  1. Brand New R1S Repainted Before Delivery

    Take Rivian up on the buy back offer. Repainting in a typical auto body shop is never as durable as a factory applied baked on paint finish.
  2. No Cybertruck for me :(

    Smart financial decision. Check out this CarMax offer regarding a 3k mile Cybertruck. https://insideevs.com/news/706496/tesla-cybertruck-sell-carmax-offer-buy-price/
  3. First dent - any trouble accessing behind the quarter panel? :(

    I took a magnet to mine. The truck has aluminum panels except for the truck bed stamping which is steel.
  4. R2 Product Launch at Laguna Beach on March 7th!

    Rivian needs to bait the hook for future buyers. I hope they altered the headlight styling.
  5. FYI: R1S trade-in quote from Rivian = $69.5K

    Resale values are definitely heading downward. Today this 9400 mile 2022 R1T sold for $60,500 + a 4.5% buyers fee. The Cars & Bids owner predicts $50’s for the R1T in roughly a year. https://carsandbids.com/auctions/KPGam48V/2022-rivian-r1t-adventure-edition
  6. My Rivian R1T Repurchase / Buyback Experience & Replacement

    NEVER, NEVER take delivery of a new vehicle under inclement weather conditions. It’s impossible to make an inspection of a vehicle.
  7. Electric Cars Are Already Upending America

    Non Tesla owners will also be paying a a higher kWh price the privilege of using a Tesla Supercharger.
  8. No Available Appointments at Costa Mesa Service Center?

    Bad experience at CM service center as well. I had two panels adjusted because they were out of alignment. The one panel was adjusted worse then when I dropped it off. Very frustrating to say the least. I don’t feel that anyone is performing QC before returning vehicles to customers.
  9. Electric Cars Are Already Upending America

    We stress when taking road trips in our Rivian R1T. We are relaxed when taking round trips in our Tesla Model Y. The Tesla Supercharging experience is vastly superior. Back in, plug in and walk away. No CC's, PIN numbers, etc.
  10. Is Bosch Quad going away?

    A 1,000 + HP Quad Enduro powered truck would be awesome. I see a lot of owners trading in to own one. 2.2 seconds 0-60 time?
  11. Cybertruck AWD now $$99,990, price increased AGAIN today 12/28/23

    Tesla is rumored to be receiving 10k CT reservation per week since the 11/30 production reveal.
  12. Cybertruck AWD now $$99,990, price increased AGAIN today 12/28/23

    You can’t blame Tesla. They are simply tapping into demand by targeting affluent reservation holders who have no qualms forking over $100k - $120k to be a first adopter. The $80k AWD and $100k CyberBeast “normal” versions sold to “normal” reservation holders will probably happen in Q2.
  13. Cybertruck. The beauty isn’t even skin deep.

    The Tesla Cybertruck is rumored to receive 10k reservations per week since the production reveal on 11/30. The Cybertruck will keep the Austin assembly line and the future Mexico assembly plant humming along for many, many years. There is clearly a demand for the polarizing Cybertruck.
  14. Tons of Amazon vans at factory. Drone view

    The mobile technicians are going to love working out of those roomy vans. Working off an R1T that is crammed full of tools has to be a PITA.
  15. Cybertruck. The beauty isn’t even skin deep.

    3mm is incorrect. Tesla uses 1.8mm (door skins) and 1.4mm HFS (Hard -ucking Steel) stainless steel panels for the Cybertruck. For reference a US quarter is 1.75mm thick. Thanks to a new proprietary SS formula designed by their material science engineers they were able to thin down the concept...
  16. Mods For Less Cartoonish Front End?

    I don’t think it would be too hard for an aftermarket company to offer a more aggressive front end kit judging by this R1T that suffered collision damage. My guess is the kit would be a minimum of $5k due to totally new new headlights, front fascia, etc.
  17. CyberTruck is more than Stainless Steel...Tesla excels at Engineering in so many ways.

    The Cybertruck is ugly as hell. As a day 2 reservation holder I can’t wait for delivery!
