BMW can't finish production of 10,000 cars over chip crunch (msn.com) "
Same problem in the motorcycle world. I took delivery of a '21 BMW R1250RT in late April...
Fortunately I did not sell my low mileage 2017 Canyon back to the dealer a month ago when they offered me over 85% of what I paid for it new. I figured the R1T would show up by Fall, but now I have to plan on bolting the winter wheels/tires back onto the Canyon and wait for the R1T to show up...
No shortage of water where I live but I suggest you have your Rivian ceramic coated - makes keeping a vehicle clean much easier, as well as minimizing minor scratching and swirl marks.
I've read lots of people bad-mouthing Chrysler products over the years, but between 1995 and 2010 we had 3 Dodge Grand Caravans - all on 3 year leases. Other than a bad wiper motor, I can't recall any problems we had with them. They hauled lots of kids and gear around to a lot of places. I...
My son put in a reservation for a Bolt EUV and got the LE. I tried to get one a few days after him but it was closed for LE. He just learned this week that his has been built, but no arrival date to the dealer. My dealer tells me that they should be receiving non-LE editions in September...

Of course - but I'm using 'August event' as a time marker for whenever that happens - since that is all we know at this point. No point in finalizing my order with a Guide before I actually see the vehicle and colors, etc.
I plan on driving down to Detroit (3.5 hrs) for the event there - really want to see a variety of colors in person. My R1T LE order is 6612 so hopefully the Guide will be contacting me relatively soon after the August event...
I'm not suggesting that more demand for Rivians is necessary now - according to recent poling I have seen, and folks I speak to, the majority of car buyers are not going to buy an EV next anyway. But when these buyers begin considering an EV purchase in a few years, if they are not familiar...
Well-funded yes, but in the grand scheme of the highly competitive automotive industry they are unknown. Nobody I have mentioned Rivian to in the past 2.5 years have heard of them - most being car enthusiasts and/or ecologically minded. Two or three years from now there are going to be dozens...
