Call service. Never call your guide (or that has been my experience) for anything not sales related.

Except they have to lower the MSRP to get the tax credit. Maybe that is what they are doing on those deals (they would have to change the Maroney), but post it on the shop price to improve sales. The tax credit isn't based on what you pay it is on MSRP. Believe it or not everyone looking at a...

I think they are trying yo lower prices without, um, lowering prices. I don't get it really. There are many configs that price right above the 80,000 tax credit limitation. If they drop the charge for premium paint half the trucks get the tax credit so the customer picks up another $3750 off...

Not yet. Was told they are having some internal problems and are going to get things moving next week. I was at the plant again Thursday. It sounds like the gps tracking on the vehicles is driving them nuts. Online it said the truck I bought was in Normal, but it isn't. Not even close?. I...

There is no paperwork or guarantee from Rivian you get the tax credit (even though you do). That is between you and your tax preparer (and IRS). It's interesting because they are being sold "as new", but you are accepting the vehicle "as is" which means they are not fixing panel gaps, etc (at...

My truck was delivered with the PTC broke. Took a year and a half to get it fixed. I just traded for a demo without a PTC. I'm just going to get one after market. The "fixed" tonneau is ok, but not great. You can get a more rain resistant one after market for $1500-2000. I've owned six pickups...

Like I said, I don't really care, but it is easily possible for everyone to get an adapter before Tesla access. Rivian just doesn't allow it. Supposedly the billing goes through Rivian. They can just not turn it on until they have essentially all of them sent out. I don't understand the...

I should have been more clear. What he said was everyone should have one about a week before access goes live and anticipated them to start going out 3rd week of March. We'll see.

The only reason I asked that is because I'm trading my R1T on a demo. The sales contact said they plan on sending them all out "the same week ahead of when the access goes live" so it won't matter. We'll see. I survived this long in a non-Tesla charging desert so I think I can make it. People...

Take it for what its worth, but a couple of weeks ago the service guy said we would know it was close when the update came adding Tesla locations to the nav. This update does that. Also said they hoped to send adapters out around 3rd week of March.

Rivian already has a purchase option on the 800 acres across the road (to west) from the current plant. The reason they looked elsewhere for the new plant was the labor pool. Bloomington/Normal is a community of a couple of hundred thousand and already had an outstanding economy. It will be...

I know frustrating, but this is accurate. You can make modifications to the vehicle once you own it, but the manufacturer cannot (not without changing this plate, etc).

This sill be interesting. How the battery AND software hold up over time will tell the tale. There is so much new/better battery technology here already (see Kyle Connors Caterpillar CES vid) I doubt any of these vehicles become to great of s collectors item.

I don't know what it the original sounded like. Mine was broke when the truck was delivered. Why have it flatbedded? Just drive it down and get a loaner. That's what I do. Depends how bad you want it fixed.

Quality control is killing them on the R1 products. The warranty return rate was running over 60 percent (return for warranty within 60 days of sale) when normal is single digits. A new model rushed out the door won't fix that. Plus I'm not sure the anticipated margins per vehicle on the R2 are...

Mine has been fixed. Don't wait for a phone call if it hasn't been fixed. Set a service date when you pick it up. My original tonneau was broke when delivered and it didn't get fixed for 18 months (Dec '23). If you wait on them it never happens. I took the truck in for something else and asked...

I almost pulled the trigger on that very truck when I was looking, but decided I wanted Limestone more than the power tonneau. Had I known the location of my Limestone truck was Orlando and not the Normal the site said I probably would have bought that one. With a VIN that high it has to be one...

I'm close to Normal so maybe a different scenario, but all vehicles have the same warranty. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a shop or demo vehicle. As a matter of fact I just did buy a demo vehicle. Just waiting for it to get to Normal.

You are correct about Normal plant capacity. I said the same on here a few months ago and got hammered for it. GA plant never made any sense (at least now). I've financed so many start ups that went broke because they didn't swallow one expansion before starting the second that I lost count. One...

To my knowledge Rivian doesn't do that except on the lease because they have too (or nobody gets it). But I guess I didn't ask them about it either. Just covered my quarterly estimate so I got it immediately either way.
