  1. Grumpy Rivian drivers no wave

    I wish there was an option for the vehicles to talk to each other. I'd love to have a little custom emote-like thing with Gary saying "hey-o" whenever I drove by another friend-o.
  2. "Compact spare tires will be available to order in summer of 2023" NOT!

    OTOH there was that guy who got stuck in Montana for a week while waiting on a replacement 21" tire. depends on what you are rolling. I'd be wary of leaving the exurbs if all I had was 4x 21" wheels. At least we could likely find a 22" or 20" tire locally if there was a problem on a road trip.
  3. Glacier White vs. LA Silver?

    I have a Compass Yellow so you know that I am a man of eccentric taste and while I generally dislike white cars, the white R1S looks really good. Easily the best greyscale color they offer, IMO.
  4. "Compact spare tires will be available to order in summer of 2023" NOT!

    the jack is part of the spare package.
  5. Parking your Rivian outside

    Just got mine last week and it'll live outside its entire life. Too big to comfortably park in the garage and the pinball machines take priority anyway. My neighborhood has decided that we all park cars in our driveways.
  6. Tesla Universal Wall Connector home charger - it's here!

    I already had the Tesla App installed due to planning to try out a supercharger soon... I just opened it and clicked "add product" and the App + Charger worked their way through wifi + software updates just fine. Not sure if there are special optimizations for the universal charger that aren't...
  7. Tesla Universal Wall Connector home charger - it's here!

    EZ install. Took the guy an hour. install was 600 bucks, Seattle/Redmond area, cost quoted to originally include exterior install but did not meet wife acceptance factor criteria. (She still thinks the garage will be used for non-pinball machine related activities) Disappointed that it had...
  8. Tesla Universal Wall Connector home charger - it's here!

    Mine arrived last Friday (29th), a day after my R1S. it's getting installed Monday. Will post pics.
  9. Am I getting close to delivery?

    I got the email back in august and I'm taking delivery tomorrow. Was "processing estimate" until last week when I went to "ready for purchase" and it escalated quickly. I had emailed my guide and they said there was a VIN entering production that matched my spec and It'd happen in 8-12 weeks...
  10. SC Pickup Avoids $1k delivery fee? Or Home delivery is an extra $1k now?

    This is not the destination fee. I am picking up this week and there is a normal destination fee, but I had the option to pay 1k to have it delivered to my house, or to pickup at the service center for free.
  11. What Was Your Previous Daily Driver Before Rivian?

    I'm still in this Tacoma until my R1S arrives. Prior to that, I was in my wife's Subaru Impreza which was our only car for 5 years while I bike commuted in Boston. I LOVE this Voodoo Blue color, but wish I'da gotten a 4Runner instead as I rarely use the bed and we tend to do more snow sports...
  12. Software Update Coming: set drive mode in trip planner, 12v battery health notifications, manage calls with thumb on steering wheel

    Service centers are not located in high traffic areas that bring in customers. I loved going to the seattle space to check out my final configuration with my spouse. Seeing all the other people pouring over the vehicles means that there is better demand, better resale value, and a longer...
  13. August delivery updates are in! What is your new estimated delivery window?

    I'm in a similar situation. Confirmed my unicorn build (R1S Quad, Yellow) about a week or two ago, previously had a H2 '24 delivery window. Guide assured me that I'd been matched with a production slot. I'm still "processing and no email." Perhaps there isn't a "we're making it now" state for...
  14. August delivery updates are in! What is your new estimated delivery window?

    mine hasn't updated yet. Was previously July-Dec '24 but my guide said that I've actually been matched with a VIN.
  15. Learn More about Trading In, Financing, Insurance e-mail...

    update: I'd been getting this email chain as well. Curious as I figured I was still a WAYS out. I bugged my guide for shop access and he said no can do as I'd been matched with a factory VIN and that it'd be 8-12 weeks. (This is significantly different fromthe July-Dec '24 window I'd had as...
  16. Overhead camera view

    it's sometimes annoying at red lights when I want to see my next turn coming up, but my Tacoma's overhead camera just comes on the screen anytime you are below ~10 mph. It's awesome for car washes, aggressive urban parking, driveways, etc. Would love to have something like that, but preferably...
  17. Confirmation Confirmed. Processing Estimate

    Similar scenario. Pre-hike preorder for R1S, was July-Dec 2024 until this morning and now says Processing Estimate. I'm assuming it updates at the end of the month? Don't want to get my hopes up.
  18. Delivery Window Update

    are we sure this email means we're in the process? I'm still seeing July-December '24 on my date, but I got this email and some other vaguely "get prepared, read about financing and trade ins" type email from them. I mean, I'll take the thing but "surprise 12 months early" isn't something...
