A new color is always great way to keep the sales momentum.

The Rivian Blue does stand out on the road. I’m surprised that Rivian didn’t add a new color choice for the 2023 model year.

I’m guessing the Enhanced 100HP increase is done via software.

After a lot of research and recommendations I decided on the $90 Samsung T7 Shield with 1TB...

Losing the $7500 tax credit may affect future R1T orders. This is bad news for corporate as Rivian tries to increase production.

It will be interesting to see how this new IRS ruling affects R1T/S sales. The upcoming Cybertruck should qualify for $7500 credit since the battery packs will be manufactured in the US. If Tesla prices the Dual Motor at $64,990 I predict it’s going to take the wind out of R1T sales...

Goodbye Rivian $7500 tax credit… https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/vw-rivian-nissan-bmw-lose-access-us-ev-tax-credits-2023-04-17/

I was playing around today on the Rivian configurator. They continue to streamline option choices to help with production efficiencies. The $3,850 “All Terrain Upgrade” includes 20" All-Terrain wheels, underbody protection and a matching spare tire. Add another $1k if you want the 20” darks.

I have no issues with the mono wiper. Tesla copied the Ford Lightning powered frunk design. Ford, you started the trend! I have seen the Cybertruck concept in person. It’s one of those vehicles that looks awkward in 2D photos/videos but looks much better in person. The zero curve angular...

I read somewhere that procuring computer chips is the bottleneck for the Bosch motors.

No worries! I’m surprised my OCD personality didn’t catch it. Carrera GT’s have been appreciating in value. One of the best cars that Porsche ever built.

Fixed my typo!

Wow. Buyers who choose the Max Pack will be paying a hefty premium. I noticed the 260+ mile “standard” pack wasn’t listed. I went to the website and the “Performance“ Dual Motor will run you $5,000. Its only 1-second faster than the Dual Motor. I don’t see a lot of buyers checking this option...

Rental cars for their service centers. Has any member returned their vehicle for refund within 7-days?

Your issues must be pretty frustrating on a brand new $80k vehicle. I felt pretty lucky with my 11/22 build. My steering wheel is dead straight, alignment is spot on and no annoying squeaks/rattles. I did have some panel alignment issues that were fixed to my satisfaction.

With our mild Mediterranean climate BEV’s are in their happy place. No extreme hot or cold temperatures for the battery cells to deal with.

It has been exactly 5-days that my R1T has been sitting. Here are some details: -outside carport -Gear Guard off -Rivian app checked once during the week -45 to 67 degree range RESULTS: -Vehicle lost a total of 6% (1.2% per day) -Vehicle lost a total of 18 miles (3.6 miles per day) I am...

Tomorrow morning will be the 5th full day of my R1T sitting idle at home. I will report on vampire drain in the morning.

Yes, I got it this week. We filed our taxes electronically three weeks ago.

Smart financial move. Corporate allowed up to 12 sales calls to reservation holders that cancelled their orders. Up to 12 harassing phone calls to make you reconsider. A move of desperation.
