All EV now with the Rivian. Also have a Model Y Perf, our third Tesla. Not a single thing in our house uses gas now, and its awesome.
I wouldn't go fully electric unless at least one was a Tesla though. We took a trip to Destin (from Austin) in our Model S last year, and it was SO easy...
I had a 2013 Tesla. The R1T has been much more solid so far. But I actually think the whole build quality thing is a fallacy, even with Tesla. I have had a LOT of problems in the past with Nissans, Hondas, and even Lexuses (Lexi?) that I have owned. Heck, the 2021 Tundra I sold, a truck...
Yep, I wouldn't be thrilled about it, but the Lightning now falls in that price range, and I never want to buy a gas car again. Eventually, I think more competition will get the prices down. I am SUPER thrilled to have gotten it for the price I did PLUS the tax credit.
I think this one is pretty slick. Also, I gotta say, its such a treat reading this thread (I preordered a set a few days ago as well). Seeing how you are happy to work with the folks here (some of which aren't super... diplomatic), and take a lot of their concerns into account! None of the...
Getting PPF (PremiumShield Elite SH, not XPEL) through a place here in Austin that I have used a few times before for my Tesla (PPF, Tint, rim repair). It was a good deal more than my Model Y Perf, but its a MUCH bigger vehicle as well. $6300.
Huge shout out to Loren! I sent her some cookies! I know they are busting butts up there this month. When she actually CALLED ME I was blown away. I have been with Tesla for 6 years, and their service has gotten so miserable. I gotta say that I realllllly hope Rivian can maintain this level...
Oh not worried about a lemon at all! I was just worried it was in a wierd state and I wouldnt be able to get it for a long time.
Turns out it gets to my service center tomorrow!!! I just found out.

I don't, my guide mentioned it. Maybe she used the wrong words, or was mistaken. I am not sure. I am going to ask when I speak again with her on Monday.
Its not that I am worried they won't fix what is wrong, but it sure seems like they are struggling to fix it, and it may end up taking longer to fix it then just waiting for a new production. It sounds like its had to go back multiple times, and my guide has made it pretty clear I need to wait...
I was originally slated for Jan-Feb delivery, but wanted to see if I could get it before Dec 31st and told my guide I was flexible with my config. I got my 8 steps email on Monday! I started the process, but my Guide suggested I hold until the truck is ~2 days from delivery so that I don't...
Yeah I had a soft lock on this one I think. LE in Dallas with dark 22's right? Something is wrong with it, and they can't sell it. Got switched to a similar one in progress in Normal. I was reallllly hoping to get the Dallas one, its a few hours away from Austin.
Did your guide set up the call or did you? I got a brief email from my guide Monday, but no calls. I asked about manual vs no cover, and haven't yet gotten a response.
