That's a good question but I am assuming 2023 since I took possession in 2023. But, I did ask my CPA and haven't heard back. Love the silver, much better looking in person.

I know, why are all these alleged CPAs practicing law (mind you in all 50 states) without a license?

I would not read anything "implicitly" into any guidance provided by the IRS or Treasury. They are mostly lawyers and know how to phrase sentences very carefully. Besides, I am sure Rivian had multiple tax lawyers look at the binding contract before they sent it out to us. 1. I agree with...

After I confirmed my pre-order last month, I had a short talk with my guide and he told me that the tonneau option changes the VIN. I am guessing that is what happened to you after you added the manual tonneau cover as they need to assign you a different VIN.

Thanks for clarifying this. Is there a deadline for the recapture? In other words, for how many years do you have to maintain the 50%+ business usage when you take the section 179 deduction?

Thanks for the update! I was planning on testing the factory AT tires on snow before switching to snow tires. In my last truck (1-ton Ram 3500), AT tires did very well on snow and I saw no need for snow tires during Winter. I too spend a lot of time in the Colorado mountains during Winter...

I believe the age is 6 years after which your tire shop will no longer mount them for you because of liability. The week and date of manufacturing is stamped on the tires (e.g., "0521" means week 5 of the year 2021). My local discount tire now recommends rotation at 4k. Faster rotation is...

Thanks for sharing! If/when I get my R1T, I plan to go through the whole vehicle and double-check the bolts/nuts per the issues I have seen on the forums. It sounds like some blue Loctite is in order for the undercover bolts in addition to just tightening them.

I have had the 40A Mustart for 2+ years with no issues and charged various EVs with it, including a BMW, Volvo, Jeep, etc.

I have used EA exclusively for my wife's Volvo XC40 Recharge (sorry no Rivian yet) and it's been great, charging at max every time, and no need to switch or reconnect. I see a lot of people complain about EA though and I am wondering if it's a location thing. The 3 units I have used were brand...

Also forgot to mention that I had the same comment after my initial test-drive (on the 20s) and Rivian acknowledged my question of why they didn't go with 275/60R20 tires to begin with because of price and closeness to the 21 size, but Rivian never responded with an answer. So, as far as I am...

I plan to get the 20's because I live in Colorado and drive to the mountains frequently for skiing during the winter months, so the 22's are not a great option for me. Also, I plan to switch to from the factory 275/65R20 to 275/60R20 after the factory tires wear out for 2 reason: 1. a...

I signed as well. After you put in your email and name and click agree, it should give you another page that tells you to download the PDF version and asks you sign with a wet signature and keep for your tax records. So, based on what you are saying, I don't think yours went through. I am...

I always put PPF on my cars that I plan to drive up to the mountains in Winter. But, I never buy PPF from a manufacturer or dealer. They are much more expensive and often don't wrap the edges or put the best material on (which tends to fade in the Colorado sun). There are plenty of small shops...

Well, one can only hope that AAOS improves and challenges the competition to pick up their game too. So far, AAOS doesn't seem to be a priority though as we have had 2 updates since we got the car in March and they have all been about bug fixes and not features. It's really more an annoyance...

My wife has a 2022 Volvo XC40 Recharge P8 (BEV) with AAOS. I can tell you from experience that it is only good at doing a couple of things well relative to AA, like integrating charging stations on en route and estimating your charge on arrival. Everything else is either non-existent or subpar...

Thanks for the info. I worry about the space between the pin hole and the down shaft. In another post on a different forum, somebody mentioned that the 3 1/8" should really be a 4 1/2" space. They used a Weigh Safe with a 4" drop successfully. The Weigh Safe one doesn't have that tapering...

Thanks for the suggestion, did it work?

Thanks a lot for sharing! Seeing colors in person always makes a difference. I ended up changing my exterior paint choice after seeing a few of the colors in person at the Rivian first mile. None of them had the Ocean Coast though, so seeing your pictures and feedback is very helpful. I have...

Fantastic write up and videos, thanks for sharing! Is it safe to assume you stopped every 130 miles? Did you make the decision to stop based on when you would reach the next charger or a comfort factor?
