So what is considered "near" a Service center? The wife and I are wondering. I'm thinking we live near a Service Center and she's trying to crush my dreams by pointing out that it's clear across town....
Agreed. Speaking from experience, dirt/dust can really block off visibility... This includes rear facing cameras. The rear wiper is what allows you to see behind you in those conditions.
I've been planning to get an R2 ever since it was revealed. We would have an R1 if we could afford it... We've been cutting spending and saving up for the past two years just to afford the Launch Edition R2, and it's still a huge financial decision.
As for the Subaru (Toyota) EV offerings...
Haha, I do too, even though I don't have one yet. When I see a Rivian on the road, I get excited, smile and say "Hi Rivian buddy!" and my wife reminds me that no Rivian driver out there is going to notice/acknowledge me since I'm in a Subaru Forester... then I'm sad again.
The actual "place in line" wasn't really important to the point I was trying to make.The point was that it didn't matter how early I made a reservation because every R1 owner bumps me (and all other non-R1 owners) back in line.
I do appreciate the insight, but unless Tesla did the "priority"...
This is how it was explained to me by a Rivian rep at the Block party, and the Rivian AI on the site also describes it this way... So if somebody gets an R1 today and then reserves an R2, they bump my 3/7/24 reservation. I figure I'm one of the first in line for all the people without an R1 (got...
This! I looked at the all-weather mats offered by Rivian, and they don't come up on the sides like WeatherTech mats. I've had WeatherTech mats in all our vehicles for years now. Nothing else keeps the vehicle as clean.
The other accessory I'm waiting for is spacers for the suspension. The R2...
Configuration of choice here is a Launch Green Performance with 20" Black Sand AT.
I will still have to wait for the aftermarket to develop spacers for the suspension.
It will be replacing a lifted '17 Subaru Forester XT that goes off-roading frequently.
After seeing the colors in person, my choices have changed. Forest Green is by far the best, but I really don't want to wait until "late 2026" for it... but since I am not an R1 owner, my 3/7/24 reservation doesn't really mean much it seems. I was told that I'll be after all of them, so I might...
Going to this tomorrow. Glad to know they are going to have the colors I am interested in. I want Launch Green, but I'm not sure I $2000 want it. White is my backup choice so we'll see how they look in person.
