  1. Pay ahead of time..?

    I don't see any reason to wire until it's cleared PDI and you are a couple of days from actual pickup/delivery. I wouldn't do it the day before/of in the unlikely event that there were issues with the wire, you'd have an extra day to retry. As for insurance, they wanted proof of insurance...
  2. I don't feel valued as a customer

    The issue with providing a transparent look into the parameters is that those parameters could be changing fairly often. For example, when I spoke to my guide awhile ago regarding concerns over service (the closest SC is four hours away in Atlanta and the closest remote technician is over three...
  3. Who has the furthest delivery from a service center

    ~250 to the Atlanta SC. Those of us in NC, are looking at either Atlanta or Richmond, so I'm sure there are some in NC that are even farther away. It is the one thing that concerns me and why I am fine with not being first. (It is also why I do not want to be first in line for OTA's.) To add...
  4. Introductions & Welcome Thread 👋

    Welcome...now that the intro's are over, time to put you to work! The 21" tire availability has come up in multiple threads. In the latest, I asked how difficult it is to mfg a new tire size? With the increasing sophistication of CAD/CAM in some industries, the production line setup costs...
  5. Damage results from 7K lbs R1T vs Civic in collision

    Man I hate that....I've been rear-ended in Charlotte on multiple occassions. The first time, I was stopped at a stop light, maybe four cars ahead of me. I look up in the rear view mirror and can see a car headed toward me with the driver not paying any attention. I start standing on my horn...
  6. Rivian Trade-In

    I'm going through this right now. I have a friend that owns a used car dealership (just low mileage and high end cars). When I asked him about our Audi etron back in January, he said in Sept it was worth $10k more than now! Arghhhhhhhh. Anyhow, I'm going to get a one more quote next...
  7. Will always searching 275/55R21 tires trigger demand?

    It is an interesting theory. Obviously, search engines are designed to gather data that is then used to drive business decisions and marketing approaches. So lots of searches of a specific item has the potential to become a data point in design and production decisions. However, a much better...
  8. Off-Road Package and Tire Decisions - HELP

    I originally had the max pack configured with the underbody shield and 20's. When they changed the entire maxpack configuration, I vacillated before finally deciding to drop it. So, I, like you, went through the agony of trying to decide what to do. I ended up moving to the 21's and keeping...
  9. So my R1T was keyed on Monday night... and I got it on Gear Guard

    He keyed a Mazda, Audi and Rivian. Highly unlikely that either are EV's And the Rivian is so rare, it is unlikely that the perp knew it was an EV. This is simply the action of a Sociopath getting their thrill by being able to exert power and control over someone else. If I'm OP, I'd be...
  10. Rivian 20" Aero Covers

    It's quite the conundrum for me. My main concern is range to football games. It's about 100 miles each way, mostly Interstate and most of that 70MPH so figure I'm going ~75. Traffic at the stadium is problematic so a good chunk of time sitting there to get in and get out. (Weather is not...
  11. Rivian 20" Aero Covers

    I'd love to know what the impact to range is. I made the decision to downsize from the max pack. Originally had the 20", but with that decision, I've been looking in the shop for 21"...since it makes up for some of the loss (40 miles, which is significant for me). If I could get a meaningful...
  12. South Carolina 21" set of 4/5 for sell

    I just shot you a note
  13. Twraps is awesome! PPF installed DIY photos

    It's things like this that make me so grateful that I am ADHD instead of OCD. It may bother me at first but after about 30 seconds my mind flits onto something else. It drives my wife crazy. Typical conversation: Her "Do you hear that squeak?" me "yeah, I do" Her "Don't you find it...
  14. Midnight Black R1S delivery after 4 years, 11 days - Finally!

    From a purely selfish perspective the more in the CLT area, the more likely it is that we get a remote service location close by. About a month ago I decided to heck with it and drop the max pack so I spoke to my guide about the service situation and she said that the closest mobile service...
  15. Can I change Rivian Guides?

    To be honest, "ask your accountant" is an appropriate response. It is a pretty big no-no to provide tax advice unless you understand both 1) tax code and 2) the individual's specific situation. I can't imagine any guide providing much more than 'ask your accountant'.
  16. Scorpion AS+ tire swap (from 20" Scorpion AT) - WOW big difference

    I would like to see the citation that supports this position. I'd also like to see the source where Rivian says "but no, you have to use *our* tires" (your quotes). I certainly inderstand your desire to have the means whereby the consumer can make changes, but I'd need to see the specific...
  17. My First and Likely Last Post

    ??? What vehicle has 100% relieability all the time? Now, to be sure, some vehicles have higher failure rates than others and you may feel that the Rivian failure rates, based on anecdotal information gleaned from forums and bloggers, are unacceptable but if you require a vehicle that will...
  18. PPF question - spend $7k to put a clear PPF on $80k vehicle?

    Yeah, I've used PPF for the front bumper, hood areas that are subject to lots of rock chips. Buy the kit and apply it myself. Maybe....just maybe...that came close to break-even or slightly positive ROI (given $0 labor cost) at trade-in time but I think that is probably about the only time it...
  19. Rivian (Sorta) Branded Frunk Liner

    As always, you are a 'font' of wisdom
  20. FOREST GREEN R1T Photos

    Thanks to all for their take...now I just need someone to decide it's not for them so it ends up in the shop.
