Curious to see how these locations deal with the onslaught of EVs in the nearish future. I was in Leavenworth over the holiday and was blown away by the number of Teslas in line for the wall of superchargers in the village.
I’ve never needed 1000+ lbs of payload, nor would I ever ever tow a horse trailer (I’m towing a raft, that’s it). So this writer clearly doesn’t understand that this isn’t marketed as a work truck. One look at any promotional material from the manufacturer demonstrates that. If you’re buying...
I’ve always found that the fishtailing in pickup trucks is related to the little weight over the rear axle (truck bed). I always solved this by adding in sandbags to the back of my trucks at the beginning of winter (this was when I lived in MT and snow was guaranteed). I imagine because of the...
I think realistically there will be more than 80k. That said, I think a lot of post-S1 reservation holders don’t realize how far away their deliveries are.
I mean, I literally live 5 minutes away from one of the few actually operating service centers and I’m not holding out hope that living in a primary market will push my deliver date up.
While I am excited to hear that they will be letting those of us Adventure package holders know when to expect our vehicles, I have to agree with "most people's wisdom" and tell you that I think you're absolutely crazy with your prediction. I want you to prove me wrong, though.
I need the max pack. I frequently do remote excursions and often times I’m towing a raft or drift boat. I’ll stick with it as I just don’t see getting mine until 2024 anyhow.
I would have kept my 4Runner for "adventure" purposes and bought a Taycan 4S (my Rivian build is ~$100k). I love my 4Runner and the R1T is the only thing I can really see sacrificing it for.
I agree, at the very least it will keep me from obsessing over when I may expect mine to arrive. I'd rather have a range than bombarding the forums/reddit looking at who is getting theirs and their numbers, etc.
I mean, I didn’t get my configuration in until late summer/early fall 2021, so I wouldn’t read into it too much at all. Only advantage I have is living so close to a service center that maaaaaybe I’ll see it sometime in 2023.
Literally got a form email from CS after submitting a question. It was so cheesy and felt totally detached. Something to the effect of, “You’ll be cruising down the streets of <insert delivery city> in your R1T in no time!”…
Agreed. I’d also rather have a truck that is well tested, debugged, and whose quality has been assured than something that is rushed as a panic to keep up short term appearances.
