Good summary. I would add that insane brokerage fees are typical for UPS, FedEx and Purolator (often hundreds of $ and can be up to 5X the value of the item you bought). When ordering from the US, I ask the shipper to ship USPS as they don’t charge brokerage fees. If they don’t I don’t buy...

Hey Naivirivian, Did you change anything in your order? Generally the estimate changes to processing estimate for a quarter if you make a change to your configuration. Second question, do you have access to the R1 shop? I'll be honest, Rivian is not the most organized right now and hasn't...

(Edited after talking to Weathertech) Looks like Weather tech now has this option for a trunk liner, if you keep the 3rd row up most of the time. It's the first one that I've come across that exposes the tie-down points. It can also come with an optional roll up bumper guard that just snaps...

I really like the fit of this one, but aren’t you concerned about the dog damaging the armrest material in the 3rd row? Doesn’t look covered.

Hi Nezha, Rivian’s made before March 2023 had two 12v batteries. They experienced some issues with dead batteries which, like an ICE car, render the car undriveable until changed. Here’s some detail on it...

You would think so, but it could be that the redesign is so extensive that it’s not possible on the early models. A somewhat related story - I have a friend who has a 2014 Model S, where the handles auto-present, and he’s on his 17th handle assembly replacement. 17! 13 we’re under warranty...

I bought a launch edition R1S out of the shop. LG with the 20” AT wheel package and shop pricing didn’t include the cost of the “upgraded“ wheel package or the paint. Price point was about $2k below my configured one (Limestone with standard 21” all-seasons). Didn’t stick around long enough...

January and Meridian, I suspect that you’ll have the two 12V batteries. No biggee, I was just curious as one of my first jobs will be to upgrade the 12V (I had mine go on the MS and it bricks the car!). Similar experience on my end, I brought the R1S to my buddy who is a die hard Tesla owner...

FYI Toronto SC is open and has been delivering for a couple of weeks now. Was there yesterday picking up my R1S and they’re overflowing with vehicles! Re Tuxnat, I was in contact with them as well. I had a bit of a miscommunication but, aside from still needing the time for the R1T scan, they...

Well, picked up my Launch Green R1S (from the R1 shop) earlier today, and the delivery couldn't have gone smoother. Rivian staff were at the door waiting for us to arrive, paperwork was ready, one quick signature and then off to the truck to get the exterior and interior walk through. Our rep...

Yeah, I'm scheduled for pick up tomorrow and there have been some minor hiccups. Out of the blue I got a text with a delivery date that hadn't been discussed, and email responses are delayed. I chalk it up to normal growing pains as they expand to Ontario. With that said, my guide and lead...

I respect what you’re saying and I think that there are certainly some legacy makers that are farther ahead than others, but even the ones you mention have their issues and for most, efficiency is one of them. But I think that we digress. I’m certainly not a Tesla fanboy and am eagerly...

You raise valid points about HVAC dominating the early power usage, especially in the summer/winter if car isn’t pre-conditioned, however I think that my point is still valid. A sales rep pointing to the estimated range when those are highly unreliable is not good. Second of all, EPA estimates...

I test drove a few Audis this past summer. Sales rep knew nothing about EVs. Was confused at why I recorded the kms and SOC before we left, kept pointing me to the range calculator. Bottom line, EPA estimates were garbage, I drove 7 miles and it took 6% of the charge. Beautiful styling and...

OK, sorry for the misinformation, clearly a disconnect on their end as they mentioned that they didn’t need either anymore. Having said that, they did say that they’re not taking orders right now and to get on their email distribution list so that they can inform us when the inventory comes in.

FYI, reached out to Tuxmat and they let me know that they have the R1T/R1S already scanned and their order has been placed - they expect to have inventory for Rivians in 4-6 weeks.

I got a R1S, but I believe that the charger would apply to your R1T. I also see that they’re now retrofitting the automated tonneau so hopefully yours will come with the new, upgraded version. Something else to ask your guide?

I highly recommend Brooks and Top Geer wraps. Not the cheapest, but they do great work…and they’re located 5 mins from the Rivian SC. https://topgeerwraps.ca/ I’ll be picking up the R1S in the next couple weeks and taking it straight there for front end PPF and tint. Happy to have the...

Just did the same. I‘ve always loved the LG but it wasn’t available to me. Tried the link and got a quad, w/ Black Mountain, dark ash interior. My wife’s exact spec but in LG. The funny thing? It’s coming with the 20“ all terrains and was priced lower than the Limestone on 21”, so looks...

Hmmm, looks like I moved up to December 2023 - January 2024 too. Limestone R1S. I plan to defer as long as they let me, though, so someone will be moving up!
