If you do decide to cancel I would at least try to see if Tesla will give you your 1K production deposit back. Just because they say its non-refundable doesn't mean it is. The other possible "get out of jail" card is to simply refuse to sign the agreement that states you can't sell the vehicle...

I love how the solution is to drive forwards, but I have no space to drive forwards in my garage.

Rivian tries to spread the love around. Highways don't get all the Rivian bacon. Mine hasn't shutdown ever. It just enjoys tocking to me.

I don't understand It's just a request. It's not an ultimatum, and its not even CT exclusive. Getting a Tesla is not an idiotic decision in itself so your SO isn't even trying to save you from an idiotic decision. Your SO is simply being selfish. haha.

It's really a double edged sword. On the one hand its incredible to get a vehicle which has useful features its never had before like Gear Guard. On the other hand its also been leveraged as a way to sell a vehicle BEFORE the FW is ready. A good example of this is Driver+. The ability to do...

That was me while watching Dumb Money on Netflix.

If I encountered a bug like that I'd probably report it to a forum to see how wide spread it was. If its widespread then I probably won't report it. If its just me I'd try doing various reboots to see if it cleared, and if it didn't then I'd contact Rivian.

You didn't really contact Rivian unless you were instructed on three ways to do a vehicle reboot. :p I can't report anything without a "did you try restarting the vehicle"

I'm confused by why you're assuming its a finance and accounting issue, and not purely a profitability question. From a legal standpoint Rivian was never obligated to honor the reservation pricing. They only decided to honor the reservation pricing due to an enormous levels of cancelations...

For me its more about the fact that the sound exists, and how I can still hear it even with music playing. The sound does change depending on regen level, temperature, etc. There are times where I don't really notice it that much, and other times where it is bothersome. I'm by far the...

For me it comes down to quality of it, and the simplicity of the install. As soon as one is available that meets those two criteria's then I'll buy it. I'm not going to wait for Rivians.

Not only is it global, but their factories are iterative as well. Like for awhile China made better cars than the US because the factory applied all the lessons learned from the Fremont factory. What I find interesting is its often Chinese regulators that bring Tesla to task on things as...

How is this any different than what Tesla has done all along? They constantly ship things before their ready. This is after all a company that promised full self driving that ended up not being full self driving at all. They also pulled stunts like disabling the radar before the Vision only...

That's a post in the thread about the Lectron adapter. Now does this other adapter need its own thread? Probably not, and in fact its a bit detrimental in that it loses all the good information contained within the other thread. But, I certainly wouldn't hold it against someone for choosing...

First time I came across this one. I did see the Lectron post, but that's a different one. As to new I first saw the OP on the Tesla Motors Club forum years ago.

But, isn't all the backlash against the OP really just people arguing about how to spend money? The OP presented a rational reason to buy the adapter, and they clearly said it was for the adventurous who want to try something as soon as its available. That you couldn't even try it now. For the...

In VIN's around mine (6XXX) the amount that had the tock was about 60% (or more) based on some thread polls. These days we don't even have thread polls as Rivian took care of the issue for later builds. They made a bunch of changes to either greatly reduce it or eliminate it. The service...

I think this company is fully banking on FOMO (Fear of missing out) to sell their adapter. Where they plan on leveraging supply shortages to get people to buy their adapter. For example if you bought their adapter today then the second a non-magic dock Tesla Supercharger opens up to CCS...

It's hard to let go of something that is perfect for my use case. I figured as more Rivians are on the road without the tock then they won't be able to claim "they all tock". At any rate I'm going to be putting so many miles on it that it will hide any reduction in resale value due to the...

A lot of these cold weather charging issues seem to be due to a combination of infrastructure issues along with so many new EV owners this year. Somewhere around 1.2 million EV's were sold in the US in 2023, and all those people are new to experiences with EV's. New owners don't typically know...
