In Massachusetts they give a $7500 rebate for EV commercial vehicles, but I believe it has to be registered in a business. Is yours registered in a business name? Looks like all trucks are commercial vehicles in CA...
Really sorry about all the issues with the vehicle. Didn't the 7 day start when you picked it up the second time? I would first ask tell them you don't want the car since it doesn't work. If they don't agree, say that you'll be filing a complaint with your state's attorney general and consumer...
The company I see that could partner or buy Rivian is BMW. Rivian gives BMW a door to the adventure lifestyle market. Plus, once Georgia is up and running, they will increase their manufacturing capacity significantly. BMW already exports cars from the US, they could easily expand Rivian's...
The Model X has 15 cubic feet behind the third row and significantly less head room in the third row. He says small screen, I don't know how anyone can say the main screen is small. Only valid complaint maybe the infotainment, but everything else is as others pointed out AI generated or someone...
I believe it is. Now that Tesla is opening up their chargers, I can't think of a place where a charger isn't accessible in New England. We have plenty of options for charging on most of the major routes and destinations. Only issue might be quantity of chargers in high demand locations.
If you know anyone near the Chelsea center, change your address to their's. Then ask for a first ride and then shop access through CS. After you get shop access and pick a ride, you can change your address back to your original one. It worked for me.
That does seem a little more damage than I'd settle for. Maybe they can refinish them or I'd ask for a replacement of the damaged ones while the tires are still new.
Best way to get access is schedule a test drive. My brother did it and got access within a week. He then requested access for me and I got mine the day after. I'd even see about test driving a R1T just to get in front of someone and so they know you're ready to purchase. We were Oct 21 orders...
I think based on the current production rate, R1Ss won't be hard to get very soon. Remember, you're the consumer and don't lose fact of that. If the truck isn't to your liking, don't accept it. And this applies for anything you buy. Be patient and go through the truck to make sure you're...
I got shop access last Thursday and it's already at the Rivian center. I'm not picking it up until July 8th because I'll be gone for two weeks starting Saturday and I didn't have time this week to pick it up. Wait until the delivery specialist calls you to delay your pick up because they are...
How many days since you contacted them? It took mine about 4 days before I heard from them. If you've completed the steps without issue, they really don't contact you. Your car is probably at the center getting prepped for delivery.
Basically, the motors "stall" in these situations until a high amount of current is sent to the motors. Once the "stuck" situation is resolved and motors start spinning, the motors quickly overcome the resistance and transition to a low resistance scenario leading to the truck losing control. By...
They're working on it. Electric motors have a hard time with situations where the motor isn't moving and is "stuck".

It might based on others saying the noise started after a software update. The compressors are muti-stage and depending on the load profile, the software might be running the compressors out of optimal operating parameters. The software probably doesn't have the correct data for the refrigerant...
I'm in the same boat. I just emailed my guide saying I won't be able to pick up the vehicle until after the first week of July. As much as I really want to take delivery, I don't want to lose my 7 day return period. If it goes while I'm away then it wasn't ment to be. As my friend says, they'll...
