Go to Normal for a few days. Just hang out at Sam's, Menards, Home Depot, etc (anywhere on Veterans Parkway). You will run into a ton of employees and their R1T's. You might get lucky and find one that will let you do a test drive.
I bought a truck off an employee who had his R1T back in...
I was in Normal on Friday. We saw a silver R1S (assuming it was RJ). I was unable to catch up with it despite desperately trying (roads were still pretty bad from snowstorm). It is the first time I've seen one "in the wild" so was pretty cool. Unfortunately no pictures. I have to go back...
We bought our MY back in 9/20/20. I have a Cybertruck order as a placeholder.
In the past few weeks, I've been contacted by (2) local Tesla dealers to come in for a test drive. I was a little surprised they are reaching out given their backlog.
If Tesla can do it, why can't Rivian (with the...
Deer season is over and all the crops are harvested. Nothing else to really do here in Central IL. Hopefully everyone there is ready to build some trucks!
Our MY is 1.5 years old and we had service come out once. Scheduling on the app was easy, as well as communication via messaging. Compare this to calling a dealer, going through 2-3 people before actually talking to a service advisor. Repeat that process for anytime you have to change your...
The small amount of information I've heard...they had quite a few test/beta R1S built prior to Nov 15 with some being out in AZ at the proving grounds. The person I talked to said they preferred the handling off-road of the R1S due to the shorter wheelbase.
I was able to ride in a R1T and get...
I have about as much confidence of my Cybertruck order being fulfilled as my R1S order. I guess the Silverado EV probably falls in that same category lol.
I currently own two 2013 Chevy Volts that my kids drive. Each has over 130K on them. They can easily beat the EPA range when temps are above 40 degrees. I drove a 2012 and a 2016 Volt to nearly 100K with no issues. We've had a few minor repairs done on the 13's but my overall experience with...
I was walking out of the grocery store tonight and there was a launch green R1T cruising through. Gave them a thumbs up. Hopefully he didn't recognize me from the last time I saw it and was pointing it out to my kids. I now realize I'm going to have to play it cool from here on out and not point.
Heat pump is a possibility as it wasn't ready to go at launch. Who knows if it will be ready to go for the 2023's lol.
Like any product, running engineering changes will definitely happen. Suppliers change, design changes, etc.
We got our MY (09/2020) and there were already multiple changes...
