All these responses seem scripted. It looks like they’re making some significant changes. I just emailed my Rivian insurance advisor yesterday asking if I could bundle my homeowners insurance with the auto policy, and was told that they’re no longer offering homeowners insurance through...
I’ve got a 4-Runner, a RAV4, and a Nissan Armada. It was the my first time driving a 4-Runner. I didn’t understand the charm of a 4-Runner before but it was quite satisfying driving that thing. Not going back to ICE nor it’s nearly as nice as the Rivian but the old-schoolness of the 4-Runner is...
My experience was smooth. I have Rivian insurance with $0 deductible for glass.
1. Call Nationwide and file a claim but need to tell them I already have the replacement scheduled with a shop (Rivian SC).
2. Bring truck to Rivian SC. No loaner because it’s not a warranty repair. I arranged my...
Agreed. I used to spend time convincing my relatives and friends to buy an EV by trying to answer their questions. But 90% of the time they’d just keep questioning me like what if it runs out of battery. What if the battery caught fire. So now I’m done. I’ll gladly buy another EV. You can stick...
I agree. I’d say bad luck. 12 years driving the same commute with a few different cars and got maybe 3 rock chips. With the Rivian, got my first one with if a month of ownership. Repaired it. Got a second and much bigger one 4 months later. Too big to be repaired but repaired it anyway. Then...
Agreed. Understandable.
It’s nice to have way more charging options but we’re sure to get a lot of shaking heads and rolling eyes from Tesla drivers at superchargers. Especially we’re taking 2 spots to charge.
At time of me accepting delivery, it had 50 miles, including the 30 miles the employee drove my new car from the SC to my house. He said they would just drive the new car to the customer if it’s within 100 miles and the customer has a trade in.
These are definitely super early prototypes. They don’t even have the yellow and red side marker required by law.
I think the tow hitch will be optional. If Rivian makes it standard, they might not be able to sell too many accessories for the accessory port. Owner will just buy aftermarket...
This exactly. However, Vroom has gone bye bye.
I’d sell to Carmax just to save time and hassle. Time is money. And no need to hear the potential buyer nitpicking, which they all do.
I’ve since turned mine off. I also notice the climate will REMAIN ON if you don’t turn it off manually. I have my schedule set at 7:30am departure on weekdays but this past Monday, I was off due to Presidents’ Day. I was home all morning and did not use the car until 4pm when I needed to run...
I noticed a similar issue but in a different situation. The car is parked in the garage and has been there for some time. I want to get something in the back seat. I go to the car and open the rear door. The lights do not turn on. I wait a few seconds and they remain off. I’d need to open the...
Same here. I was an early adopter of a Model 3 and a R1S. Loved both cars but also too tired to deal with those little problems now.
We have no need of a new vehicle in the next few years. And we’d still like a Tesla in our household for the seamless Supercharger integration and nearby service...
It make more sense to have the charge port on the passenger side now if they’re adopting to NACS. So the vehicle won’t take 2 spots to charge at a Supercharger.
I already had my windshield repaired twice in the first 6 months of ownership due to rock chips. The second one was actually a little too big to be repaired but I repaired it anyway knowing that it’s a pain (and expensive) to have the windshield replaced.
Don’t know if I’m unlucky but I’ve...
