I really like that the Hummer has some physical buttons, although they don't look great. Everything being on a touch screen is a pain and the biggest miss I see on the R1T so far. As an example, the Taycan has haptic buttons on a separate screen for climate control and the dial to change...

You just have to purchase a new car that qualifies. There is no length of ownership required.

You're out so much money returning this car in the "trial" window. They reimburse the cost of the car, you still pay all the taxes, registration, if they include a shipping charge, and they'll subtract the tax incentive if that applies to your vehicle. So right now if you bought a $77k MSRP R1T...

Be prepared for even more delays. There is good reason to believe delays will only get worse as some areas undergo partial or full lockdowns in predicted winter surges. Plus normal holiday slowdowns. It's clear Rivian doesn't have the required supplies to begin serious production and they're...

The BBB that passed the house is $74k for trucks and $69k for SUVs. It can obviously be changed in the senate however they want, but be aware the $80k limit was mentioned but has yet to be added.

I'm in the "don't put the front plate on" camp. I've lived in WA for 15 years and never put a plate on, I've gotten 3 parking tickets for it for a grand total of like $120. Never pulled over for it or had it mentioned when I did get pulled over. Just think of it as paying for an aesthetic...

I know people are hyped but most likely many of these glitches will be present to some extent on customer cars for a while. If people are expecting their LE to be bug free.. good luck. There are going to be some camera & infotainment issues. Probably some minor QC stuff, too. Hopefully all just...

Very nice!

Testing was also in 53 degree weather, they mention it on the spreadsheet. Worth noting is that Edmunds range numbers are incorrect, they use pseudomath to come up with them. In reality they had 46.9 kWh/100 mi out of a 135 kWh battery. Assuming all 135 is available that's 288 miles. But the...

The electric Macan will be priced much lower than the Taycan, probably starting at 65k. The "S" version likely around 76, which is usually the Porsche to buy. So yeah, a well equipped S will probably go for 86-88k. It'll depend, too, how this tax limit is set up should it pass. If it's by base...

Oddly enough I'll be cross shopping the R1S with the electric Macan. The R1S is bigger than I need and I can live without the more extreme offroad access but a lot depends on the Macan pricing. It'll be whether I want something that pushes me to be a bit more adventurous or something that's...

I really, really wouldn't option your R1T in hopes of getting it sooner. Order the options you want. For all we know, which is to say nothing, they could have used up their inventory of off road package parts and only make R1Ts without it for the next 6 months. We just don't know what they'll...

It's probably going to be more than 6 months for an R1S.

While there likely will be a small increase, I don't see a world where they make the R1T/R1S ineligible for the tax rebate. Based on more unbiased tests I've seen, the R1T/R1S are more akin to the midrange JLR products in terms of quality/driving/etc. That's still great and makes sense for the...

The Rivian deposit is a waitlist, not an order. They can change whatever they want or just decide not to offer you a car. Most of the time there's a step where you actually finalize an order for a custom car but it doesn't sound like that's what Rivian plans to do in the near future, rather...

This is very interesting and I didn't realize that. Obviously it'd be fantastic for us if they just automatically qualified the R1S/R1T and we didn't have to sweat it. But as you mention, we probably won't know for sure in time so it's probably best to keep below the 80k. Hopefully Rivian...

I went with the S just because it's significantly shorter. It will be my only vehicle so it'll be driven in the city a lot. Personally like the look of the T a bit better, though.

They have your VIN. Anyone can search a VIN and get a window sticker. If you're in a state with sales tax that can check that as well. Or they can have the dealership supply that information. Or if you have a loan they can check that. They probably care if you're asking for them to send you...

It's hard to say exactly but I think it'll be significant. The kitchen is less of an issue as it doesn't affect aerodynamics and is lower in the vehicle. If I was to get the R1T today with the tent on it and plan a trip I'd anticipate 15% range loss and hope it didn't end up being that much...

I can chime in and agree with the above. I have done a lot of road tripping in my Taycan 4S (I'm probably top 10 for EA 350 charger usage) and it has been fantastic. While EA does have some clear growing pains, ie.. one or two chargers at a location not working, some difficulty getting charging...
