I'm actually happy to answer that. The IRS created that document to help people like you who can't understand the language of the bill. That document doesn't add to or change the law. it just summarizes some of the key points in a way for people like you to understand. All of that info from...

They clearly have already confirmed my statement. You are making up some arbitrary deadline after which time the IRS may or may not honor contracts. The bill and the IRS info I posted both say you can continue to use the old tax rebate with a binding contract signed prior to August 16th...

You didn't read the bill (I can't blame you). But here is the relevant info. The bill clearly states exactly what I said. The binding contract provision is written directly into the bill. No amount of IRS shenanigans can take it out. Additionally, here is the preliminary guidance from the...

The IRS cannot close the loophole. It's not even a loophole. It's included in the bill as written and approved by Congress and signed by the president. Only a new law could remove it. The only part somewhat up in the air is whether or not the Rivian contract will meet the criteria yet to be...

Did you sign the "binding contract." If so, why would the date matter? The binding contract was implemented by Rivian to protect your access to the old tax rebate.

Recent Android update seems to be causing issues for some people. On a side note... What's up with this? There seem to be a lot of guides that ghost their customers after delivery. I recognize Rivian is trying to hire more employees as they grow, but this is an essential part of their...

You see the confusion... Right? You did post a picture of some random person with their feet propped up watching the production line. Without any actual caption, people naturally assumed it was you in the picture.

Bluecruise gets mixed reviews, but it really works well for me. The new features are going to make a good product even better. I'm optimistic Rivian will catch up some day, but Rivian's progress with driver assistance features is very slow. Heck, Rivian has been bragging about Driver+ being a...

Did they though? Somebody with the same configuration claimed to have ordered earlier, but that was debunked after people pointed out at least one difference in the configuration. Do you have info that perhaps wasn't posted in that thread?

It's hard to makes these sorts of predictions, but the one thing I do know is that all the experiences people keep posting about their R1T order and delivery experiences are not exactly indicative of what will happen with R1S deliveries. They are completely separate vehicles with different...

The point of sale credit starts in 2024. Although it's very possible the Rivian binding contracts are declared invalid according to the final IRS rules as you mentioned, as long as the contracts are considered valid the income limits and MSRP limits won't affect the ability to claim the tax...

While that's technically correct... You don't need the binding contract. You can get the credit with or without the binding contract. I don't think that's correct. The entire purpose of the binding contract was to allow people to claim the credit in future years as if they had purchased it in...

I think the long wait times for Rivians are preventing a lot of people from ordering. Once the order to delivery time is down to 6 months or less, I think more people will consider Rivians. It might take years. Until then, I wouldn't expect new orders to really take off. Most people aren't...

I'm curious what you mean by this. I don't own either truck since I'm waiting on an R1S, but it seems like the Lightning has much more storage based on the larger frunk, larger bed, and more space under the back seat. The rear seats in the Lightning fold up creating a massive storage area if...

There is a big range of vampire drain reported here. Even with GG off and PAAK off at home, some people lose nearly 0 miles overnight and others lose several. It would be nice if people would post which software version/update they currently have. That would make it easier to compare apples to...

These are legit complaints. I acknowledge your point about this being hashed out over and over again though. Maybe that's just a sign that these are more than minor inconveniences that need to get addressed by Rivian in some way going forward.

That's typical for an EV. Most people don't cause to 100% at DC fast chargers unless they cannot complete their trip any other way. You will save time if you change you mindset and charge more frequently but for shorter amounts of time. Try charging to 80% or perhaps a little higher. This will...

Years. I don't see this changing until after the wait list is shortened to just a few months. Since you reserved at the original price, that pretty much ensures you can sell for a small profit even if demand subsides. Somebody wanting a quad motor R1T has the option of reserving one now for a...

I can't pick just one. I'm really excited for the R1S, but there are some obvious misses. Android auto Cupholders Android auto Glove box Running boards Android auto 2nd row captains seats Lane centering that works on unmapped roads AC vents that can be adjusted manually. WTF Rivian? Technology...

As an impartial 3rd party here, neither affiliated with Rivian nor the owner of the vehicle in question... I have no problem blaming the owner. You can't seriously think the roof is designed to support humans walking or laying on it, can you? Does Rivian really need a sign stating "Don't walk...
