  1. Discovered new way to unlock! Tap phone on door handle

    Sounds like this feature (holding phone to door handle instead to unlock instead of using proximity unlock or manually unlocking with the app) works on Gen2 vehicles, but not Gen1, based on the replies.
  2. Finally - A pull through charger

    The RAN chargers in Cookeville, TN are all pull-through. One of them is designated for "trailers only" so you don’t block a charger.
  3. Huge drop of available demo vehicles in online shop

    Having the full warranty starting the day the truck is picked up, the $3,750 federal tax credit, low miles (mine had 27 miles on it), no previous owners, new car financing rate, and not having to wait 2 weeks for Rivian to transfer ownership into my name (in order to use the app and charge at...
  4. Discovered new way to unlock! Tap phone on door handle

    This does not work for me either. I locked the doors manually on my Gen 1, then waited a minute or two and tried holding my phone (latest model Samsung Fold phone with NFC/UWB) to the driver door handle. No dice. NFC is turned on. I tried unlocking the phone, made sure the Rivian App is open...
  5. Discovered new way to unlock! Tap phone on door handle

    I have a Gen 1 truck, and a Samsung Z Fold 6 (which has NFC/UWB). I keep proximity lock/unlock turned off at home. I'm going to have to try this when I get home later...
  6. Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    Wish I could be of more help, but I did not have a trade in for my demo purchase earlier this year. Rivian's trade in offer was much lower than even Carvana, CarMax, etc. My 2022 was also advertised as "new" with "100 miles", but when I got there it actually only had 27 miles on the odometer...
  7. Rivian NACS Adapters begin arriving!

    Received my "Your NACS DC adapter is ready to be shipped" email this afternoon. May 23rd, 2024 delivery. (demo model purchase)
  8. Center Console Organizer - finally back in stock

    I ordered the console organizer Friday. I like that it's two levels. Hope I'm not disappointed! $45+tax is pretty steep.
  9. Excellent Delivery Experience- R1S tri picked up Franklin Service center

    Glad to hear you had a really positive experience with the folks at the Franklin (Nashville) service center. I'm in east Tennessee just north of Knoxville, so my closest SC is Franklin. Haven't had to use it yet in the 6 months/8.1k miles I've owned the truck, "knock on wood".
  10. RAN Price Increase?

    My "go to" RAN charger in Cookeville, TN just went to $0.46 from $0.36. Most Tesla chargers around here appear to be $0.51 according to the Rivian app, so whenever I get my adapter, I may be inclined use a supercharger if it's in a more convenient location...
  11. Tennessee, anyone?

    I'm about 30 minutes north of Knoxville. I picked up a demo model El Cap LE R1T back in May. I've been driving a company car though the week and my R1T on the weekends. On the weekends I'm running errands with it, towing my travel trailer or using it to ferry my daughter to/from Vanderbilt...
  12. Anyone purchased the vehicle without test drive?

    No test drive here. My first time ever driving any EV was on my 4.5 hour journey from Richmond, VA back to east TN with my new (demo) R1T. No regrets!
  13. Do you always carry keyfob or just keycard?

    PAAK for me. I keep a key card in my wallet as back up, though. The first few days I had my Rivian I clipped the keyfob on my belt loop like I've done with all my other vehicles, but quickly realized it was sort of redundant. It's been stored away at home ever since.
  14. Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    Ouch, no, I didn't have any property tax junk when I bought mine back in May. You didn't own the vehicle in 2022 or 2023, so that seems absurd.
  15. Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    Yes, Rivian offers financing but it's likely higher interest than what you can find locally. I ended up financing through my regular credit union. And yes, since they have never been titled they are considered "new". You may even qualify for a point of sale EV tax credit ($3,750) if your...
  16. Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    Good deal: Bryce with the delivery team was especially great. Great communication. If you end up speaking with Bryce, tell him Patrick from Tennessee said hello and had nothing but good things to say! I drove a rental car the 6.5 hours from an Enterprise Rent-a-car in Clinton, TN to...
  17. Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    Following up with my progress: I picked up my 2022 El Cap/Ocean Coast quad R1T demo on Thursday. It was advertised to have 100 miles on the odometer, but actually only had 27 miles on it. The truck is super clean and still had the screen protectors on all 3x screens inside. Still had the...
  18. Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    My progress so far: Reserved a vehicle through the Demo Shop on Friday, May 17th. Sent a message to the Guide that I've been working with (like he instructed earlier that day if I found a model I like) so he could transfer the VIN to his supervision. He sent the request via an email within a...
