On the bright side... interest rates are still shit if you were to finance purchase. And you get to avoid any yet-to-be-known early production jitters. And you benefit from all of fixes/iterations for issues discovered by all those ahead of you.

I think the charger issue won't ever be put to bed completely, because there are just too many different makes of phones and phone cases. However, with the inclusion of magnets, it should work for most people using the most popular phones/cases, that are made to Magsafe or Qi2 specs. Those who...

Like among the different R2 trims? Those manning the demo are just generalists and not fully briefed on product plans. Or, personally not vested enough to look into it and be knowledgeable beyond what's directly in front of them (work-wise). You have to remember, employees are just like anyone...

Interesting. Multiple reviews out saying the sound system is a unenthusiastic "good". One goes further, saying there are no speakers in the doors and the positive trade-off from that is less road noise and larger space for large water bottles. Grab handles... It's not as large or tall as the...

That is what Goat Fabrication ships every one of their sliders with. If that's not what you're installing, and the hex bolts are compatible... I don't see why not.

TBH, I wouldn't mind having that job. Structured. Predictable. And based on facts rather than arbitrary opinion.

When I got my R1T, first EV, I was told by the delivery guide to use low regen. Was told the same thing by First Mile demo guide months prior. For me, it was bad advice. I found myself always second guessing if it was going to come to a stop in time and consistently manually braking too soon or...

You will get used to it. And with a heavier car, with more momentum once at speed, stronger regen is a plus not a negative. It's also dialed back in snow mode, to mitigate chance of skidding. Plus, in the R2 you are sitting higher (and more upright) than in the MY and further from center of...

Before you resort to permanently alter the factory bolt... I would first heat the offending fastener with a soldering pencil to soften any thread locker it may have. Then slip the closest size extractor on to the bolt head. 36 mm is what's been mentioned in this thread. You might even try a...

Ouch. And given current conditions, no way is $600/mo realistic. Maybe for the base $45k-ish version. But who knows where interest rates will be by then.

That doesn’t mean there is inventory in stock. There were times when R1 could be ordered with multiple accessories and options, but not provided at time of delivery… only to be sent later.

The second you look away

Do not know cause and no one can diagnose without having same visibility Rivian does. FYI, neutral after car wash mode is only needed if you are using automatic washes that pull the vehicle through. And in car wash mode you should be able to manually pivot the handle outward by pushing on the...

If you have a garage that is tall enough, you can buy hoists that easily lift or lower the tent (with crossbars attached). I think most people just end up leaving the tent on permanently.

I wasn't as smart with timing. The one time I went against my usual pragmatic ways, I held on and did not begin to pull out until it dropped to 200-ish (Russian invasion of Ukraine). Sold the rest even later. But, yah, cars are depreciating assets. It's better to pay for a car this way than with...

That is indeed Esker.

These two are not as behind as most of them. And BMW might be a bit ahead of GM; evident in new electric 3 and X3. GM, I think, has it in their back pocket. They're just retracting production plans due to political winds and that they can make more profit maintaining status quo of gas and...

Nice. I bought my R1T in full with shares of TSLA held since '13.

I have one of the modified ones. And recalling from memory, the vertical gusset nearest the adapter locating hole was either omitted or much shorter. Someone might have posted a pic in one of those old threads when the issue first surfaced. I just don't have link handy. I bought mine in...

Not a problem I have in SoCal, but based on past experiences in wetter climates... There is not much you can do. Powder coated items, when done properly, shouldn't rust unless: Things were not done properly during coating; i.e. oven temp set too high or there are impurities in the powder...
