  1. Colorado R1S Pre-Orders --> entering first Aug/Sept Delivery Window.....

    It's going to be your home for more than 8 weeks.
  2. Not really an “Adventure” vehicle

    You should have researched EVs before buying one. Your fault.
  3. Will an R1 ever be as reliable as Ridgeline?

    It's not realistic to expect Rivian to be anywhere in the top half for build quality/service/bugs for the foreseeable future. It takes many years to dial things in. That's not a dig on Rivian, just the reality of the industry. If reliability is one of your main metrics, you shouldn't be looking...
  4. Any R1S pre-orders hear from guides recently?

    Cramped interior in the Taycan? You mean the backseat? The front seats are incredibly comfortable and not really more cramped than the Rivian, just lower down. The front seats in the Rivian aren't nearly as roomy as similar trucks or large suvs, honestly. You can get a Cross Turismo at MSRP...
  5. R1S Production Speed

    August-September was the earliest window they sent. In Rivian speak that means hopefully a few dozen customer deliveries before the end of the year.
  6. Throttle lag under hard acceleration

    I know the feeling you describe, the response wasn't as snappy as my Taycan. The pedal definitely has some deadzone and isn't very precise. It's not terrible, it's just not very sporty. It definitely isn't for safety, that's an odd thought. How would a delay and unexpectedly getting a surge of...
  7. First Mile: Unsure

    Did you overhype yourself? Probably. But the reviews claiming the Rivian is something it's not didn't help either. The R1T is a really solid vehicle. It's a solid choice among pickups (or larger SUVs when considering the R1S) but it's not really a "special" vehicle when you drive it. The...
  8. R1S vs. Fisker Ocean One

    The R1S is an actual vehicle made by an actual company, so I'd lean that direction.
  9. Is it possible to jailbreak the infotainment system?

    Good luck getting your Rivian serviced if you do this. Also tend to agree with the above, there's a difference between adding a physical modification to a vehicle and bypassing security features to mess with software. It's a bad idea.
  10. Is it just me, or does the Rivian actually look better in person than photos?

    It's not very impressive in person. It certainly looks fine, but nothing about it stands out from other pickups (other than the front). I've had a few drive by where it took me a couple of seconds to realize it was a Rivian. Again, it's a nice looking truck but it's nothing special. Almost...
  11. Gear Guard catches hit and run

    The 2nd person that watched and pretended nothing happened is the best. I'm not surprised by the initial douchebag but who sees it happen and doesn't take a photo of the license plate & leave a note?
  12. Mobile drive confusion

    What a bizarre question, I'm not surprised CS was confused. Your delivery will be when your delivery is. Your timing of a mobile drive has nothing to do with it. People slam Rivian CS but let's stop wasting their time and maybe they can do better when they get legitimate questions. I'm sorry...
  13. Change Delivery Location to Get Guide or Truck Sooner?

    Changing your delivery address can delay your order and potentially cause your reservation to be canceled if they feel you did so to cheat the system. Obviously if you've actually moved it's one thing but you should read the fine print on the preorder agreement. Not to mention Seattle is...
  14. End of my dream

    Sorry to hear about your troubles, OP, and just ignore the "Rivian can do no wrong" crowd on here. Chargers are unfortunately quite inconsistent and we've seen plenty of issues with R1Ts so far. The thing I'd tell someone considering a Rivian is to be prepared for significant issues with both...
  15. Other Location Want to buy early R1S reservation

    Once again, it's not allowed and the reservation would be canceled by Rivian. Guides have been instructed to look into changes of name, etc.. that indicate a swap and deny the pre-order. You'd have to have the person buy the car and then sell it to you, at which point the starting price is $30k...
  16. Washington FS: R1T - Launch Edition Green, Large Pack, 20” All Terrain Dark

    R1Ts are still selling to private buyers for $120k plus. It's only auction demand that has died down, there are plenty of serious buyers out there still. Friend had multiple 120k offers within 24 hours last week and sold for 130. People don't like the hassle of vehicle auctions.
  17. Max Pack Update? Anyone?

    Considering they're now pushing day 1 RIS LE deliveries to 2023, I doubt you'll see a max pack before 2024, if ever. I still expect Rivian to cancel the max pack entirely, but they know when they do they'll lose preorders.
  18. Rivian still hasn’t collected payment…..after 3 weeks

    Wow, that's.. bizarre. Tell your guide you've offered payment and they have 5 days to accept it, or you'll reasonably assume they've decided to gift it to you.
  19. R1S Delivery Update Email (June 30, 2022)

    I think we'll see a few. I anticipate it might be similar to the R1T, where we saw tens of trucks delivered at first and it ramped up a few months later. They'll want to report R1S production/customer sales for end of year.
