We ended up going with FedChoice Federal Credit Union for our R1S. Instant approval with rate of
4.74%/60mo or 4.89%/72mo. Would have liked to go with USAA since we bank with them and financed our Mach-E thru them. EECU would have been our second choice.
EECU offered 5.79% for 60 and 72...
We reserved adventure trim El cap with 22" wheels on 12/2021.
Picked a LE from shop a few days ago with same color and wheels with vin XPN0204xx. I haven't asked my guide about build date but from reading here, it seems our R1S is a few months old.
We did save the $1800 by going with LE...
We just picked a R1S Launch edition (same as first pic) from the shop last night. We had the same configured since 12/2021 but the launch edition was $1800 cheaper. Our VIN is 20425, not sure how to determine the build date.
Iāve seen a few LEs since getting access the last couple of weeks. I shouldāve snagged the LE El Cap with dark 22s when I saw it last week. I tend to overthink things though and it slipped away.
I just got shop access last week and have been searching daily for an R1S similar to my configuration.
I have a question about the launch edition models popping up. Is Rivian still making launch editions or are those customer returns or cancellations? What model year would they be?
We went with the R1S. Weāre only a family of 3 but want the extra space for family trips and camping. Weāre planning on replacing our 2013 Ford Explorer with the R1S.
Our expected delivery is end of 2023 so we still have a while till we get our hands on it. Iām sure by then there will be more...
We spotted this R1S back in July when we stopped to charge in Bakersfield. Unfortunately this was the only pic my husband was able to get as we were on our way out and the Rivian had just pulled up.
I have read a few post about the 12V battery going out over in the forums. My car has received several updates via OTA and thru dealership and so far no issues, although it does worry me at times.
I do wish it was easier to access the 12V battery in the MME. Only way would be thru the little...
Have you tried going to a different dealer? Or reaching out to ford over in the MME forums?
I have a FE MME with 11000 miles and have never had any issues with my car. Hope you get your car back soon.
