To clarify, I mean that I would drive to Portland rather than deal with Bellevue and their terrible scheduling, not that I necessarily feel compelled to do so- They're just too backed up. For what it's worth, the one experience I've had at the Portland SC (just upgrading to 20's- no sales tax!)...
I apologize, looks like I edited and added to my post while you were typing. I highly recommend other SCs that I've been to (the now-closed Auburn was amazing, Seattle was great the few times I've been, and I've got an appointment for a PTC retrofit at Fife in a month) in Washington.
Bellevue...
Which Washington SCs have you been to besides Bellevue?
Also, did your 12v fully die or did the truck advise you to swap it soon? When my 12v was going/gone, my range was dropping very quickly and I was advised to keep it plugged in. I was able to get a next day appointment (10/31/24) at the...
+1 for an R1T once those go into production! Will they be available in the same colors or will you add more to the mix? I'd love a Launch Green and a Red Canyon!
I would bet money that you could very seamlessly make this trip with little to no waits using just the RAN lol. Anecdotally, I’ve only seen a fully packed out RAN maybe twice in almost two years.
I can certainly agree with all of the points made here, but I'd also love to see this program expand into the South Sound area and beyond, especially with a RAN expansion coming to Tacoma and a new SC opening up in Fife.
Rivian sent a brief email about a month ago saying the Space was “temporarily closed”. I reached out to them two days ago for any updates, but the person I spoke to had no new information.
It took me 3-5 days to learn how to use one-pedal driving and now it’s the easiest thing in the world. It’s great in stop-and-go traffic, you really just need to learn how to use it.
I've yet to hear any horror stories from either of the new Seattle area service centers. If the new locations have any of the team from the temporary service center in Auburn, WA, I'd say you'd be in good hands up here. I've got nothing but positive things to say about that location.
Portland...
Exterior and interior detailing would be great! Would love to eventually get ceramic coating down the line and definitely intend to go back to your business to get that done.
