Thank you for confirming this. It would be a staggering design oversight if you had to take off the crossbars and whatever was on top of them to get to the tire. If you had a RTT, that would be impossible in many situations.
I would sign a purchase agreement in a heartbeat and forfeit any chance of recovering my deposit if it meant locking in the 2021 rebate. The options I've picked that pushed my delivery estimate to 2023 just aren't worth losing out on a $7500 rebate. To me anyway. I'm not a lawyer but the way you...
I recently changed my configuration from Max Pack to Large with the hope that I could advance my delivery to this year. I'm a September 2021 R1T preorder with a 2H 2023 delivery window. I know some folks with similar preorder dates who ordered Large Pack R1Ts are starting to see their trucks but...
Sounds like victim blaming. Guy has a legitimate gripe about charger access and reliability. RAN is well behind schedule and Max Pack is vaporware. You will still find people in denial about EA reliability, etc. If he listened to the wrong people, it's easy to see someone getting the wrong idea...
As September 21 preorder, I'm really pulling for you to take delivery this year. I hope I can be right behind you. If this bill passes, I hope that Rivian will let anyone with a late 22 delivery window the opportunity to sign purchase agreement before the year is out so we can still get the tax...
On page 387 of the bill, it looks like they're offering a $4k rebate when you buy a used electric vehicle that costs less than $25k. Get ready for the market price of every cheap EV to jump if they all come with a huge rebate. I'm going to lose my $7.5k rebate on the R1T but the value of my old...
Where I live, you're looking at about $10k for tax and registration on a Max Pack at current MSRP. Buying a R1T now and paying all the fees just to turn around and sell it in two years to pay another $10k in fees would sour the whole experience for me. In California, you can't deduct the value...
This is how I felt until my First Mile drive yesterday. The thought of waiting at least another year and a half for delivery so I can get a Max Pack and the other options you mentioned doesn't sound so great right now compared to a delivery this year if I take 21's and the large pack. I wish we...
Pretty sure the guy who hosted my first mile said that changing my configuration online wouldn't matter but he could, "put a note on my account that I was open to switching." Your suggestion makes sense to me though and I don't see how it could hurt. I assume you can change your configuration...
When was your initial reservation? I did my First Mile drive today and if I could get access to the shop, I’d drop my Max Pack reservation. MY BODY IS READY.
With the crossbars attached and the tent raised as far as it will go, how far down from the ceiling is the lowest point? I have a high ceiling in my garage and I’m curious if this will fit above my raised garage door or if I have to mount it further back behind where the door rolls up. I plan of...
I wish you the best but it sounds like a mixup. We're a long way from 1H 2023 and Rivian hasn't even updated the website with final specs on the Max Pack. It would be awesome if you're the first though.
No personal experience but have a look at what Sandy Munroe did with the road tires on an off road course. I was going to go with the a/t tires but after seeing what the 21s can do, I can’t imagining needing more tire. I think I’d rather have the additional range. I’ll just make sure to carry a...
Rivian says that the new in-house motor is for dual and quad motor configurations. See page 5 of the shareholder letter.
I agree that they’ve intended to release the Max Pack for a long time but that doesn’t mean they finished development or have what they need to go into production. They...
The purpose of the switch to in house motors is cost savings so all the more reason to delay if they are concerned with margins on early preorders. Even taking inflation into account, the redesign and increased volume should make the new trucks less expensive to manufacture. It better. I’d wager...
