Thanks for this. It hasn’t been said but should be considered. Besides the spare, this is on my mind. Not common, but issues like yours happen and that would definitely ruin my trip. I was considering asking them to charge it up to 95% to save me time charging at home while I load it up. This...

Great recommendation. Thanks. I am considering wrapping, but have never done it on prior vehicles. I personally don’t mind a little road rash on my vehicle, and don’t plan on selling soon. Ever since I bought my first car, I have a ritual of finding an obscure spot and giving the vehicle its...

Thanks to everyone for the words of encouragement, advice and well wishes. I am absolutely going for it and will report my success and subsequent east coast debauchery. Too many great messages to respond to each, but after reading everything, I had a few things to mention. 1) I think that...

$5K on vehicles under $80k with income qualifications.

This is my concern for our trips to Utah. Lots of great little towns with very few charging options. Good luck!

Spare: This is my main concern with the vehicle itself. Compact spare didn’t ship with the vehicle (SC informed me when I booked delivery date) so I am stuck crossing my fingers on that front if they don’t find one by delivery day. Have my emergency kit from my current car ready to move over...

This is my general feeling on just about everything including the Rivian purchase itself. I’m going full send no matter what, just figuring out probability of success and appreciating the Rivian OG knowledge.

So I just scheduled my July 1st R1S pick up in Denver. Was set to receive it in June but pushed on my end due to increased state EV credit coming in July. I am now forced to leave for my road trip to Boston that day in order to have any chance of being there on the 4th. I have no EV experience...

Following. Wish I had the info but I am a neophyte. Trying to decide my route from Denver to Boston.

This chart won’t be applicable come 7/1/23. Beginning 7/1 the light duty passenger and truck categories are combined and offer a $5K credit. Medium and heavy duty trucks are combined and will be eligible for a $12K credit. I think it’s a $55K cap for cars and $80k for trucks and SUVs. Assuming...

I ended up going the face to face and honest route. Met with the SC manager Friday afternoon, told him that the credit starts in July and he was able to help set up my pick up appointment for July 1. Their lot is really full so I was surprised they were able to accommodate me. The manager said...

Update: received a text today from service center letting me know my R1S is at the SC and ready for pick up as early as 6/8! What should be a dream come true on quick turnaround is turning into a nightmare thanks to the tax credit. I’m ready to say it’s an early delivery fee and take delivery...

Well, I wish that was the case… just off with my guide and my R1S is built and in transit with a June 11 delivery to the service center. Supposedly can only hold for one week after inspection is completed. That still likely leaves me in June or unmatched from my vin. Will be heading over to...

I certainly do get answers from my guide, but they are rarely correct.

So the credit is tied to delivery date, not the date I transfer money to them and sign purchase agreement? I would love this, but I thought it would be tied to purchase date.

So, I just got my 8 steps email and I am very excited, but also annoyed about potentially missing the new EV credit that starts July 1st. I am likely going to lose $3k and not even drive the vehicle in June. Anyone else in this position? Anyone able to work it out with your guide so that the...

I was going to go with the new black for my SOON to arrive limestone R1S and our 2001 Land Cruiser, but I might have to put this on one instead. Question is does it belong on the EV or the living dinosaur ICE.

Looks a lot like the set up my 5 year has going right now. She uses a cardboard box, Wii steering wheel and etch a sketch to achieve a near identical look.

So what I am hearing is rack is the right size but not necessarily ideal given rear bar height difference and lack of non-custom attachments that work with the Rivian bars. Is that right? Sorry for the million questions. Just trying to avoid trial and error on my own after I get the vehicle.

Looks great. Thanks for sharing. How is the range hit? Does it cover the top glass completely? And you wouldn’t happen to have an extra bar hanging around would you?
