That would be great if someone can confirm how that step works. How long has it been since you placed your "order" on the shopify site for your demo truck? I ended up "locking in" the lower price that was showing on my portal earlier today because I got sick of waiting for my Internal Sales...

Thanks for putting these Nittos on my radar. It's great to hear that there are some more efficient A/T options than stock Pirellis out there. I know the Falkens and Baja Bosses are a whole different animal (on the opposite spectrum of the A/T market from a weight, durability, off-road...

Have you had a chance to run these off-road or in mud, dirt roads, or snow? How do you think these compare to something like the Falken Wildpeak AT3W or Baja Boss A/T for true off-road? My dad's R1T with 18k miles has gotten very loud. He is looking for a replacement ASAP, so I've been trying...

Current situation in Virginia: Demo order confirmed 3/18 Customer Service ticket opened given the statement on demo vehicles not being able to register in VA I get a call from Sales rep this morning stating they cannot sell to me in VA but will check with manager on this use case, awaiting call...

It why won’t they lease vehicles in VT?? ?

I'm glad to hear that. In spite of the length of my post and the frustration I'm communicating, I think I have actually been a low-maintenance customer, too. I did ask to see photos of the actual truck, but that was only because the vehicle page had been removed after I clicked "buy now," and in...

tl;dr - If Rivian wants to succeed, I think they need to overhaul how they sell their vehicles! I'm a motivated buyer (purchasing for a business), with money lined up—it shouldn't be this hard to buy the dang thing ? It's one thing when demand is high and supply is short, but all things point to...

Thanks! While I wish I had snagged one of the rew R1Ss on the demo page, I'm excited for this truck once I get through the purchase process. Hopefully, it will arrive just in time for our atrociously muddy springtime back roads here in VT to really let loose. I wrote this a few posts back...

Yes. They will be moving it from Chicago to Chelsea and I’m pretty sure my sales person said it was included in the price. There is an $1,800 “destination fee,” which I’m pretty sure I would pay even if I picked it up in Chicago anyways (my sales guy wasn’t clear on this, I’ll ask tomorrow)...

20” wheels don’t necessarily come with reinforced underbody. The ones that do list them in the bullet points.

Wow, that’s crazy that it didn’t work from day 1! They haven’t promised my dad a loaner. Also, he’s a bit of a curmudgeon about these things and has been holding them to their promise to deliver a loaner and take the truck down when/if needed (a promise they made early on in the pre-delivery...

Does the new design sound smoother than the original? I was always worried "this time will be the last" whenever I used the one on my father's truck. If we didn't live over 3 hours from a service center, I'm sure we would have gotten it replaced by now, but he's been putting it off until there's...

Yes. This is going to be a work vehicle for me (primarily). Unlike the very complex IRS rules around Clean Vehicle Credits for normal consumers, the Commercial Clean Vehicle Credits guidance is fairly straighforward, and any new Rivian qualifies for the $7500. Even though the R1T I reserved has...

My theory on these demo vehicles (or perhaps my own wishful thinking, since I did just commit to a pre-munro R1T (VIN #10,264), is that they would have likely had a lot of service-center love (more than most/any customer vehicles. Especially if they were used for first drive events or test...

This seems to me to be a spot-on analysis and hypothesis—I, too, felt even more strongly after watching the R2/3 release that the April shutdown for retooling would be, in part, to bring about an R1 refresh both to drive more R1 demand before R2 starts shipping and to reduce complexity/cost of...

It definitely felt like I found a needle in a haystack! For some reason the page didn’t say it had the powered tonneau (like some of the others do), and the photo of the bed is of a white or limestone truck. But the sales guy double confirmed that it does have one. I’m hoping that as a demo...

Thanks OP! While I’ve really been looking for an R1S, I ended up pulling the trigger on this R1T because it was too good a deal to pass up and in almost my ideal spec (all but the reinforced underbody). Forest Green/Forest Edge/Dark 20”/Powered Tonneau (had to confirm with my sales guy)...

More like lack of cup holders ? (said in argumentative tone). A relatively cheap Etsy purchase has helped us with this. Unfortunately I’m not feeling so confident that lack of CarPlay will be so easy to get over for me.

We never really have smashed window break-ins where I live, but I will be putting those things in the center console once I have better organization there (currently waiting on/deciding between some other 3D printed options). I wouldn’t think people would go through the trouble/risk of smashing...

Nope! Without the bottles in the holder the speaker slides out just fine. Also, make sure you measure your bottle diameters (which the seller can customize for you). It’s fairly shallow to accommodate the speaker, so if they weren’t the right diameter holes, I think they would flop out around...
