I just submitted a service ticket for a clunking noise coming from the front end. I was assigned a mid October service date. 3-months out!

Yes, Rivian has axed the 7-day return policy. “Rivian vehicles do not have a return policy.“

The Cybertruck rust issue that was blown way out of proportion for “clicks” is nothing more than iron dust fallout from the train ride that starts in Austin, TX. It happens to all painted vehicles as well. Products are available that will easily remove the iron specks off the SS exterior...

I am most likely going to follow through when I receive my non Foundation Series Cybertruck e-mail invite to order. Elon claims non FS Cybertruck’s will start production in Q3, right around the corner. I have been sitting on my March 5th FS invite but did not order due to the $20k Foundation...

Used R1T’s resale values are plummeting. They will most likely be in the high $40’s by Q1 2025. This link will show 2 R1T’s currently up for auction plus recent sales on the Cars & Bids website. Just remember to tack on the 4.5% buyers fee when looking at sold units...

$67k seems high for a 2022 with 9k miles. Personally I would choose the refreshed 2025 DM standard pack. Over 600 improvements over the 1st generation model. New in house Rivian motors, totally revamped electrical architecture, brand new LFP battery pack, revised suspension, etc.

I would love to hear about vampire drain over a 24 hour period.

More affordable Non-Foundation Series trucks are going into production soon. Reservation holders who want the 600 HP $79,900 AWD version hope the point of sale $7500 tax credit applies. https://insideevs.com/news/723268/tesla-cybertruck-international-foundation/

Tesla leadership stated that their production goal by the of the year is 2500 Cybertrucks a week, 10,000 a month. This works out to an annual production rate of 125,000 trucks per year. Cybertruck’s will be a common site on American roads by next summer.

Tesla is deep into the reservation que right now. TX owners claim that placing a $100K AWD FS order nets you a VIN the following day. It used to take weeks. This is proof that demand is dropping for the expensive FS trucks. The conversion rate is estimated at 3-5%. Elon stated that non-FS...

Not many.

Does the Standard Pack LFP currently qualify for the $7500 tax credit or when the plant goes online this fall?

I predict slow sales for the refreshed 2025 R1. With the $69,900 Dual Motor "loss leader" aside, I don't see many 2022-2024 Quad Motor owners purchasing a 2025 Tri or new Quad due to pricing and negligible exterior changes.

Not redesigning the fugly front end during the refresh was a miss.

I predicted this was going to happen. The coupon would have been a great deal on the $69,900 Dual Motor trim.

I double that. I am also waiting on the non-FS Cybertruck’s to start production. If the 600 HP AWD CT stays at $79,990 and qualifies for the $7500 tax credit I am leaning towards my Cybertruck reservation at $72.5k. Simply a lot more bang for the buck. I like my current R1T but I am not in love...

I hear that. Marketing 101 steers buyers to the pricier trim level for the new paint color. The new 2025 R1‘s are pricey minus the entry level $69,900 Dual Motor LFP trim. I think the DM LFP qualifies for the $3250 tax credit.

The Gen 2 powered tonneau cover for $1500 looks like the way to go.

Entertaining a 2025 Dual Motor LFP but I am going to wait and see if the non Foundation Series AWD Cybertruck is released this year at the estimated $79,990. I have an early reservation and passed on my March 5th FS CT invite. The AWD CT should qualify for the $7500 tax credit since the battery...

The new Dual Motor LFP $69,900 trim appears to be the bargain of the bunch. A lot of improvements under the skin. It appears that the color options are a carry over from 2024. This was a miss by Rivian IMO. I think the refresh was well done. Rivian must have started on the project years ago...
