As I am now one of the unlucky few on this thread who is still waiting on delivery (Jan '22 preorder), I need to finalize my config tomorrow to get a delivery window at the end of the month. I preordered blue, but am now waffling and feel the need to see all the colors in person again. Does...
Thanks for the suggestions. I’m in Arlington so it’s a pretty quick and easy trip to Chelsea for me. I was there back when they first opened, but worth another trip now that the lot is packed. I used the chat a few months ago as well, but might be worth another go. I’m a Jan 2022 preorder so I’m...
Curious if you recall seeing any trucks with 20” wheels? Just wondering how many they are delivering these days. Currently I’m holding out for 20s but getting more and more tempted to switch to 21s if it will expedite things in a significant way.
Took my daughter to central NY to visit colleges this weekend. We figured we’d see a few Rivians on Rt. 90 on a busy summer weekend. Saw a Forest Green on the way near Framingham and an LA Silver in Lee on the way back. However, we hit the jackpot when we spotted a trailer carrying 5 R1Ts (1...
Congrats! Good to hear that they are still delivering 20" ATs these days -- albeit with some wait. I've been toying with switching from blue to forest green so I'll be interested to see the timeline for your delivery.
Same here. I switched to 21s in the hopes of a miracle, but that is highly unlikely and if it happened I'd just be jumping the line in front of all you guys who deserve trucks before me. I'm resigned to getting mine in 2023 and plan to switch back to the 20s, which is what I wanted all along...
Must be another FG R1T with 21s among us.
Hope work settles down and good luck with the move.
Would be great to gather at some point later in the summer. Sadly, I likely won’t have my truck by then, but I’d be glad to ogle at everyone else’s.
That might have been @jwardell. I think he has the same config as you.
Up until yesterday, the only R1Ts I’ve seen were parked in the Chelsea lot. Saw my first in the wild yesterday on 93 south in NH driving back from VT. Saw those distinctive headlights coming up behind me in my rear view and...
Same here. Our primary residence is in MA so I assume that prevents me from registering in VT - but I admit I don’t know this for sure. Our current cars are registered in MA so our insurance carrier would probably question it as well. No doubt it would be cheaper in VT though. Most things are.
Funny, the way the photo is shot makes you look like you are towering over the truck when in real life it is a good foot or more taller than you (I know this because I am also 5'9" and was there yesterday sizing it up). Maybe you can blame the optics for the weight and hair...?
There was definitely one black in the lot. Can’t recall if it had 20s but almost all of them did. The one exception was the Rivian blue, which had 21s.
There were also a couple inside. I didn’t get a great look at those, but it’s possible there was another black there as well.
I was in Chelsea this afternoon and I think I remember seeing a few more FGs in the lot there. Maybe there’s still hope…
There were also several launch greens, 2 limestones, and one each of black, el cap, and Rivian blue plus several others inside including one or two silvers. Definitely looks...
Thanks for all the pics, @SomervilleR1T and @jose. I might have to take a drive over to Chelsea. Were they cool with you walking around the lot and perusing the inventory? I'd really like to see one in person and check out all the colors. Doubt I'll be getting a call anytime soon, but all the...
Congrats! Looks amazing. Love the forest green.
I’ll be curious to hear what kind of range you’re getting with the 21”s on the trips to VT. I’m still waffling between wheel sizes. Enjoy!
Good to hear some experiences from other EV owners in MA who make the weekend MA-VT pilgrimage. We go to Westmore in the heart of the NEK regularly in the warmer months and occasionally in the winter for skiing. Since I don't have a charger at our cabin, I have to charge my Model Y at least once...
Congrats! Great story. Awesome to finally have some R1Ts arriving in the Boston area...even if it is still a slow trickle at this point.
My daughter frantically called me this afternoon after she and my wife spotted a black R1T driving down Mass Ave in Arlington. Unfortunately, I wasn't with...
I'm primarily in Arlington, MA but try to spend as much time as possible in our cabin in the NEK of VT. Was just up there this past weekend and envious of all of you early preorder holders. Couldn't stop dreaming of plowing through the mud in a new Rivian. I'll be living vicariously through all...
