I have a separate thread on what type of driver is looking at Rivian and what needs it will meet here. Now I would like to hear what else you might be considering. In addition to the R1S, I am currently still considering a Tesla Model X. I have contemplated a few others, but it seems that...

Same experience here. In the early days, I mattered. Not the case anymore. Very frustrated with Tesla at this point. Looking forward to mattering to Rivian (at least for a while).

Totally agree on FSD. I think it’s an insanely stupid concept and the world would be better off without it.

Tons of great thoughts in this thread. I am still in limbo (prior Model S and X owner with a deposit on both Rivian and new Model X), but leaning towards Rivian. One of my considerations is how big the car feels. My prior Model X felt like it drove like a small SUV. I am currently driving a...

This may be the wrong thread to ask this question, but here goes: has anyone heard anything about test driving? When I called, they are blaming the lack of access to test drive to Covid, which we all know is a reasonable attempt to make the real reason you can’t test drive someone opaque. In...

This thread is literally grass roots marketing for Rivian!

I don't know what the heck I am talking about. By "flatbed", I really meant a pickup truck. Is it obvious that I have never owned one - I don't even know the correct terminology!

OK, now I’d like to get thoughts on the R1T. I have never owned a flatbed, but I’ve always wanted one. This one looks compelling. How many of those out there getting an R1T currently own a flatbed? Do use it to go to the grocery store, pick up the kids and drive to work every day? Or, do you...

I had MX P100D. Performance amazing. I loved the seats, but agree with most of the shortcomings you pointed out. I am on the list for a new one, but also an R1S. I'd love the R1T, but would have to convince my wife I need that kind of vehicle...

One thing I forgot to mention above is that the price went way up after the refresh was announced. I was told by a service advisor that if a refresh occurs, I would be “grandfathered in“. Turns out, that was not the case. I sold my vehicle and I’m looking at a substantial price increase over...

I agree on keeping your Tesla. My story is a bit odd. I had a P100D Model X from just before they upgraded the MCU. Loved the car, but computer was slow and buggy and I had wifi connection issues. I nagged them to upgrade it for me and they wouldn't (despite the fact that the part was on recall...

Great summary and kind of agree with your assessment. I am also growing tired of what feels like complacency, bordering arrogance. Horrible communication. Tesla's customer service was high touch in the beginning, but dropped off a cliff with their growth. I have had several MS's and an X. Love...

At the risk of looking lazy (JeremyMKE, I see you looking at me...), can anyone tell me how you reserved the larger battery pack? I called Rivian this morning, and that was one of the questions I asked the advisor. She was clueless about the battery pack.

I hear you and agree. I did peruse a bit, but didn't find the exact information I was looking for. Will get back at it.

I have been with Tesla since 2012 and am currently considering moving to Rivian for a few reasons. I just sold my Tesla Model X in anticipation of upgrading to the newest version. But, there have been tons of delays with zero communication from Tesla, which has prompted me to start looking at...
