Until highways are revamped to work in tandem with the technology or the technology is used en masse, "self driving" will always be unreliable and should only be used as an aid, not a crutch. Glad you're okay.

Yikes. That's an embarrassing one for Rivian. Will be interesting to see if they do more tests on it now and potentially start replacing the part when people have their trucks in for service.

Personally not a fan of white or black big SUVs. This would be my last color combo choice by a wide margin.

If you're noticing a trend it's because EA uses several different types of chargers/installers. They might look the same on first glance but they're quite different, and some of them are more reliable than others. At one point it was up to 5 or 6 but I don't remember the exact details. I know a...

No. It's just a CS way to keep you hooked. My guide has flat out told me I won't be getting an R1S demo drive before my delivery and that tracks much more accurately with everything else we know. I expect they'll stick with R1Ts drives, which honestly is fine. There just isn't that big of...

I mean, his statement is true but it's also not unusual. Most companies, not just car manufacturers, are technically "tracking towards bankruptcy" when they start delivering products. Until you reach full ramp up and smooth production, you're operating at a loss. So the statement is both...

Just to reiterate what a valuable tool Plugshare is. If you aren't using it when traveling in an EV, you're really making life more difficult.

It's insane that Rivian let that through QC. Unacceptable.

You misunderstand the rule. The rule is if you buy with the intention of reselling. Literally all you have to do is say "I didn't like it" and the tax credit is yours, there's nothing for the IRS to come after. The rule is for car dealerships so an owner/manager can't personally take the tax...

Counterpoint: the R1S is a more unique offering given current and soon to be released EVs, whereas the R1T already has direct competitors, making the R1S a more valuable model. There are plenty of threads talking about how few 7 seat EVs are even on the horizon, and of those very few if any fit...

You have a June 2020 order and got an August-September slot? Is Rivian high?

Mar-April to Oct-December. Gross.

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

You will be anyway. Wait 2-3 years if you're not up for that.

Yeah, those thousands of dollars for PPF really saved you from maybe having to do a 30 second pass of paint correction.

It's no longer allowed and the guides have been instructed to question accounts with suspicious or changed info. So if anyone tries to do this be prepared to have your reservation canceled.

There's an issue with Rivian's email system that causes some people to not receive the emails. One way this happens is if you ever changed your email address, the system will sometimes send to your old email instead.

If it's a Rivian employee? No, absolutely not. If it's from a transport company and they're doing a good job? Yeah, a $20.

Not to be a downer but the battery design where eliminating the 3rd row gets you that much more capacity doesn't exist and no one is going to spend the money to create it. It is puzzling to me why they eliminated the 5 seat option, though. It's a pretty good indication of their production...

Rivian uses a company for their trade ins and I doubt they "negotiate". It's a take it or leave it offer.
