  1. How Tesla Fumbled

    I wanted to grab that quote in case you edited it. So by pre-Tesla EV industry, you refer the the Nissan Leaf or maybe Honda Insight or industry penetrators like those? Don't hate on the guy for politics. It's obvious and petty.
  2. How Tesla Fumbled

    Amazing, he fires a few deadbeats in public and you start rewriting his history. What about the SpaceX thing? Hint: It's still the same guy he always was!
  3. How Tesla Fumbled

    "It" showed one graph or author showed one graph ? :CWL: Elon invented the EV industry because he took risks for his beliefs while everyone else was too chicken to try. They fawned over him for 15 years, then they give up on the guy in 6 months because he happens to not be politically aligned...
  4. How Tesla Fumbled

    Listened to 15 mins of that. I determined the author doesn't like Elon Musk (for political reasons). I need to recoup 15 mins somehow.
  5. Just Took Delivery 2-21-23 -- Initial Thoughts

    Limestone looks exceptionally good with black wheels. Congrats!
  6. 2 weeks after switching model to R1T, I got an email !

    UPDATE: The 'first mile' test drive is tomorrow, and I specifically requested Ocean Coast. This is my first/last chance to see if I hate Ocean Coast interior or not. Provided the test drive goes well, I'm on track for this blue LE to be in Miami in about 3 weeks. My VIN has been audited...
  7. Catastrophic Failure?

    OP has one thread (this one) and 6 messages. Perhaps when things get fixed, OP should post a bit more of their good times to balance things out. People might get wrong impression, statistically speaking. The problem here is the mis-diagnosis from the Rivian service team. They need to do...
  8. Cracked Pano Glass... From The Inside

    Anyone notice a projectile hit on their Rvian glass and NOT get a crack? I need some anecdotal evidence to over-rely on.
  9. Motortrend's Rivian R1T Yearlong Review: Winter Snowstorms Tire Out Our Electric Pickup (but it handled everything the mountain threw at it)

    Here is the title: Rivian R1T Yearlong Review: Winter Snowstorms Tire Out Our Electric Pickup Here are the final 2 paragraphs: " Thankfully roadside assistance was but a phone call away—three hours later, armed with a new wheel and tire, I was back on the road and headed home. This wasn't...
  10. Shifting to Model 3...

    Nothing wrong with buying another car after making a deposit on the Rivian. Its a temporary situation that will be undone when the R1T arrives. ;)
  11. After two and a half weeks with my R1S...

    Base wheels (sans covers) look great on an S. :like:
  12. Socal Timelapse Drive at Sunset

    I likey. In that lapse, it seems to stabilize independently of the truck. Can you post a pick of your camera gear?
  13. Early 'influencer' reviews didn't age so well

    Well, some of these guys are the reason Rivan made the change in the first place. In fact one of the recent updates cited 'Thanks, Zack" right in the release notes. Just saying, Zack should go back and amend, or at least acknowledge the update (and take credit), not just make a new vid with the...
  14. Early 'influencer' reviews didn't age so well

    It seems the recent software updates took care of a lot of gripes mentioned in multiple early (2021) Rivian reviews, and there is a lot of other low hanging fruit that will be fixed soon. I lot of these reviewers need to go back and amend some of those because they are wrong just at the point...
  15. Delivery delayed because I was price locked?

    This advice worked for me. I'm 3 weeks out instead of a year. Switching to a T wasn't so hard mentally, either. Here's how I reasoned it...Consider, it will take them another year to figure out how to dampen the compressor sound inside the cabin of the S, and the shorter wheelbase makes for...
  16. Decent option for front windshield sun shade

    The wrinkly rolling kind look like crap and out of place on a $80K vehicle. The folding ones are over-priced and heavy. Take it from a Florida guy, the best shades are the super light twisty ones. Don't even fold them when not in use, just toss in the back seat and develop a habit to use it...
  17. R1T Shop have any Launch Editions ?

    That one still available to me. If we don't all see the same shop results, then it must be regional.
  18. Loan rates?

    DCU still awesome.... 4.99% for 60. Link: DCU - Digital Credit Union in MA
  19. R1T Shop have any Launch Editions ?

    That one may be, but I was offered to convert my Adventure to one of five just-built 2023 blue Launch Edition w/o auto tonneau, for original pricing. Delivery from Normal is 3 weeks out after start of 8 step. Naturally, I converted my order to one of these. The other 4 may be sold by now, but...
