  1. R1S Leasing Timeline?

    Asked my guide for clarification. They reiterated that I'd have to initiate a second order and lose the deposit on my pre-order to lease. Let us know if you have better luck
  2. R1S Leasing Timeline?

    I also asked for clarification. I bet there are a lot of us in this boat. Leasing gets me the $7500 that I'm otherwise locked out of
  3. R1S Leasing Timeline?

    That's interesting, mine said the exact opposite: that I couldn't lease with the current pre-order and would have to submit a new order from the shop to lease Let us know if you are successful leasing with your pre-order
  4. R1S Leasing Timeline?

    Leasing is only available for R1 shop vehichles without a pre-order at this time. If you have a pre-order, you can't lease yet
  5. R1S Leasing Timeline?

    Same, I'm ineligible for the federal rebate. Have my order on hold at the moment, but would lease tomorrow if it was available on R1S
  6. Rivian deposit refund refusal

    Just mention small claims court, and you may get your money back.
  7. R1S demand slowing down?

    Definitely true for me. I was 100% ready to buy at 3-4% rate, but already owning a nice low milage ICE and with the current rates, going to hold off. I would probably lease if they offer it on the R1S
  8. Rivian R1T leasing begins next week

    I'm very interested in leasing an R1S to get the federal credit, looking forward to see what this looks like for the T
  9. Matte wrap gang! Let's see photos of your matte Rivian R1T & R1S

    Hey, it's your car, you can do what you want to it ....
  10. Taking Rivian to a tire shop for alignment and tire rotation

    Rivian St. Louis shop just sent me an email quoting $500 for alignment and rotation. Is this for real? What have others paid?
  11. Rooftop tent storage solution for Rivian R1T

    I have a pneumatic lift cart from harbor freight that will raise to the tailgate height. Put tent on cart, jack it up, lay it down. You'd need a decent amount of upper body strength for this method, but it is fast and can be done alone
  12. Rivian R1S as a home power backup -- my experience

    I used my R1T to power my house for 4 days during a recent outage. It powered a freezer, refrigerator, lights, computer, and my whole house fan. Saw about 6% loss per day. I used extension cords, but next time I may wire it into the circuit breaker box for convenience. Or buy a whole house...
  13. Is it better to buy a new R1T or a used one with an Automatic Tonneau Cover?

    As a younger man, I drove an 8ft bed f150 for years and never thought about a tonneau cover. Now I have a wife and 2 kids. Automatic tonneau cover has been amazing for keeping all of the things that come with a family protected. Mine has worked flawlessly for nearly a year
  14. Electrical wiring for charger

    I ran 100 ft of 6/3 Copper wire in my 1993 built home last year. Wire was about $300. Took 2 hours. I'm a physician by trade, but my dad was an HVAC guy so I picked up a lot of skills working with him as a kid. Would not recommend working on a breaker box as an amateur diy guy. But anyone...
  15. Keeping crossbars on or off -- opinion?

    They interfere with normal bed usage, so I keep them off when not in use. Look silly and are a range hit on the cab
  16. Service just hosed up my Recall appointment

    Also hady tech no-show on Friday. I do have a big torque wrench, so I'll probably just do this myself for now, and still have them come later to re-do it for the record
  17. Non-Rivian rooftop tents

    That's way too long. It would be 40" past the rear crossbar and 25" beyond the tailgate. Roofnest condor XL will work per the manufacturer, but roofnest has a terrible reputation. I ended up with the x-cover 2. It's 6" too long technically, but I've just been supporting the rear floor on...
  18. With temperatures dropping is anyone else already noticing range losses?

    Bigger battery and less efficiency should help mitigate the relative cost of heating the cab compared to a Tesla or other small EV. I've been getting ~1.8 mi/kWh in the morning and 2.2 in the evening on a flat 160 mile roundtrip commute. Not sure why, could be colder mornings, 80mph
