Tesla dealership could be coming soon to Asheville
I am confused. I thought the arcane dealership protection laws in our state precluded this. My understanding was that Tesla’s Raleigh and Charlotte service centers were grandfathered in but no more could be built. Could this mean that there is...
Well - you are a braver man than me. I have been driving my 2004 Tundra for 18 years. Even at the of 57 it’s only 3rd car that I have ever owned. I received my R1T less than a week ago. However, I just can’t let Tundra go -at least not yet. I am holding on to her until I know that the R1T is...
@Hayden123982 is correct. I had the manual tonneau configured. My guide removed it. The slots in the bed are there so that the manual cover, purchased later in the Gear Shop, can be installed later.
Yep. This was the verbiage:
“The delivery window estimate in your Account has been temporarily set to “Processing new estimate” as we finalize plans for when we’ll have a Service Center in your area. We plan to update your Account with a delivery window in January 2023.”
Then boom- last week I...
I was one who got the “processing estimate” at the Oct update. My original window was Oct-Dec.
Guide assigned last week. Completed the 8 steps and the truck is at the Richmond SC. I did have to compromise on my configuration - namely no tonneau cover, no spare and 21” wheels. Still haven’t...
Just finished the 8 steps. The truck is under final inspection at the Richmond SC. VIN #14924.
My guide matched me to this truck. It matched my configuration except it has no tonneau cover, no spare and 21” wheels.
Totally agree. Rivian has known about these difficulties for years and should have been MUCH better managing their customers expectations.
I am currently watching EV-6 reviews on YouTube. I think I will just keep my old tundra and go that route.
From what I have gathered here and other places. NC is one of many states that banned direct to consumer vehicle sales. THis is common knowledge. However, Tesla was a first mover and established service centers in the state prior to this ban. In fact, the legislation in many states was IN...
This is really an endorsement to the strength of the dealership model And a capitulation of the direct to consumer model. Really, of those here who live in NC, LA or other protectionist state, do you think the dealership protection laws will change anytime soon? If Rivian stands by this new...
3/21 preorder for standard config R1T, previously a Oct-Dec 2022 delivery window. I did change interior colors a couple times months ago.
2/22 R1S and dual motor R1T reservation
Just outside Charlotte NC
All reservations “processing estimate.” Sad more than anything else.
I will keep my...
