Looking at my e-mail, it looks like Rivian offered the binding contracts on Aug 10.

I have an Aug 21 preorder for a max pack. I had a demo drive today at my local service center and really loved the truck and don't want to wait 2 years to get one. Will switching it to a large get me one prior to 2024? Or should I just go buy on the used market? My thinking right now is to...

I’ve got an CKMA12 hard mounted and plumbed on my Wrangler and it’s a great compressor. I previously had the twin versions on my Land Cruiser. It was awesome too. They’re very well designed and certainly not cheap compressors. But they’re not going to run air tools because that’s not what...

Also about 2 minutes of googling would have told you this is a legit survey company that works with a lot of auto makers.

This doesn’t look like a scam to me. Why do you think it’s one? It just looks like a market research company that is surveying rivian owners either on rivian’s behalf or for another 3rd party. It links to a qualtrics survey which is a legit survey data collection platform. Scammers aren’t...

Guessing about $7k.

You have no idea how much data is being collected about you by every modern vehicle/manufacturer.

I’m down at our ranch this weekend. I’ve got this 50amp outlet (10-50?) for running a welder in the barn. Can I charge a rivian from it or do I need to get a 14-50 outlet installed?

Ha! Jokes on them. I’m wearing Arc’teryx.

Open a traditional IRA. Put $6k (post-tax) in it. Convert it to a Roth. Do that every year. Enjoy the tax free growth. Pretax $ in a 401/403 isn't relevant. A backdoor Roth is super-easy as long as you don't already have a traditional ira. It takes me about 2 minutes on vanguards site...

+1. Unless you have a sizable traditional IRA, you should be funding a backdoor Roth on Jan 1 each year.

The same goes for i20 between Dallas and birmingham. 600+ miles with no fast charging available. Hopefully that changes soon.

You're probably right. But I'm also willing to bet that higher income households are significantly over-represented as recipients of the current EV tax credits. I suspect "they" decided to draw a line in the sand and for whatever reason 400/800 is what they picked (which by the way is a weird...

It doesn’t have anything to do with environmental goals. Its about managing the cost of the incentives. At a certain income level, a $7500 tax credit doesn’t meaningfully move the needle. I’m in the very fortunate position that I can buy effectively any car I want. If I can get a tax credit...

I think Doug is going to really like it. He bought a new defender. He’s essentially the target market for Rivian.
