I thought about selling in the early days due to concern with long term reliability, but I didn't want to sell it until it was fixed. It's still not fixed. Like actual fixed and not "fixed" If I hold myself to do that I might never sell it. We'll just be a pair of broken old farts. The...

I had a Model S between 2015 and 2018, and then a Model 3P from 2018 to 2022. In my experience issues with the chargers were really rare, and crowding was way more of a concern especially towards the end of my Tesla ownership experience due to the sheer number of Tesla's on the road. When...

Nothing is attached to it. I'm now actually thinking it might be the other cable, and not the one that was attached during charging.

The most questionable thing is really the stupid comment. Everyone knows EA doesn't rebuild anything the day its broken. It's takes them months to fix anything. Plus they wouldn't be rebuilding anything, but taking things for further investigation. I'm not surprised by the failure to post...

In the Seattle Rivians Owners group (on FB) someone posted a photo that showed the charger plug on the ground with the cable not being cut. So I'm curious if the fire department removed the charger from the Port? Or what exactly happened. I can't imagine unplugging it while the charger is on fire.

My theory is expensive vehicles lose their value quickly because a significant percentage of the buyers have no issues burning money on vehicles. They'll buy a vehicle and then sell it within 6-12 months because it's not the shiny thing anymore. They're not flipping for money, but flipping out...

Backlog plus service result would be very helpful. To see what the average backlog is, and to see if the service department actually fixed the issue. Hopefully it won't be limited to Rivian, but would include Tesla as well due to similar service model.

I think they need to split up the location where deliveries happen and where service happens. One of the reasons one of my service appointments was delayed by a good week or two while my vehicle sat was that deliveries were taking precedence. They also need a larger location for the Amazon...

I think Rivians Service issues go well beyond just a specific Service Center. I honestly don't think they even know how to solve some of the problems some of us are having. Like my vehicle has been to Service Centers repeatedly due to the tok noise. The first couple of appointments barely...

That's solid logic, but I can't bring myself to buy the one on Amazon. Somehow in my little brain the only correct way to buy a Matchbox R1T is when I'm walking through a store when getting something else. I'm not allowed to buy it on Amazon I'm not allowed to venture to a dollar store...

I doubt this is true. Instead I think a lot of buyers like off-roading capabilities even if they're rarely going to take it off-road. The off-roading capabilities is one of many reasons why I traded in my Tesla Model 3P on a Rivian R1T. I wanted an adventure vehicle that could go almost...

I think its pretty painless for the service depart to switch out steering wheels so I don't think you'd have much issues in getting them to do a swap. My steering wheel was switched due to the heater part not working on the lower half. I'm still not happy with the heated performance aspects...

PTC = When you can't spell tonneau :P

It's painful to see the same truck, color, and iKamper Mini get so brutalized. I hope the guy behind you got his text out before plowing into you. That is the most important thing apparently. :P I just don't get why its so important for people to be messing with their phones, and following so...

I think what we're going to see long term is differentiation of the higher end quad-motor R1T/R1S, and the lower end models. First with the dual-motor variants and then the R2. Where the average price paid will trend down as people are buying more lower end. The pre-price hike buyers are...

I agree with this, but there is a workaround at least with an iPhone. With an iPhone you can deny bluetooth access to the Rivian app. This is what I do to prevent my Rivian from waking up and flashing the taillights at me when I'm simply walking through the garage. Sure I can't use the phone...

It's interesting that there is this impression that a product is garbage if its available on Amazon. When I went searching for an adapter I had the choice between the Lectron Adapter, and the Tesla Tap. At the time neither of them were available on Amazon which annoyed me because I wanted fast...

It seems to me that you're referring to a hypothetical situation that involves a lot of factors that aren't in play in your situation. Post March Price increase of the highest possible amount. No tax credit -> They play into resale so you have to account for them High mileage (to bring the...

Yeah, I'm not sure how the math checks out on that one. Pre-March price increase versus todays used price is close to a wash, and a gain if including the $7500 tax credit. Post-March price increase versus todays used price is likely around a $10K-$15K drop. Post-March price increase versus a...

I imagine for quite a few of us the off-road capabilities were a nice to have, but wasn't a major factor. With that being said those of like myself who tried the off-road capabilities likely enjoyed the experience enough to want to it some more. The experiences of others will likely weigh on...
