  1. Devastated… rear ended in my brand new week-old 2025 R1S

    My suggestions are: 1. Having an attorney is a good idea. Just be mindful of the fee arrangement. 2. Do not talk with the insurance company for the person who rear ended you. Let your attorney do the talking. 3. Be careful in talking to your own insurance company. Probably best to let your...
  2. I am at a loss, Rivian service is broken and I can't take it anymore

    You’re doing a great job with convincing me whether I should cancel my order for the new Tri-Motor and walk away from my $3,000 non refundable deposit.
  3. Ford Ditches Electric SUV: Is it Time to Address the Elephant in the Room?

    I agree, I traded my Corvette Z06 for a R1S because I no longer felt safe driving such a smal car. I was looking in my rear view mirror constantly waiting for an F-150 to rear end me. Until there are more and faster charging stations EV’s, regardless of price, will not see mass adoption...
  4. Rivian Referral Code Program ("Rivian Rewards") Announced

    I agree wholeheartedly. If Rivian thinks this program is going to make a difference in the price of the stock or the bottom line of the company, they are smoking a whole bunch of something.
  5. What do you think it is? Rivian news tomorrow!

    I agree. However whatever the news is, the stock market does not appear to impressed, because the price of RIVN has been down over the last 2 days.
  6. New Custom Order For Gen2 R1S

    I ordered a Tri motor on June 6, 2024 within hours of the site going live. I have been checking daily and my projected delivery date of September – October has not changed. With that said, I am concerned about the actual delivery occurring during the projected window period. There was a post by...
  7. RJ: Tri-Motor R1's Deep Sand Performance Being Further Developed. It's Incredible :)

    Impressive, however will the original projected delivery of the Tri-Motor beginning September-October still occur ?
  8. ? 2025 R1S Ascend: You can now choose SLATE SKY + WALNUT WOOD interior! ?

    Who is your guide. I heard from mine and it sounds like they are going to produce a variety of configurations and when a matching configuration to yours comes off the line you will be matched with it. It didn’t sound to me that they were going to produce specifically to your order. I have an...
  9. Cancelled Confirmed Preorder by Rivian - Twice!

    Regrettably you are not alone. I have had a similar situation two times now. The latest occurred this week when they claimed my vehicle was ready to be delivered and then when I asked them if they had found any issues with the vehicle, they told me that there were some paint defects but that I...
  10. Tesla engineer urges Rivian to move charge port location on R2, R3, R3X for Supercharger access

    I have no direct evidence of the additional cost. I agree my guesstimate may be low. However we are talking about approximately 10 feet of additional wire, acquired at wholesale and in bulk. Consequently, the cost won’t be that significant given the importance of this item.
  11. Tesla engineer urges Rivian to move charge port location on R2, R3, R3X for Supercharger access

    The biggest obstacle to wide adoption of EV’s are the issues regarding charging. The cost saving associated with putting charging ports in locations that are not easily accessible or easy to use is a foolish way to proceed. Rivian, please keep it simple and locate the charging ports where they...
  12. Why do you think Rivian moved the charging port on R2 & R3?

    The R1 charging port located on the front left fender makes a lot of sense, why change location. Those of us who have an R1 and installed a home charger, located it on the wall in front of the vehicle. Now if we get an R2 the charger will not be as convenient to use. It is also easier to use...
  13. The Glass is Actually Half Full

    I believe that Rivian will survive, although there will be many bumps along the way. Just look at Tesla and Amazon, they not only survived but thrived, however there were times when they were in trouble funding their business plans. If you have a superior product, which Rivian does, then as long...
  14. Experience shopping for an EV9 vs R1S - Update

    IMO the interior of the EV9 felt cheap, with too much plastic. Most importantly I found the driving experience of the Rivian to be exceptional, the ride height, handling and power were much better then the EV9.
  15. Experience shopping for an EV9 vs R1S - Update

    I did the same analysis as you. I went to a Kia dealer on Sunday and drove the EV9 and it does not compare on any level with the Rivian R1S, which is superior in every respect. I asked for a quote to lease an EV9, costing approximately $76,000 and with $9,000 down, 36 month lease and 10k miles a...
