Highly likely that config will be paired with the compact spare. With that config, Adventure should be $300 cheaper than LE so worth thinking about whether the wristband is worth $300 to you or not in case you happen to see both pop up. I took delivery of GW/OC/20s this morning (no RUS) and...

Interesting. I don't know what Allstate was charging, but as a data point it added ~$13.30/month on my USAA policy. That may be high -- I'm honestly not sure -- but I liked the piece of mind of being able to quickly replace at or close to full price if something happens (assuming cash value on...

lol. Sometimes having a law degree and a tax degree pay off, even when you’re just a lowly builder like I am:CWL:

I’m in that camp for my R1S. Taking delivery tomorrow at $75.5k (LE, GW, OC, 20” AT). 2021 order with BPA signed before August 2022 deadline. Extended 2022 return to claim on initial filing (filing next week). If that for some reason gets challenged and ultimately denied (shouldn’t in my state)...

For those eligible for USAA, their auto insurance values at "Actual Cash Value (ACV)" which is essentially a regionalized value determination based on local conditions, prices, comps, etc. & they offer a relatively inexpensive "New Car Replacement Assistance" feature you can add to the policy...

That picture is hilarious to be honest (and becoming more common). As someone else mentioned, it's a great sign for Tesla to get that sort of uptake, and at the same time broader EV adoption of any brand benefits everyone who owns an EV as charging becomes more and more universal (federal funds...

Makes sense & congrats on that rate -- now just pay it off as slowly as possible since you can net profit with high yield savings, CDs, treasuries, etc!

Yeah, their website shows a minimum rate of 6.29% for a 96 month loan on a new vehicle currently. Rates say they were updated April 3, 2023 so they may be even higher since then. Did you lock/fund a while back, or did they just decide to go insane on their rates in April?

The only way to compete with an established company like Tesla (or the other big manufacturers) is to (a) have access to enormous amounts of cash to weather the ramp up years, and/or (b) significantly differentiate your product so you're not competing for the same buyers. Rivian checks both of...

My biggest problem with current Tesla vehicles is the removal of ultrasonic sensors (USS). The pricing is admittedly tempting, but no way I'm buying a car in 2023 at any price that doesn't have USS installed (let alone one that partially markets itself on advanced driver assistance features)...

2022 build has the following likely benefits (not guaranteed, but almost certain on a 1XXX VIN): 12V in frunk (mentioned above by @sub) Wood trim on front seatbacks (mentioned above by @sub) Meridian Elevation Sound System 2023 build has the following likely benefits: Slightly higher resale...

Great config -- congrats on snagging it and being able to pick it up so quickly after purchasing! Just as context for others, I confirmed a shop LE last week that's being shipped out from the Normal plant and my VIN was 61XX so they seem to be sort of all over the place with sequencing on...

Severa Several really nice configs in there (for now) and appreciate you posting so I can continue to window shop even while waiting on mine (LE, GW, OC, 20" AT) to arrive at the SC for delivery:

Yes. Mine was the absolute base price $75.5k w/no paid options (LE, GW, OC, 20" A/T) which also happened to be my exact configuration (I did have "brights" configured instead of the low gloss wheels, but honestly decided I like the low gloss as well or better). Moving from ADV to LE saved me the...

I believe with the update to the configurator the only Adventure packages they are building currently with 20" have the "All Terrain Package" (no option to separately configure without that at the moment). I think for the immediate future the best odds of finding a 20" build without the...

As posted above, there is no way to know in advance. To take that a step further, I inspected the page source when I had access (Rivian is notorious for coding things in before they are visible, like the updated delivery estimate windows) and even digging through all the code I couldn't find...

Can't speak for that poster, but I went ahead and just filed an extension on my taxes yesterday since I know my R1S is in transit now. Figured that way I can claim on 2022 without needing to amend and also see what comes out with the April 17/18 updates on credit amounts and then decide the...

Agree with the post above -- hold out for a check that checks the boxes you care about. In addition to the hassle and costs of swapping (logistics of meeting up to trade, removal costs, installation costs, rebalancing, etc.), there's a $1,700 price delta between the 22" Brights ($1,800) and 20"...

See the image posted by tgo10000 two comments up from this reply. It's that green banner at the top of the page (which, once you get access, you'll be able to see when you're logged into your Rivian account and on the account or configuration page). You should also be able to access it via this...

It's still unclear to me how the MSRP limits are going to apply to Rivian where the "MSRP" you're charged depends on the date you reserved rather than the date you buy. I assume we're safe to go by the Monroney (window) sticker since -- by law -- that is supposed to list MSRP, but seems odd if...
