I put my pre-order for the R1T, unfortunately, not long after the price hike, and with the change in the tax credit I started taking a hard look at the price difference between the R1T I planned to order and the price that those who were flipping theirs were asking. I had signed the binding...
Thank you all for your advice. I just put a deposit down on one at an out of state car dealer. For anyone that has done it how hard is the ownership transfer process?
I appreciate the sentiment. I keep going back or forth. Tonneau is really my only have-to. I do think that Rivian will likely have some sort of fix for generation 1 covers. I am a little swayed by finding vehicles, that have the 12V up front, which I intended for my travel cooler, as well...
I am coming from 9 years of Tesla ownership, and have had a pre-order in for an R1T for about 6 months, unfortunately right after the price hike. I am coming from a Performance 3 and a P100D. Yesterday I finally got to do the test drive, and I am beyond impressed. In addition to my Tesla, I...
I have two of the Tesla chargers hooked to a 100 amp line for our two EVs. I got the line initially installed because my first Model S had dual chargers onboard and could charge at 80 up to amps. When they came out with their newer generation that could load share, I switched to two of...
I don't think it is every mile any longer. From what I understand that was the case in the past, now 51% has to be business, 49% can be for personal use.
I am not an accountant and would not make the move unless my own approves it. Lying about it seems like such a risky move. From what I understand, the deduction seems pretty generous and reasonable, allowing you to claim it if you only use the vehicle for 51% business. Still waiting to get a...
I would be happy with power of any sort up there. I could make do with either 12v, or 120v. The outlet costs are essentially negligible and are not some sophisticated component, but a dumb plug, not like a microchip impacted by global shortages. Taking it away seems like a real miss to me...
Has Rivian ever officially said anything about removing the 12 volt outlet from the frunk? I know they may have removed it due to lack of use, or I can’t imagine for a parts shortage being it is just a 12v outlet. I may be an edge case but I have a 12v powered cooler I was really looking...
Thank you for posting this. I have an LLC and had inquired about this when purchasing a Model X in the past from my previous accountant, who did not think I could do it. I just asked this again from my current accountant who I have much more faith in. Waiting for a reply.
As a 5 time Tesla owner and with a Rivian Preorder and owner of Rivian stock, I hope that Rivian will be able to lower prices in the future as the market gets more options and the battery and production capacity increases. Tesla has in the short term, increased their prices multiple times this...
Range matters to a lot of people, those that are new to EVs, and those that plan to trailer among others. If Rivian can find some way to make the max pack happen, that will be another big differentiator between them and the rest of the emerging market. Keeping my fingers crossed as both having...
I placed a pre-order beginning of August, and signed the binding agreement before the law was passed. So would you conjecture that there is a likelihood of being able to take delivery in 2023 for an R1T quad motor? Thanks
I really hope you are wrong. I am coming from 5 prior teslas since 2014, and that mid 300's range is at least to me the sweet spot when traveling cross country. I hope they keep the Max Pack on the back burner and sell the large pack to those ready to go or willing to switch.
There are a...
I keep seeing mentions of the straight-line performance of the R1T, how does it feel in the corners? Is there significant body roll or is it well handled due to being able to lower the ride height and low center of gravity from the batteries?
I am asking seriously because I haven't been able...
