  1. It could also happen to you

    Sorry to hear about your delay also. Just odd that with all the simple problems like this, they don't have a process in place to take care of it before it becomes an issue.
  2. It could also happen to you

    The PPF and tint was the first thing scheduled. I had other things lined up, one of which is taking the car on a road trip with the kids for their spring break instead of flying. So lots of moving parts, which is part of the frustration.
  3. Pay before pickup date?

    Yeah if I'm satisfied with the vehicle, I will just go to Chase instead of paying the ridiculous 6.99 that Rivian is offering. This is the first time I've seen where the rates for 72 month are better than 36. It's assinine.
  4. Pay before pickup date?

    Since they rushed me and said I needed to fulfill all the steps at least 2 business days prior to my scheduled pickup, I selected the Rivian Financing. I've also read other's stories about how their experiences were, so I didn't want to deal with the added headache of third party financing. It...
  5. Pay before pickup date?

    Yeah I guess I'm old school. I don't believe in buying a car you can't see or test drive. I didn't do that when I bought my Tesla and I sure as hell didn't do that this time around. I opted to go with Rivian Financing and cut them a cashiers check that I will hand to them in person just in case...
  6. Planning first road trip

    Wow this is great data. Appreciate the time you put into the response.
  7. Planning first road trip

    Out of curiosity were you in conserve, all-purpose or a mix during that trip? And was Santa Nella and Buttonwillow your only 2 charging stops?
  8. It could also happen to you

    Thanks, I did ask them to replace the 22s with 20s. Just not sure why they said it was ready for pickup and yank my appointment at the last minute.
  9. Indications of an R1 refresh

    I bought a replacement drawer from a site that fits in the same spot, has a fingerprint unlock and is recognized by the vehicle to lock/unlock the drawer from the main screen.
  10. It could also happen to you

    I get that, but when I called my guide last week to make sure everything was done and ready at the service center, I expected them to actually check with the service center and not just give me lip service. Getting rescheduled at the last minute even though you are told everything was good to go...
  11. All Terrain to All-Season Road Tires improves range / efficiency?

    I wasn't told that, that's good to know. Someone I know at Rivian just impressed upon me that the 20s were the superior wheel. I believe him because he's a car guy.
  12. It could also happen to you

    So I read a lot from people who have had their delivery cancelled/rescheduled at the final hour and I thought I could minimize the possibility of that happening to me. Long story short, after being told last week that I needed to have everything signed/uploaded/approved two business days prior...
  13. The R3 is meant to evoke Group B rally

    Doesn't matter what inspiration they got it from, but they nailed the look. My Wife isn't into cars, and asked if we can already reserve the R3. She also asked how much our Model 3 would go for with third party sales. I don't have the heart to break it to her that the R3 is at least 3 years away.
  14. All Terrain to All-Season Road Tires improves range / efficiency?

    Stick with the 20s if you are going to swap them out with a road tire. As others have said, there are more tire options and inventory. The 20s are also forged Enkei's vs the the stock cast wheels for the larger options.
  15. RIvian internal announcement: Software upgrade from Dual to Dual Performance available in 2024

    Yeah this is a no go if it's a subscription model. This just targets the folks that only see the lower monthly but end up paying more in the long run. A reasonable one time upgrade fee and I'm in. I'm assuming the PDM upgrade is only available to those that got the Large and Max pack. Any word...
  16. Tesla engineer urges Rivian to move charge port location on R2, R3, R3X for Supercharger access

    Yep I knew this was going to be an issue one day. I also bought the wall connector with a longer cable.
  17. Over 68,000 R2 reservations in less than 24 hours so far

    It does nothing for their cash needs since the pre-order deposits are held in a separate account and not just used as a zero interest loan. According to the company's terms of service, the money “will be held by Rivian in a separate account designated solely for Preorders and released for...
  18. Subaru buying Rivian?

    Oh so that's why Toyota is dragging their heels on BEVs. They would rather buy an EV company as opposed to be content with all the hybrids they sell. /s
  19. XPEL Rivian Factory PPF Q&A -- by XPEL

    Do you mind sharing the name of the shop you went with for both your Y and Rivian? Can you also share a picture of the Rivian? Thanks!
