Didn't delivery rate of Rivians pick up '23. If the Tesla -> Rivian transfer rate doesn't increase, I would assume the chart actually slows down as it get to Summer and Fall '23 deliveries.
For all we know, the Tesla production rate is to satisfy the GM demand while keeping Rivian and Ford...
Maybe it's just my opinion but these numbers don't seem that big, especially with the amount of pipeline in the system. Do you think this was the fastest they could have done this? There are many levers they could have pulled to manufacturer these things but for some reason, they only chose to...
From what was being said, the residuals were pretty high for Rivians. Pretty sure they were either bumping them up or something because they can’t possibly mess up that badly predicting the economy.
Made it in April, I think, with something super super minor but used it to hold the time in case something came up. The suspension droop issue was what ultimately made me bring it in, along with 5 other things. Also added on the tire rotation and alignment since I noticed the front were wearing...
Had an ICE pacifica before it got a flat and was able to switch to a NiroEV... Still frustated and still waiting for a tech 13 calendar days since dropoff.
I think this is how it's intended to work. At most car dealerships, this is how it goes unless they're waiting for a part from Germany for a newish model.
This is not an excuse for Rivian just accepting cars to sit on lots. It is possible to say "this appt is the earliest date" you can drop...
After service center drop off for the 1 corner sagging suspension issue + rotation/alignment, the idle time before a car actually starts getting diagnosed or worked on is way too long. I tried to ask the SC for multiple things so I can actually use the car I'm leasing, including for a small...
3 full days and they havent even touched it yet... sigh. I guess thats why they gave a 11 business day window. If I knew it was 2+ weeks, I wouldn't have scheduled it only 1.5 weeks from my road trip...
Also deferring, but Rivian has an annoying popup that pops up frequently telling you to update... Maybe I can take it off wifi when this starts rolling out and leave on LTE.
Once there's a feature that requires connectivity when a hotspot is NOT in the car, like remote gear guard, then I'll...
Put on a Thule Atlantis 1600 XT Roof Box on the rear 2 crossbars postitions for a 500 mile round trip up to the mountains. Surprisingly not much of a detriment to efficiency during the highway portions.
These things are being produced like they are rare artifacts... Advertising to someone buying today that they'll get a Tesla adapter in 2 years seems like a bit of misleading marketing.
