You're 100% mistaken. Either you misunderstood what the Rivian reps were telling you, or they were gaslighting you. As I'd mentioned above--my wife took delivery of her R1S on 31 December 2024. She has had her NACS adapter for more than 2 weeks now. I took delivery of my R1T on March 31...

I'm not outright disagreeing with you, but I think there are quite a few assumptions in your statements. Let's just leave it at: 'it's more complicated than most people are giving it credit for and people with really big paychecks and fancy titles are worrying about those details. AND they can...

My wife picked up her R1S the absolute last day of the year (December 31). She received hers within 2 weeks. EVERYONE should have theirs by now, if people picking up a vehicle that qualified for the free adapter the literal last day it was offered have them...

Well, that and, people keep forgetting that it's not just a quick phone call and bam contractors show up tomorrow. There's a multi-month process just to PLAN capital projects like this. And multi-year permitting required. And then a whole lot of timeline and project management, the likes of...

? The weakest form of scientific 'evidence' is "I saw it."

I guess that's true. However, a lot of these projects were started well before the election cycle. And a lot of projects simply don't have the luxury of having a shorter timeline for the sake of politics. And a lot of proposals are probably put together completely independent of political...

It’s short-sighted to judge major infrastructure projects strictly by whether they can be completed (or fully funded) within a single electoral cycle. Public-private partnerships are often necessary precisely because these large-scale efforts—especially those aimed at driving technological...

Looks pretty good. Any reason you didn't do the dishsoap + water method (wet, lay it as best you can and squeegee the solution out)? That seems to be much more forgiving. That said, I'm not a professional, and when it comes to sensitive projects like this, I tend to pay talented people to do...

Given the fact that I can literally hear the same motor whine when outside of the vehicle when my wife's driving away, I'm going to call "nonsense" on the pumped in motor whine. And when we've been off-roading and watching others navigate rocks and terrain during educational stops. Definitely...

I didn't see you mention it, but FYI: If you set the Rivian charger as your destination (or any DCFC on the map, for that matter) by clicking on the lightning bolt bubble and setting the charger as your destination, your vehicle will pre-condition the batteries for peak fast charging. You may...

That'd be the element that becomes the deciding factor for me. I would literally order 2.

Further endorsement for Malvern. I had phenomenal experience on a slew of items on my work order. They kept me apprised of progress and had everything done right the first time in a week. My only 'negative' was the Enterprise rental, but that's not Malvern's fault. Let's hope they get more...

I'm not sure that's true. Given the current political fight against progress and anything that can be considered 'green' and/or 'good for the environment,' and their subsequent takedown of all incentives. Notwithstanding none of the incumbent manufacturers are doing a very good job vying for...

Hey @EV Sportline, I placed an order on the 13th and it still hasn't shipped. When I put it in my cart, it said Shipping 2-4 days. Can I get an update?

The initial posit for this thread was 'new kind of automotive warranty,' so I'm not ...quite following how you think I was arguing for 'out of warranty' repairs to not be doable by users/owners/shadetree mechanics? I want to be clear: I WANT MORE autonomy and ability to work on my own vehicle...

I want to be clear insofar as: I don't disagree with the premise you're after, and I'm not arguing against you to argue against you. However, in practice, there are a lot of people who think they know better than they actually do... and for that reason alone, if I were Rivian, I wouldn't be...

Started my drive in, started getting cold. Hit the HVAC screen, reached down and toggled to the rear zone and turned a vent on. Within about 5 minutes, it got toasty warm. Ideal? No. The problem is manageable, though.

To be clear: I'm FOR more right to repair and putting control in owners' hands. THAT SAID: what happens when a customer strips threads (who has no experience re-tapping, or even owning a tap and die set?)? What happens if they break a tab on an electrical connector? There are 100 things that...

Were these sold, or are you still looking to offload them?

What 'can' and 'can't' happen seem to be... illusions. It's almost like laws in this country aren't as concrete as they used to be... but that's just like, my observations as of recent. That said, I REALLY hope you're right (all of the dominoes are already toppling and cannot be untoppled)...
