Happy to see an R1S out in the wild doing some proper adventuring! So long concrete jungle. Thanks for sharing!

I’m opting out of the underbody shield for weight considerations. I 4x4 often but not over the rocks or anything that might need additional protection. I m coastal and worry more about the metal rusting VS the standard polymer underbody.

I’m not optimistic about any modern vehicles ever making it to the Rare or Vintage category in the future. With the entire operation dependent of the software support of the manufacturer, I think it’s unreasonable to expect them to continue support on old models. much like any piece of...

Tacoma owners feel this pain. Plenty of aftermarket A pillar grab handles for them. Air bag does create an issue. If you do go forward with this mod, please do a write up and take plenty of pictures!

Fairly certain Rivian has flown a tech out and taken care of the Hawaii customers. Haven’t heard of many bricked from major issues. But all the known recalls and typical alignment/rattling/AC stuff has been serviced by a mobile Riv tech or contracted through a local shop(alignment) Guy flys over...

I’m considering dropping the underbody shield as most of my off-road is beach and some muddy, rutted trail/roads.

If a hybrid or fully electric Tacoma becomes available before my R1T I’m all over it. Serviceability at an on island dealership would be my tipping point.

Surferdude, are you on Oahu? I feel like reservations there will be the first to take official deliveries. Mine still says June/July 2024 (reserved in 2019) but I’m on Kauai and just patiently waiting for Rivian to work out the design flaws and QC issues. Who knows, the longer we wait, we may...

I’m a big fan of bronze wheels on white vehicles. Great look with this R1T!

These tiny trucks are popping up all over Hawai’i. I could see this Telo EV Pickup catching on here. I personally need a proper 4x4 for where I need to go. But I see the use case. A very affordable price point would sell a boat load of these across the islands. https://www.jdmhawaii.com/

Signed.

What kind of rate did you end up with? And how comparable was it to the others you researched? I’ve insured with USAA for years but this Nationwide policy seems like the way to go.

I have to agree here.

Forum friends, please humor me. I’m seeking to restore my faith in Rivian’s product. Since frustrated customers tend to speak out more than satisfied customers, I’m curious how many SC visits to expect after taking delivery.

Indeed. Knowingly delivering substandard units to customers with the hopes they simply accept or overlook the defects, have the SC fix what ever the customer complains of. There is absolutely no way their quality control from the factory is this bad. It is a business decision. Cost to deliver...

Given this, Rivian could simply offer poor quality R1T/R1S to pre-price customers, with full intent of them getting rejected, then poof everyone pays the new price and no more pesky early adopters ruining todays profit margins. Or just Dump the “Factory Seconds” on us.

It would be really unfortunate if Rivian is trying to dump returned or questionable units onto Pre-Price Hike customers. Take it or leave it(and pay!) ?

I just be satisfied the turn signals work at all at this point. With any luck a software glitch will mysteriously disable them completely. /s Seriously though I agree, you don’t want to be the kook riding around with his blinker on all day.

Exactly. The 7 day return policy doesn’t make this any better. Further inconvenience could easily be avoided, even if you just ride along in the vehicle you are receiving with the delivery driver.
