I've switched from gas to induction in both of my houses. It's faster, quieter, more responsive, more precise, better air quality (matters indoors), and not affected by wind (matters when camping). Seems really nice not to have to worry about bringing fuel tanks on camping trips too. If you...

Option 1 is most compelling. Otherwise I might as well just buy separate components unrelated to the R1S and not bother with fitting it to the vehicle.

My Rivian charger shipped as soon as I was matched with a VIN. Arrived in 2 days. Installation was a couple of hours of work. It’s now installed and I still have a few weeks to go before my R1S is expected to be delivered. If your installation is simple, and you have an electrician that will...

This is all correct, but DCFCs aren't nearly as common/reliably available as gas stations. If there happens to be a working, available fast charger whenever you need to stop, then yes, a road trip in an EV isn't much different from one in an ICE. It's the need to plan around charging deserts...

Perhaps they meant EX90?

You said "Yeah, I'm not super confident in my guide's prediction.. he doesn't seem 100% sure and quite a few of his explanations don't totally add up." so it's clear that you knew the risks going in that it wasn't going to pan out. As for cutting the line, you said "my intention was not to cut...

In your other messages dating back to November, you express extreme skepticism about your guide's story. Now you're blaming him for you missing out on the tax credit. Sounds like you were really hoping he could come through for you and let you cut the line (and let's be real, you knew that's...

Sucks your guide told you that (they may have been wrong but not lying) but it's 100% the right thing to put you in line where your order date mandates. And I don't think "I didn't want to cut the line, I was just doing what my guide said" makes any sense. You knew your guide was letting you...

I’d be dialing every day until I got answers, R1S shop access, or both. As for my 2/2019 FE order, I matched on 1/22 and was told delivery would take 6-8 weeks. Unclear if my R1S has gotten on the train yet.

Well, I'm locked into the iOS ecosystem, unfortunately for these purposes.

It's funny to answer the wireless charging pad question. It's an extremely important feature and I will be paying extra for it, because the stock one apparently doesn't work and I'll need to replace the OEM version with a working one. May wait a few months for even more refined designs to come...

Laughably nonsensical and non responsive.

I am really curious how the guides handle the avalanche of "there's a service center near me already" emails that the BS messaging about this will elicit.

Then it seems like this is relatively good news: it's already February, so it should be coming this month or the next. I guess I'm confused about what you expected to get this month given that email. If anything, the refresh was more likely to be a worse delivery estimate than what you got.

What was the mid-January email? Was it an actual delivery estimate (do you have a guide/VIN?)? Or was it the standard mid-January “we are going to give you an updated timing estimate (not delivery, just a better guess about when we’ll deliver) at the end of this month” email?

You really know how to light up a room.

That’s a glacial pace

I got a VIN on 1/22 and am in the Bay Area too. Haven’t pestered my guide in a few days but last I heard the car was still in Normal.

That is a beautiful config, congrats!

When did they tell you that? Fall of 2020 (specifically, November) is when we were first able to configure and order our cars for delivery in the future. Why you’d have been relying on a years-old statement then, instead of Rivian’s then-current guidance, is beyond me. And regardless of what a...
