Dang, looks like I hit a nerve! Tesla showed them how to do it. Clearly none of us know all the details and it's not as easy as opening a pop-up halloween store, but seriously how hard could it be? They are opening service centers all over the country, they can to figure out how to do it on...

Rivian could quite easily do what Tesla did in NM, and open a service center on Pueblo land to get around this ridiculous law. They know this, they have been contacted by multiple reservation holders in NM suggesting they do this, and yet they seem to have no plans to do so, and no real lobbying...

Still nothing in New Mexico. :( Starting to feel like Rivian is ignoring us down here...

Hopefully this will be a warning to other EV manufacturers - including Rivian - that at some point pushing everyone into the top trim levels and higher prices may eventually come back to haunt you. I think more and more manufacturers are going to find that their customers are more price...

I was afraid that was the case, sounds like on washboard roads KDSS is worse but otherwise better. I went back and forth about getting it vs not getting it and in the end decided to go for it since only a small percentage of my driving will be on washboard, but it's a bummer that it is...

Ha! Nice try but that's not happening. I'm hoping that in 2 years Rivian has most of the issues worked out - there seem to be quite a few to be honest, and some fairly major ones reported on here - and they will have built a service center in ABQ or Santa Fe or Pueblo land somewhere nearby...

Agreed, this is a major selling point for the 4Runner for many people. I really liked it on my 1990 4runner which had a fold-down tailgate instead of the rear hatch, but still had the window that rolled down.

Polar opposites in some ways, but similar in others - off-road capability and camping/road trip practicality for starters. Yes the 4Runner is outdated, underpowered, fuel economy sucks but I was at a loss to find something actually available that is better for my use case. The new version will...

Glad to hear the lift improved handling. I'm thinking about doing about a 2.5" lift and 33" tires but will probably drive it for a while first. I'm pretty much retired so no commute, this will be my do everything vehicle. Would rather have an R1S but for now this will have to do...and I even...

Clearly a 4Runner is not going to perform on the road like an R1. But since Rivian won't sell us an R1 anytime soon, and for us functionality, space, and practicality for camping/road trips/ski trips etc is much more important than sports car-like performance, it will do just fine. I'm getting...

Yeah, they did. But may have done us a favor in the end - I'm not sure having a Rivian and living 5+ hours from a service center is a good plan right now. 4Runners do seem to retain resale value better than most vehicles, hopefully that does not change when the new generation comes out. I'm...

Very True! I like the TRD wheels you put on the 4Runner, nice touch! Still trying to decide on upgraded wheels for mine.

LOL for sure! I feel for all of you who have been waiting 3-4 years. Waiting/hoping for Rivian to get their sh1t together no longer seems like a viable strategy...hopefully in a couple years they'll put a service center here, and have most of the issues requiring service fixed, and will still...

True, it is both archaic and indestructible. My 2012 Forester is pretty archaic and underpowered too though so it will still be a big step up for me! I currently don't have a backup camera/navigation/android auto, bluetooth connection takes on average 3-5 tries to connect. Toyota is supposedly...

Oh I definitely kept the order! Still hoping to get one....someday! Just decided I can't wait for it anymore, time to trade the subaru for something larger and more capable/comfortable. Was really hoping it would be the R1S and it may still be someday, but with Rivian's poor communication and...

Reserved R1S in Jan 2022. Never had a delivery window but was hoping for 2023. Seemed like a good deal at pre-march pricing plus tax credit. However - we live in NM, no service center and apparently no real plans to have one here anytime soon. Recently Rivian announced they will not be...

Another vote for the Loraffe deterrent mentioned above. We have lots of mice and packrats where we live, multiple neighbors have had their wires chewed. We installed these in our vehicles that get parked outside and have had no issues at all. They use Ultrasound, flashing lights, and sound on a...

I'm LA silver R1S. I live in NM where they are no longer delivering vehicles anytime soon ("processing estimate"). Jan 2022 preorder. Looking at getting a 4Runner to hold me over till Rivian gets their sh1t together.

R1S Jan 2022 reservation, never had a date, now says "processing". Because we are in Santa Fe, nowhere near a service center. And it is unclear if they have any plans to even try to build one in NM - they'd have to put it on Pueblo land like Tesla did, since we have some crappy laws about that...

"The delivery window estimate in your Account has been temporarily set to “Processing new estimate” as we finalize plans for when we’ll have a Service Center in your area. We plan to update your Account with a delivery window in January 2023." Jan 2022 R1S preorder, large pack, delivery address...
