Even though they don't show them in the shop, Rivian will sell you just the wheels and TPS. Call the same number as if you would for buying tires, and then just ask. I just got some wheels and snow tires delivered from EV Sportsline. 20 inch nokian, they sell the wheels, tires, and TPS...
Thought I’d come back and close the loop on this in case someone else is thinking of getting this. Unfortunately the yellow’s are definitely a little different. See the watch strap v compass yellow. The Nomad is definitely a lot more ‘yellow’ than the rivian.
Slightly similar here - especially the not wanting to post details in case I jinxed it.
I put in a reservation earlier this year, and then a few weeks back (December 1st), after seeing multiple comments here from people asking if they could delay configuring / locking in, decided to contact...
Added mine, also picked up Friday. I got tired of waiting (I reserved Feb 2023 - although realize that's later than many) - so contacted Rivian - told them I was ready to buy now, and literally 2 hours later they had found the vehicle I wanted. 2 weeks later I was driving away in it. If...
I realize this isn't answering your question, but did you consider selling it to Rivian as part exchange for your R1S ? While you may get offered less than you could get in a private sell, it reduces the tax burden of the new purchase.
@Kenmecca - does that stay powered on all the time, or does it power off when you lock / walk away ? I'm looking for a clean way to power my radar detector, but don't want it to drain while the vehicle isn't being used. thanks
Hmmm, this is a little disappointing if it's a common experience.. I drive I-70 all the time, will pick up my R1S tomorrow. I'll be heading to Leadville and back next week, so guess I'll find out. I'll post if I hit the same issue.
I'm hopefully picking my R1S on Friday in Denver, had a friend get one yesterday. Supposedly they're REALLY REALLY busy down there, so maybe... maybe... I'll ask them when I'm there how many they're getting out each month. I did read on another thread that Rivian are specifically pushing out...
Although it always feels a bit misleading when these news outlets put the word 'recall' in the header. It's a software update that'll happen at home automatically. The car isn't being 'recalled' back to the dealer or shop.
Still, it seems a lot of drivers - tesla and others - think they can...
@ajthejuice - nice, thanks. And the rims / wheels look good ? I just got confirmed for delivery of my R1S for this Friday, so may go ahead and order now. Dumb question - but did the nokian tires come inflated on the rims or not ? I was going to order the bottle jack, and try and do myself...
Once the supercharger network is available, that makes the extra cost for the max pack seem even greater for the limited additional KWH it buys. Many here have had teslas, and know that range anxiety isn't 'a thing' when you can use superchargers.
I'm getting the 'free' 21s on mine so I can use in the warmer months, then spend that $3500 'savings' on some real snow tires and just swap out. Pretty much same price, and now you have 2 sets (lots of different tire options)...
I'm hoping to get my R1S next weekend. I talked to my guide on Friday about wheels. He said Rivian, while they don't show them in the shop, will sell you a set of rims separately without tires. He said to call the number you see in the shop for tires, but then ask for the rims. Although a...
@ajthejuice - actually - when the tracking even gives you the guesstimated date, would you mind sharing that too ? I've been told I might get an R1S delivery late next week, so now I'm tempted to buy some snow tires / wheels now and switch them out shortly after the vehicle arrives. It does...
So that's a 'yes' on the bet ? You posted while I was writing, but I'll still take it. I do mean it - if you're right, I'll send you $100. If it's true, then that's great news for Rivian stock, so I'd be happy either way. I just find it really really hard to believe.... I can't imagine...
