    Court hears Buick dealer bid to kill Rivian service center

    Me, yes! with free two day shipping šŸ˜‚ā€¦I cancelled my LE R1 because Rivian couldnā€™t/wouldnā€™t sell it to me. Hopefully this bodes well for the end of the traditional dealership modelā€¦

    Which upcoming vehicles are you most excited to see?

    The Land Rover EVs- lots of talk but they also seem obsessed with FSD, so that will tie them up a bit...

    MSNBC Article: Rivian Falls Apart

    You hit lots of the buzz words but that could have been written by our MSNBC ā€˜journalistā€™ Musk has demonstrated Twitter was censoring unfavored political candidates and points of view- Musk wants to see the platform open to different points if viewā€¦ (Here come the ā€˜no politicsā€™ criesā€¦after...

    MSNBC Article: Rivian Falls Apart

    Yah Iā€™m sure Musk has gone from hero to zero for many of you since heā€™s no longer on your team politicallyā€¦however he has said Tesla was once within hours of running out of capital. Iā€™ve no crystal ball but work in FS and thereā€™s good reason to believe thereā€™s recession by Q2- a deep one where...

    Jan 2019 preorder, tapping out

    Thanks. My wife loves loves loves our Defender and that was maybe part of the decision. LR invited me to on their customer advisory board- thereā€™s lots of talk about their upcoming EVs so Iā€™ll probably just wait for specs. Life changed so much for us since the Rivian order so a new vehicle is...

    Jan 2019 preorder, tapping out

    I just cancelled. My guide assigned in March, then I was caught in the limbo where they wouldn't provide an updated delivery window. I'm tired of the no information cheery one-liners from the guide and CS. They started to sound like sociopaths. I lost interest in flipping and figured the best...

    Delivery Issue R1S, registration and taxes

    Look at it this way- It looks like Rivian is going to dig in with the legal fight and so they wonā€™t be selling to people in those states fighting the direct to consumer model any time soon. (Yah they say its because thereā€™s no SC near you butā€¦) Thatā€™s going to free up the line a bitā€¦

    Delivery Issue R1S, registration and taxes

    I say just wait if your situation allows. Thereā€™s no more rush to be first- all the first impressions/ask me anything posts have been written. Do you lose pre-March pricing if you tell them you want to wait?

    Undriveable at night in wet snow due to LED headlights not melting snow & ice

    Yah not uniqueā€¦.and the vertical nature is way better than a little shelf in front of the headlamp lens. If you spend any time in alpine winter you know headlamp washers and wipers are just more things to cake up with ice, snert and snit (snert= snow + dirt, snit = what you think it is) I had...

    šŸ”® Estimated Delivery Date Window is LIVE! What’s Yours?! šŸ”®

    Yah Iā€™m in South Carolina purgatory too. One more disappointment from a company I had high hopes forā€¦a Jan ā€˜23 date for a new date puts me in year 5ā€¦ ā€¦Iā€™m still keeping the ressie but only as an economic play. Iā€™m on the Land Rover customer advisory and they are stirring about an offroad EV...

    8-STEPS OPEN for R1S Delivery - It's finally happening!

    ...haha! The term 'New Old Stock' might refer to some of the others sitting on the lot. Back in the day many of the manufacturers destroyed new cars more than a model year old...

    Frustrated 2018 preorder holder

    I hear this...yah, since so few of us have trucks the forums have beat to death all the angles and frustrations Rivian has doled out to its preorders, but its also kind of dumb and more than a little frustrating to listen to recent preorders lecturing 2018s to be patient. Also, way back in the...

    Our R1S is here!

    Iā€™m a Jan ā€˜19 pre order and April/May delivery window, now with no new delivery window but an end of September window to get a new window. Can I have one if your updated windows šŸ¤­?

    Our R1S is here!

    Yah the black leading edge is similar to Defender. I like it over paint since that leading edge receives a lot of abuse

    What would happen if Rivian went out of business?

    You're so right..though we've already had members on this forum discussing rewriting the software on their own. Would a Rivian OpenWrt style project happen organically?

    Lots of R1S at San Francisco Service Center

    I haven't seen too many R1S 'lottery winners'- most deliveries I've seen have been November orders, so hopefully for our sake order date still makes a difference...

    180 R1S/R1Ts heading to Chicago!

    Yah. My guide who always just parrots the company talking points told me the latest one: 'keep an eye on my inbox!'. The company is running out of time to meet their delivery goals before year end so Chicago probably won't be the only SC flooded with vehicles...
