Do you have a Rivian and welcome as a new member of the forum. You cannot tell from anecdotal comments how widely used the frunk is. For quite a few people it is used a lot.
I understand and agree with Rivians decision for not having a powered frunk on R2 and don’t think it is a mistake. But...
Some people may be misunderstanding the emails. If you are in the first wave of people able to order, you will get an email on 9th June saying you can. If you don’t then you are in a later batch.
I totally get why they didn’t do this for R2 even though I use the frunk a lot.
It is like charging speed where some will argue it has to have 400kWh charging speed yet data shows maybe 10-12 fast charging sessions a year. They cannot please everyone.
The strap seems an easy fix for some of the...
I can u sweat and why they didn’t do this for cost. Personally use the frunk often. Would have thought a lot do given the complaints to EVs from other companies that don’t have a frunk.
I don’t have UHF so haven’t seen that. I haven’t chosen to ignore anything (don’t assume and cast aspersions). Seems inconsistent between users with many on these forums saying they are happy with it (highlighting some limitations like window venting) and others with more serious issues.
Sorry it broke things for you. My experience, and it seems like from many others, is that it didn’t break anything and it enhanced people’s experiences. It largely worked and I am happy to have something at 80% and improve rather than wait for the elusive 100% perfect product.
we all know it will not be 13% in reality. Just like Compass Yellow was popular on this forum and scored well in surveys but in reality unfortunately did not sell well. Even Red Canyon (which I have) has not sold that well (5%) and was withdrawn for a short time. Purple will sell less well than red.
I am getting 20s so I don’t get your aggressive ending in the first paragraph. Especially when you start out ok on admitting your initial error. Should have left it at that.
Instead of being reasonable and admitting you were wrong on release dates you dismiss it and move to a different topic. Just admit you had some info wrong and then go from there.
Full customer r1T deliveries were very late 2021 and R1S was August 2022. RJ said it was a learning not to launch three vehicles (EDV included) within a year of each other.
Thanks for this information, interesting g there is a $13k difference between trade in and dealer resale. I wonder if VWLindsay could comment on whether that is typical.
It gets you the capability to swap out the tire if the fix a flat cannot fix the issue. Not all punctures can be fixed with a can. So you are buying piece of mind and greater chances of resolving any issue.
Agree, don’t expect them to raise prices until early next year when they have achieved the goals for this year including point to point. Then raise it before the RAP1/lidar to capture some income from those who waited.
