I came close to breaking even or made a small amount on the trade when you take into account that I got R1T at the pre-price increase price and you also take into account the 7500 ev tax credit
i got much more than expected on the trade from Rivian.
I asked if they were going to resell the R1T...
Hi,
Has anyone done this through Rivian? I got the R1T in January; we are expecting the new R1S Aug-Sep 2023. I love the R1T; but, I also have too many vehicles. There are multiple reasons for the swap out. It hasn't been an easy decision; but, it makes the most sense for us. I'm interested in...
One thing I miss from my Ridgeline was the bed rack. The bike was completely protected, low riding, and super stable (fork-mount). Super cheap, too. The only issue in the Ridgeline was that my Niner had to be turned at a slight angle to get the tailgate up. Road bikes and regular mountain...
Sorry if I missed it; but, does the rack lock down to the crossbars if you use the T-nuts? And, does Kuat include locks with the rack. I have the Yakima; but, I have to load bikes backward to avoid the front wheel hitting the deflector and the adjustability (fore-aft) of the Yakima is limited.
Ultimately, I want to get the spare kit from Rivian so I don’t want to run the risk of stripping the truck fitting. I went with the m10 rod from Amazon.
Honestly, I can’t believe we have to do this.
Police in my state stopped pulling people over for expired tags and plate issues because the politicians told them to stop. So, I'm not too worried about getting pulled over for missing a front plate. (Fun fact: Timmy McVeigh got pulled over after his bombing for not having valid tags.)
I found an owner that was getting the 20" wheels to replace the 21" ones he had. I bought one 21" wheel from him. I contacted Rivian to get the parts to secure the wheel in the compartment. No go x 2. "they'll be in the gear shop soon". Like others, I bought the evsportline jack. Even though I...
I googled "rivian spare" and this popped up.
I still am unconvinced this is the best option. I like the idea of having an OEM spare in case I ever get curb rash on a wheel. Then I can swap them out. It's also expensive--$700. And I heard the actual 21" full size will come in somewhere around...
There’s another jack option from evsportonline; but, that’s another $120. That jack package is probably better quality than the Rivian one. It’s a tough call. If I had confidence that we’ll see a Rivian package by July, I’d wait...
I was wrong. If you have a BPA and a VIN, and you file 8936 with 15Aug2022 as the "in service" date, you can claim the credit. My tax person is agreeing.
Still, I view this as "audit bait" to some degree.
If it was a couple of hundred dollars, I would forget it; but, $7500 is a decent amount...
I think the best winter solution would be a dedicated Blizzak on a 20" wheel. I have a Porsche Macan S. I invested in winter wheels and tires because I didn't want to destroy the finish on the 22" wheels I have during the rest of the year. It certainly makes a difference on that car.
I actually...
