We traded in an Audi E-tron Premium Plus. So not the Prestige but the 2019 E-trons came pretty loaded as standard.
I only miss the wireless CarPlay. The drive was smoother and quieter, but the Rivian is much more sporty which I prefer. They have a similar level of interior quality, but the UI...
I believe the problem is he never received the email to reinstate his order, thus never clicked the link. His first contact with Rivian post cancelling his order was in April which was already past the reinstatement deadline.
So now it’s an argument of the “lost” email which is going to be very...
I'm sorry disneydad, but my guess is because you didn't reach out until April (past the March 20th deadline) they probably won't give you any benefit of the doubt. It is a bit strange you didn't receive that email but have received other emails from Rivian, but they have no obligation to honor...
Another vote for Photon Brothers. They install our 10.6kW system four years ago. I also had them pull the panels off and reinstall this spring when replacing our roof. They have been great to work with.
If you are limited in roof space, you may need to pay a little extra for higher output...
My mother-in-law and I had the idea to approach our city about installing DC fast chargers. She knew a member of city council, and had prior experience grant writing. I knew all of the technical details of charging, and all about the EV experience.
I pulled together a presentation that covered...
This looks like a list from most new car forums. I've had none of these issues with my R1T so far, just like I drove my Taycan 12k miles and only had one minor issue.
Here is a list of threads from the Taycan forum (which has had several major recalls). This is the first page with all being...
It's a roll of the dice now or in 12 months. They won't suddenly have Toyota level of quality by next year. I've had no serious issues with my truck, only minor things that will wait until I "need" to have a service visit.
If you wait, there is the risk they change pricing or something else...
94XX VIN.
No squeaks, panel gap, or paint issues.
Only issues I have so far is the tailgate doesn't automatically open, and the tonneau cover definitely sounds like it won't last long.
A couple of software bugs that were immediately fixed with a quick reset.
A close friend who owns a Model...
You could just as easily be upside down on the R1T in a year as the Model S. Used car prices are still insane and could collapse anytime. R1Ts with 15k miles could be selling for $70k in a year.
A couple of comments on temperature and wear ratings.
Here are the wear ratings for each tire:
20" 640
21" 600
22" 500
Based on the wear rating alone, the 20" should last the longest. However as mentioned above the 20" have a "B" temp rating, which means it won't perform as well in high...
This may turn out to be bigger than many realize. It could be a perfect cash cow for Rivian to simply provide electric Van skate boards to companies like Mercedes. I'm all for it if it helps provide cash to pursue other vehicles.
It also gives Rivian access to the European market which is huge.
The 20" A/T wheels in black look amazing in person. The pictures on the site don't do them justice. It really suites the adventure look.
The 22" wheels look more like a "street" setup, but my wife really loves them and wants those for our R1S.
The biggest factors are range, street performance...
They have already delivered more vehicles than DeLorean and Fisker combined. They also have a huge brand name at the moment. If they were to go bankrupt it would be in several years after they burned through their $18B in cash and aren't able to borrow or sell more shares for some reason. At...
Maybe the market is finally healing.
Still pretty crazy to see someone pay $35k over ($130k - new price of R1S). Based on the R1T we all know these will sell for $100k or less in the next 6 months. You really need to have play money to pay $35k to be one of the first.
