They are different I understand.

Take time and visit Chicago and St. Louis, all within a couple hours of Normal for day trips Plenty to see and do especially with all the local festivals toward late spring to early fall. I will take this over the traffic of people and cars in the "big" city. The UofI Engineering open house...

Is there a significant difference between XPEL and other products that are carbon or ceramic film? There is an XPEL dealer/installer right in my area and getting ready to request quotes from local film installers when I it's my turn, which is hope is SOON(tm). I figured the installer was...

In regards to the "beta tester" argument, not sure unbalanced wheels is a valid excuse. NOTHING new or noval for Rivian in terms of having to install a tire that is balanced. Understand the excuse for some new system in the vehicle that has not been done so far. Alignment with a unique body...

LE included some free upgrades, the exclusive LG color and a LE badge inside the vehicle.

Rivian Customer Service would be wise to understand Customer Experience (CX). Jan '21 deposit. I talked to them to ask what process is to get a Rivian Guide, they said I'd get one closer to my delivery window (currently like a lot of others in the July-September '23 window). I asked if I...

More and more integration = Android Auto (I can hope)

I now see the other options, they are just grouped together in different categories. I actually don't mind the shift in the schedule to the right as it'll let us see more EV options. Maybe just me, but with more EVs, price could trend down. The longer the delay, the less the Rivian seems to...

Not trying to cause controversy, but the delta in cost is significant between the F-150 Lightning and the R1T. Even fully loaded, I'm guessing it will be less than the R1T. If I'm Rivian or Cybertruck, the longer this goes, I think the pricing looks less attractive. Rivian needs to start...

Just give us option to pick up the vehicle. They can even charge extra for factory pickup. I've driven by the factory multiple times and would love to see the inside in person. Also love the idea of being drive a car from mile 0. Bloomington/Normal has a great regional airport. Amtrak...

Unless something dramatic occurs (bankruptcy, HUGE spike in price, horrible performance at launch), we are all in on the R1S. We traded in the Minivan a couple weeks back and got a PHEV to tide us over until the R1S is ready and learning more about EV while having gas as backup. The next car...

Great for Central Illinois. Looking forward to visiting the plant to pick up the new Rivian.

Great move on Rivian's part to invest in the area. As UoI has a strong engineering program, I suspect it does not hurt to be invested is a good source for future talent. The UI Covid test, which have worked well for the students and staff at UI who have been utilizing it since last summer...

Prediction (and wishful thinking on my part), they'll announce a factory tour and pickup experience for free or some nominal "processing" cost.

is the "chip" shortage or for that matter any of the supply chain disruptions due to COVID going to affect delivery date? After having waited almost 8 years for our Elio (at this point I think the $$$ is down the toliet) it always concerns me that the date could keep shifting to the right.

My wife and I are looking at it like an electric Range Rover. It might be capable of going off road, but don't expect to ever go there.. We are getting it to replace our Odyssey minivan to be used to transport dogs, kids and grocery shopping. We have a diesel pickup that is and will continue...

Not lucky enough to be a LE reservation holder, but I think they should extend that option to the early adapters OR just add some premium charge to do the some Bloomington/Normal pick up experience that includes hotel, tour, pick up from the airport, etc.. I live 45 minutes away from the...

Live 45 minutes from the factory so hope they allow factory pickup as it'll take me about 2 hours more of driving to pick up from their closest retail location in Chicago.
