I’m with you because I’m torn. Can’t say I would do it to an expensive everyday driver personally. The added body armor is great for an off-roader, but that extra weight on an EV would be hard to justify. I wonder if the power lift on the frunk still works…

This right here. But, it sounds like you’re getting some response finally. Fingers are crossed though that everything works out and is done correctly. Great job asking them to check everything else as well. Like others have said, your patience during this his process is admirable and I hope...

Feels like I’m jumping into a bear pit here, but the order fulfillment process doesn’t seem to be so straightforward. There are people getting their trucks much quicker than others. One member has received their truck after putting in a preorder less than a year ago while others have been...

Agreed! And heads up to anyone in the D.C. area… CS called me back and they were able to schedule our test drive. They’re bringing a truck out to us on the 29th and they still had a few spots open on the 28th and the 29th available. Might be worth a phone call or chat session to try and...

That is very true! We’re thankful to have even gotten the email since we only pulled the trigger on 7/1/21. Much later than the vast majority of others on this forum. Can’t figure out the order they’re doing emails or deliveries in. We’re also located in western Ellicott City which is about...

That went fast… haha

I’m sure they will get the lock/unlock thing figured out at some point with an update. Like others have agreed here, it’s not a small problem for a group of us. My wife isn’t allowed to take her phone into the building she works in so she has to leave it in her new model Y. She uses the key...

Bubba Ropes are pretty good. A few guys have them back home and they haven’t had one fail yet. It’s a kinetic rope, like what av8or mentioned, so they stretch a bit like a rubber band. Really gives you an extra bit of oomph for extraction when someone is buried in the mud. Non-stretch ropes...

Maybe they’re going in order based on personality or CS contact experience… jk!

Has anyone made a list of the growing number of member deliveries? Or a way to add them to the member order configurations spreadsheet? Just curious how many deliveries we have among us now. Oh yeah and of course, congratulations to those who have gotten their R1 already!

I think he’s referring to a conventional heat pump’s inefficiency in very cold weather. Heat pumps can’t draw any heat out of the air when the temperature drops below a certain point so that’s when a heating coil would work best. Heat pumps are very efficient and work well in milder climates...

I’ll echo everyone else here and start off by saying, you have our deepest appreciation for taking the time to read and answer these questions! You have your trucks now, but you probably remember what the anticipation and unanswered questions running through your head was like. Like an itch...

It’s good that you’re following RIVIAN and considering a vehicle. But I think they’re focusing on test drives and events for preorder holders first. They are planning to open test drives to the general public in the future as far as I know. Things might have changed though seeing as how most...

I care actually. A factory optioned ability to open the roof somehow is a big plus to me personally. I’ve had the sunroof in my audi leak before, the one in my 4Runner rust, and I’ve even had to close the sunshade once or twice. I still think they’re worth it. I miss driving my old TJ around...

Can you break that cost down for me? I’m really curious how it costs so much? My wife and I are thinking about moving to Canada sometime in the future and your costs are giving me sticker shock.

Like a few other people here, my first reaction to the last part was annoyance. I understand the monthly costs for things like WiFi and off-roadside assistance. It’s almost like buying a house and having utilities costs. However, I don’t like the driving modes being tossed into that heap...

I hadn’t thought about that. Anyone know if there is/will be a way to filter the charging station results? Kind of like being able to avoid toll roads on Gmaps? But instead you would filter out hotel customer charge stations. I guess you could zoom in to see if it was at a hotel or...

My plan is to sell the free 21’s and then buying a set of cheaper 20’s with some 37” Toyo O.C. A/T III rubber (assuming everything clears of course). Luckily the commute won’t be very far so not too worried about the range hit. I think the 21” wheels would be ok for some off-roading as long as...

Is it even legal to have an EV in ICEland? ?? You live in a very beautiful country! My wife and I went there for Christmas one year. Stayed in Akureyri for a few days and then drove up to Siglufjörður in a blizzard. We spent Christmas morning snowed in at the hotel up there! We are planning...

Lol! I love those old demonstration movies! Very good video to teach how it all works. I remember my auto shop teacher telling us open diff cars were actually 1WD. Now I know I’ve been spreading wrong information so thank you for the clarification! Now I’m wondering what else I’ve been...
