it seems like dark colors really works for stealth. Midnight, granite, etc

matte Tesla somehow doesn’t look attractive to me but works well on other luxury exotics. I’ve seen Austin Martin vanquish around my neighborhood that looks great in matte. I haven’t seen a R1T in matte in person yet but picture online looks nice, seems to compliment the lines of the truck.

Choosing between stealth or gloss on a blue R1T. I’m curious for people here that’s had their stealth PPF for a while, what’s been your experience? Anything of note? Regrets? Still love it? I’ve heard stealth handles water spots and fingerprints better than gloss, not sure if that’s...

Aftermarket wraps will always be better installed quality and longer warranty. However since they’re giving these stealth wraps away for free, it’s a good deal. the factory wraps are pre-cut kits vs custom kits in dedicated installer where they wrap the edges and corners. This prevents...

sorry to hear about your troubles. I think part of buying into a Rivian is dealing with growing pain of a startup, the opaque purchasing process, SC available, reliability, etc. It does sound like a mature manufacture is a better fit for you. I am curiosity about your quote though, as you...

yeah, definitely trying for that now. Still more than the QM due to the residual but at this stage I rather pay less than the unpredictable prices post refresh.

This is actually a great point, I've had vehicle PPF'd where I had to reapply a whole panel due to its location. Paint correction of scratches done every few years or so can be an effective remediation strategy too. I think the best combo is something like front coverage for rock chips and do...

Rivian does not do wrap in house, only at the factory. You'll maybe want to look into certified Xpel shops, which offers longer warranty and likely better quality work too.

Except you're likely not going to find a QM silver base model at said price (pre-order price + 23' promo + 23 referral). You'll likely find DM with lower residual and bring your QM and the leased vehicle closer in price. I.e you'll be downgrading on motor and equipment just to get into a newer...

Got it. Thanks for the clarification. From what I hear, it seems like when the final paperwork arrives day before delivery, they'll update the financials again so you're probably good to go.

So to clarify, you've already arranged lease financing based on the old numbers and provided deposit accordingly. However with the now newly discounted price based on the referral discount, your monthly lease should go down a bit, did they provide you with updated financial numbers to accept?

I’ve also had VIN matched but car pulled away last min and still awaiting a new match. Since mine is a ‘23 order, I suspect it won’t get matched until after June when the promotion period ends. Demo vehicles are tempting though, they’re ready to go and very low miles.

Given the number of cancellations, they’ll likely get you the deposit back. It’s worth just asking outright. Check out the demo vehicles though, some good deals there.

Ifs probably totally fine but I suspect it’s more than order ID, probably name, Email, and phone number etc

Being in the middle of making these choices as well so the topic is relevant. I’m planning on testing matte or gloss at a local shop once I get my truck as colors make a of difference. Here’s my thought. From reading reports and looking at photos of delivered trucks, the factory PPF does...

thanks so much. This is precisely the data point I was hoping to hear, that there’s some precedence for making customer whole by discounting price or whatnot.

So glad to hear I'm not the only one, my situation was similar. I had completed all leasing paperwork and ready to submit deposit, and days before the delivery the car went from assigned VIN to "Configuration confirmed". No proactive outreach nor notification, I had to contact customer service...

Amazing analysis! It reflects my instinct well, which is that R1S seems to be the most elegant solution in current EV market that enables outdoors adventures while being utilitarian at home on pavement. Perhaps a Broncos EV, wrangler or something like it will come and steal the show soon but...

I get accidents happen, but the lack of transparency and coupled with inability for their support personnel to escalate and make customer whole is my gripe. Especially when as customers we put down $1k non refundable deposit and have our credit run and approved to get to the delivery stage. It...

Out of curiosity though, has anyone had their VIN yanked out of their order last min? In my mind it's either some extreme circumstance like the car caught on fire or just the system oversold a ghost vehicle somehow and didn't notify me until the the day before pickup.
