I was just in Carova a couple of weeks ago. I actually saw another R1T by the Currituck lighthouse, and I have only seen 5 total on the road. I have been out on the beach in the OBX and Cape Henlopen, DE and it handles great in the sand. The charging situation is rough (but doable), but you get...
I had EA chargers cut out on me 10 times today after delivering between 2 and 10 kwh. It happened several times in the morning at one location and even more times at two different locations in the afternoon. The last time was after using a stall that had successfully put ~40kwh into a Polestar...
I don’t live in the state full time but have already been on the beach at Cape Henlopen. Rivian was not in the state park’s system for transferring my surf fishing permit from my Explorer to my R1T.
How long should we expect the speaker to last? I used it when I took my 3-day old truck to the beach yesterday. it lasted 1-2 hours. Not exactly sure when it died, but it seems like it should last much longer…
To close the loop on this thread, I had a whirlwind experience. The guide missed the scheduled call on a Thursday (5/12) but it turns out there was a good reason. We made the call up the next Monday (5/16). I got the 8 step the next day, and the local service center contacted me to schedule...
I live so close to the Rockville, MD location that the delivery guy drove the truck to my house and took an Uber home. Hopefully the permanent location is that convenient.
I did, and my delivery guy said they were supposed to be deleted. Nothing terribly interesting, but it did give a peek behind the curtain at the Rockville, MD service center. That location is a temporary operation out of a former BMW dealership, and all the trucks are stored and prepped in a...
I had an appointment scheduled with my guide this morning, and she never called. She also hasn't responded to email or text, and when I called her it went straight to VM. Has this happened to anyone else?
Limestone R1T spotted in Cabin John, MD yesterday. I also drove by the Rockville location the other day and saw 3 rollbacks - first time I have ever seen three. Is that a sign of more deliveries to come or just a Rivian tease?
I drove by the Rockville location this afternoon. There were two R1T’s parked in front on the service road. The one in the back had what looked like jumper cables attached to something under the hood, and the cables snaked into the bed of the truck in front. There were also two what looked like...
The R1T with the showroom in the background might be Forest Green. I was in a hurry and didn't even have time to get out and take a closer look. There was one guy offloading them from the truck, and another guy walking around taking pix of them. The two that were still on the truck were...
I drove by today to refresh my memory. Although it is only 8 miles from my house I don't go up the Pike that often. There is a "for sale or lease" sign out front (https://hrretail.com/properties/1300-1396-rockville-pike/). If I had to guess, Rivian just closed on the sale or signed a lease, so...
8 miles from my house. I'm psyched! Closer than the Tesla shop!! The small building @ 1350 Rockville Pike (next to McDonalds) is the old BMW dealership. They recently abandoned that for the new BMW palace they built next door.
I just don't get Rivian's strategy/ignoring the DMV. Richmond first? The population of Richmond is ~225,000. There are over 6 million people in the DMV (6th largest in the US) and according to the 2010 census the DMV has 10 of the top 20 counties ranked by median household income. Teslas are...
The building next to DOT is a mess, and it would be huge lift to turn it into a showroom. It is right next to a Metro station but inconvenient to drive to because of limited parking. Someone else posted about the former Sears Auto Center in an out parcel at the Montgomery Mall in Bethesda. That...
