I am in this predicament. I am not happy. Disappointed enough that Borealis isn't even a launch color anymore. Debating on canceling my order now. Yes, the color is important to me and I despise the other colors except Catalina and that's more a toleration than like.
The wheels wouldn't be any smaller. They stated they are all the same size wheel, it's just a change in rim size. The wheel itself is I believe 32" diameter.
The changes increase chances of survival. That's the point. The compromise is, we do a little regulation here to increase survival on these accidents, and you get to still drive a 4,000lbs weapon with 650 hp. And honestly, rolling back regulations during the Regan era led to a lot of issues we...
I agree it is a great bargain, but the color is actually one of my top priorities compared to the rest of the package. I was ready to accept a color I didn't love assuming Borealis wasn't going to be an option. My other option was Rivian Blue. I would have taken red or yellow. I wanted bright...
I'm trying to convince myself of that too, but now I'm like okay, so now I have to pay for the outer color, the interior color, the autonomy, and the tow package, and the fob. So to me, it's almost like, is paying performance worth it when I now have to pay for the autonomy, tow, and fob to wait...
I personally don't have much problem with it. He actually made the company. Very few large company CEOs can say that. Most of his pay is stock in the company he built. Elon bought Tesla, he didn't build it from the ground up. He also took on roles of marketing director on top of CEO to promote...
So you're telling me the exterior and interior color I want, the only reason I was getting a Launch edition to begin with, aren't available right off the back... that's just cruel. Heck if Borealis wasn't only on performance, I'd go premium.
......Dude... How much was your first house? 25k? The cheapest place I could buy for my first place is a condo for 380k+. I mean I know I'm young and got the worst housing market but way to make me think life is unfair in one sentence.
Pleeeease keep me posted. I went to the hike for the Rivian Grand Opening for Tyson's and loved it. It was a lot of fun and really wanted to do more Rivian events.
I would love that, but seriously the DMV is so expensive, I'm not sure Rivian could justify the cost. I can't even buy a townhouse as a single lady in this area with a good job while my condo could buy a house or two in other places. If their priority is to spread brand aware in the DMV with...
In this case, we can't complain too much. Rivian has about 100 services centers, going to 150 by the end of 2026. The fact there are 3 service centers around DC that's within an hour, is a lot compared to other areas that has none for 2 or 3 hours. And I'm someone who complains that Rivian...
I'm sorry, you lost me with your argument by essentially saying, "sorry, if you own a business and use your car in your business and write off the car as depreciation as a business expense, you aren't a real customer of that car"
If they bought the car, they are a customer. That is the...
After Launch Edition choice and R1 owner status, it will be down to location and timing. The timing of your order is good, but don't know about your location. I suspect areas with dedicated spaces will be priority. Really depends how many are getting launch editions and how many are waiting for...
Oh good, they finally found a space. The Rivian Marketing Director told me they were looking for a DC location (not the Tyson's one). I kept checking every now and then to see if they found a spot. That is a very pricey area.
