I'm no expert (have a huge salt-lick handy before reading), but I think the question "can Tesla deny Rivian’s right to [use Tesla's Supercharger network]" has a few layers to it.
Today, the only "right" to use Tesla's Supercharger network is a contractual "right," meaning if you are permitted...
R1S delivery window delayed 6-9 months and is now June to August 2024. Disappointed. I’ll keep waiting, but sure doesn’t feel like Rivian is turning the delivery volume corner. Or, those of us with the early pricing and quad motor configurations are just not the priority (which would be...
Your window kills me, and I share your pain. I am not configured for LAS, but when I changed from Limestone to Midnight, my Adventure Package R1S with 20" All-Terrain Dark wheels (Nov 21) went from Aug-Dec 23 to Jan-Dec 24. The only delivery estimate that's worse than "sometime in 2024" is...
Rivian has a production problem, plain and simple. It’s neither unexpected nor easy to solve. The company’s future depends on being able to ramp up production as quickly as possible in order to serve the broader market, not deliver specialty options. Truth is, very few EVs offer 400+ range, and...
Does anyone have any experience with the delivery estimate impact of choosing the 20" All Terrain wheels versus the 20" All Terrain Dark wheels? I like them both, and would probably choose based on the estimated delivery date impact. I chatted with Rivian just now and they said they had no...
Interesting. I owned a 2019 Model 3 and there was always drain when left parked for extended periods unplugged. Of course, when I parked at the airport I kept Sentry Mode active but I resisted checking on it constantly and limited opening the app to once a day. I didn't keep metrics, but I'm...
I was also late to order and have a tentative R1S delivery window of October-December 2023. : (
Better late than never, though. In any event, I decided to drive the 1.5 hours from where I live to the Venice Hub just to check it out in person. I'm thrilled I did for a few reasons:
First, while...
Yes, after the impact they go back to pick up the parts and you can see the wash he hit, which was the result of a flow from a large drainage pipe (which, when he’s looking back from where he drove, is to the right; it was to his left when he was driving). Looked like a fairly steep (a few feet)...
My $0.02? I think this guy just did a public service for those of us giddy about getting a R1 and taking it off-road. The speed and acceleration of my Model 3 was stunning, and for someone who’s never dealt with acceleration like that before I could see the car being a hazard. That wasn’t me, so...
Originally ordered 11/21. Made the mistake of changing colors and wheels a few times a week for 10 months because the figuration tool is fun (and I’m a fool). Oh well. Truth be told, I’m still not sure what color I want, but I’ll cross that bridge later I guess.
Ordered R1S 11/21. Messed around with the color and wheels pretty much once a week until early October. Not sure I can wait this long but the date is not a surprise to me:
I didn't see this tread get started yet but given all of the Rivian news of late, wanted to get it going so I could read what other forum members who follow this closely and/or are experts about this stuff think.
The Q3 earnings call is not until November 9, but Rivian is already reporting its...
Hey all. First post! I'm on the waitlist and don't expect my number to come up for a long, long time.... Anyway, thanks for posting that picture of the Limestone! Been thinking a lot about this color. It looks non-metallic to me, but someone noted lots of metal flakes. Can someone confirm if...
