Thanks. I am considering changing my address to VA. It does mean a hefty drive to NM though. I just sent them another email and said if this is now a Policy Change, no deliveries or sales to customers living in states with no SC, they need to say it. It needs to be on their site BEFORE someone...
Went to a service center in Richmond, VA. Was in VA at the time and asked them if I could just see Compass Yellow in person. Wanted to make a color decision once and for all. In talking to the people working there I was told they had a certain radius where they delivered vehicles. Also the ones...
I'm blaming Rivian for not doing the work to get the service center in NM. I can blame each state that is bought by car dealerships too, sure. But if you are going to undertake selling vehicles in states that don't permit service centers you better darn well have a plan B even a plan C. And that...
No guide. Haven't ranked that high up on the food chain yet. I mean I have only been waiting for 2 years and 3 months.
I think I take more offense in Rivian's email statement that I should be the one to contact representatives in NM. It's not like car dealerships being opposed to EV sales is...
Well my address has been New Mexico since the beginning. So for 2 years they have just led me on about delivery? Why accept orders if you don't plan on making delivery? How did the existing Rivians get licensed in New Mexico?
Got my Rivian email today on updated delivery. Apparently not going to happen. Well, that is unless I petition my state to allow Rivian to have a service center. Rivian says they don't deliver out of state. Strange since in 2021 Rivian stated to TechCrunch that they were now authorized by...
Ok, and how about the Southwest like New Mexico. We have many National Parks here and are also a route TO many National Parks. Yet we are an EV desert (ok, literally too)
Guess part of my thought process was what was their thought process? I mean, who doesn't carry registration and insurance verification in their vehicles? They seem to think out of the box on what drivers/adventurers would need, i.e. flashlight in door, truck bed attachments... Good to hear there...
Denver is 355 miles away and Phoenix is 483. Actually looking at New Mexico in general, getting delivery is going to be the least of my problems. Charging outside Santa Fe will be.
I'm just waiting until I get "The Call". They have changed so many things in my configuration all on their own. (camp kitchen, tonneau cover, tent, interior, quad motor...) Figured, why change things myself and possibly risk changing my delivery date. May as well wait to see what's left from my...
How about the fact that Amazon is a big investor/purchaser of Rivian vehicles. Do not believe in any way shape or form they would "allow" the company to go under.
One thought would be to use a Battery Tender. I use one on my motorcycle during the winter months. It's not cumbersome, easy to use and keeps my battery operable once the first nice weather comes along and I want to ride. It could be put on the 12v when you're away on vacation that doesn't...
Have considered doing the same thing. I originally configured Adventure pkg with max battery. All the other things I had on my original R1T have been stripped away. (tonneau cover, kitchen, tent...) I now have CY/21"/manual cover/max pk. configured Feb. 2021. Feel the only reason I don't have my...
I have a 2/21 preorder, so coming on 2yrs now. Was given a "sometime in 2024" delivery date in the last updates. I did not get this "confirm your configuration" email. My last email was a let's talk about the future email on 1/5. I think KingTodd I would be cautiously optimistic.
crashmtb referenced a GM hard-cover folding tonneau cover. I have a 3 panel (typo in my previous post) folding tonneau cover. I like that it is not separate panels I have to store. Mine snaps one section at a time so I can have the bed partially open, fully open or fully closed.
My delivery address is also New Mexico but it's up in Santa Fe. In talking to CS about what's next for my order he said a test drive. There is a service center in Denver and he said it's where the test drive would probably take place.
HaHa, Joke is on you then Board of Directors! Order date 2/21 for R1T/CY/OC dark ash/21" standard tires/Max (waiting) with Camp Kitchen (redesign) Gear tunnel shuttle (redesign) 3 person tent (waiting brake lights) power tonneau cover(???). Decided to just wait. That's right, have the early...
crashmtb:
Actually have a 4 panel version of this on my Jeep Gladiator truck. Love it. Can keep it open partial or full. Clicks in and locks which is important to me when I travel with gear in the bed. Wish Rivian would offer this version instead of the manual. Do not like the idea I will now...
