I'd rather see them revise the section 179 code. The majority of Rivian owners I know in Los Angeles are claiming the 179 rather than the EV credit anyway.
Less of a big deal for the R1 series which are aimed at customers who will buy regardless of the credit, but more of an issue for R2 and other lower priced vehicles that need an incentive.
This is the one that's been working great with my cover - https://3inone.com/product/3-in-one-rvcare-window-track-dry-lube/
I just spray down the rails when open and at the seams between each slate when closed once a month.
I had trouble with the connection the first time I hooked up my trailer, but I just re-seated the connection and it's been fine since. I just make sure it's totally pushed in when I hook it up.
The range calculations are also not incredibly reliable when starting out, so definitely use your...
This might be the first time I've heard it being able to drive out after a failure like that. Did It just go in to limp mode?
Glad you are out and it's off to be fixed.
I got the cream of the crop - Launch edition, Launch Green, Forest Edge, AT Tires, Offroad package etc.
If I would have missed out on Launch Edition, I probably would spec the same with Forest Green.
Some days I see Forest Green drive by and think maybe it's a better green for the long run...
I vehemently detest the gamification of cars with app icons and merit badges of any kind. What's the point of a 26.2 sticker or symbol on your car? Or the Jesus fish ? Or the COEXIST Sticker? Putting them on a light bar does not make them better.
That seems like a good benchmark. I'm at about 5300-5000 lbs with my loaded horse trailer and get maybe 1-1.3 mi/kWh depending on the drive. I just use 1 mi per kWh as my basis when planing a tow for now.
I bought this one form EV Sportline. I was going to cut my own, but got lazy. I can confirm that this mat fits great and doesn't move when driving 80mph in the wind with no cover.
Car manufacturers have realized it's much easier to give interviews with "youtubers" or "influencers" because they are not journalists and not subject tot the same ethics. They can even pay them or give them special gifts etc. Auto journalists still receive perks on press launches in terms of...
I would suggest calling Rivian Customer service and asking for a support lead. Explain to them that you are a long time reservation holder and not getting accurate timeline information from your guide and ask if they can enable shop access for you.
Other than that, you are at the mercy of...
I still suspect the powered tonneau option is dead. I think they'll try to offer this fix for the existing customers or maybe a retrofit to the manual cover, but I don't think they'll offer it again on new R1Ts. I just think it's always going to be prone to issues from dirt and debris getting...
