  1. R1S updated estimated delivery window email (received June 11)

    Yep, they’ll send an email right after the two week window, saying they really meant in July all along. Then they’ll increase the chocolate ration from thirty to 25 grams
  2. R1T updated estimated delivery window email (received June 11)

    Preach, brother ;). In effect, we backed a really expensive kickstarter, and now we are being ignored. You sir, are an artist. Rivian should hire you as the new communications director. It would be hard for them do do worse than they are currently…
  3. R1T updated estimated delivery window email (received June 11)

    I just did, and was told a few things: There are still emails waiting to go out, so if you haven't gotten one yet that doesn't mean you're definitely pushed into 2023. She said she was still seeing my original delivery window, but that was subject to change by the email. I could not get her...
  4. R1T updated estimated delivery window email (received June 11)

    I really hope that's not correct. My last delivery window (from 12/2021 email) was Oct-Dec 2022. I got the non-update update, which promised an update within the next two weeks. I fall into the original "2022 delivery window" tranche with my October 2019 deposit. No followup yet
  5. R1S update email from Rivian (June 11)

    FWIW I received the ā€œnon-updateā€ update as well a few minutes ago 10/6/2019 preorder, previously had an Oct-Dec 2022 delivery window, not sure what to expect now.
  6. Introducing the R1 Shop... Email Communication

    Me too. Oct 6, 2019. No guide. In December 2021 got the email with a Oct-Dec 2022 delivery window
  7. Had my First Drive... very impressed, but will now almost certainly cancel my pre-order.

    Totally agree. I’ve been driving a long time, and have always paid cash for used cars. As my resources grew, the used cars became nicer ( a couple of almost new Porsches, several high end BMWs, several mercedes) but they were always ā€œinterestingā€ cars which I flipped or passed down in the family...
  8. Introducing the R1 Shop... Email Communication

    I did, October 2019 preorder. I have an October-December delivery window, and last week got an email response from a question at the beginning of may--was told my delivery window still on track, and the there might be an opportunity to move up since a have a "prioritized configuration"(LA...
  9. Get Ready for the Purchase Process Email

    That's interesting. I got one, October 2019 preorder (R1S) with Oct-Dec 22 delivery window.
  10. R1S Owners Guide Manual Available! ? (August 22, 2022)

    This depends on the HUD and the sunglasses. It is variable. If it's important see the HUD and wear polarized lenses you can generally tilt your head a bit to read the HUD, or try a different brand of sunglasses The difficulty in reading LCD screens and HUDs is one of the reasons that...
  11. General thoughts on ICE depreciation?

    My daily driver for over seen years has been a Tesla model S, so I get your point, but remember there are non-trivial externalities to EVs as well. In our lifetimes there will almost certainly be tasks that chemically fueled vehicles do better (quick long distance travel, towing) simply because...
  12. Rivian pricing has rolled back to "pre March 1" for previous order holders

    FWIW I just logged into my account at Rivian and my preorder has reverted to the pre March 1 pricing, with the exception that the tow hooks are now included. As a data point, I preordered an R1S on October 6, 2019. When the configurator went live I passed on the Launch Edition because the Max...
  13. Tiger stripes in hood paint

    I almost hate to post this, as I’m not super anal about these things, but here goes: I agree with everybody that the striping is pretty bad, and I’d need that fixed. But, is anybody else worried about the hood alignment? Is it unlatched? It looks to me like the bottom of the hood does...
  14. Can a garage floor support 2 Rivians?

    I'd look at it this way: If the floor -does- collapse under the weight of two Rivians, it won't drop too far and the Rivians will be able to climb back out in "Rock Crawling" mode. You could leave it like that and have a little adventure everytime you backed out of the garage. Or--you could...
  15. R1T & R1S Updated Pricing, Configuration, Specs. Dual Motor Now Available

    Nope, my 2019 order appears to be affected. I’m really unhappy about this. I was a fairly early adopter of Tesla, long before the supercharger network was built out. I took a risk on them, and have been very happy with the car. Tesla, for the company’s faults, has always honored pricing at...
  16. Upcoming "First Mile" Mobile Test Drive Cities Announced - Chicago, Dallas, Denver, LA, Seattle, San Francisco

    As a Tesla owner since 2015, I notice that the "Rivian corridor of sadness" includes much of what we called "The Great Supercarger Desert" centered more or less on the state of Arkansas. When I bought my car, there wasn't a supercharger within its range from my house. For a couple of years...
  17. A very cool range estimator

    Same here. My daily driver for 7 years has been a Model S 85D. Iā€˜ve driven it mostly between mid 30s and 90s with temperature making little difference in that range. Part of that may be that the car is usually parked in a partly heated garage and doesn’t cold soak unless I’m at work or...
  18. Ceramic brakes?

    I'm very skeptical that range gains would approach 50 miles from switching to carbon rotors. That would be about 16% or so which is a -huge- number. 50 miles on the plaid is from a much higher baseline range, is the incremental gain is less significant. Also, the Tesla is vastly more...
