  1. Scrutinize the sales tax rate on your purchase

    Youā€™re correct. Thatā€™s seems like an unfair law. It would give some dealers advantages over others.
  2. Scrutinize the sales tax rate on your purchase

    Iā€™m picking up my R1S tomorrow but the delivery was almost delayed due to the sales tax rate on the purchase agreement being 7.75% instead of 7.00% which is quite a substantial difference on an $80K vehicle. Interestingly the purchase agreement had the correct 7.00% rate on the charger (but the...
  3. Hotspot Speed?

    I had my test drive yesterday and had a question that the employee didn't know and said he'd never been asked. He was showing the hot spot and said up to 8 devices could connect, and I asked about how fast the hot spot was because it is fairly slow in our 2018 Expedition. Has anyone ever done...
  4. Angry RAM TRX drivers last night

    You should be like me and get a Friends of Coal license plate. I love having a coal-powered EV!
  5. Conserve Mode: $125 a month tire cost!

    So hereā€™s an ideaā€”Iā€™m not sure if itā€™s even feasible but thought Iā€™d throw it out there. Are the motors identical on the front and rear? If so, could Rivian push an OTA update which would give the driver the option of FWD or RWD in conserve mode with a resettable trip odometer so you could...
  6. Charging from 120v wall outlet

    I donā€™t have my Rivian yet but have charged my Model S on 110 several times. It only adds 4 MPH but helps each year at the remote cabin where we have our annual family Christmas party. The 110 charging allows us to make the round trip without charging otherwise as the car adds 80-100 miles of...
  7. IRS Transition rule guidance changed

    Thatā€™s great but doesnā€™t mean itā€™s a done deal. The IRA typically accepts your returns as filed but may flag you an audit in the futureā€”they have up to 3 years to audit the return.
  8. 50 Miles of Extra Range For $10,000?

    So I have a pre-price hike reservation for an R1S. If what you're saying is true (and I believe it is), then I could switch to an R1T max pack and keep the pre-price hike pricing, but if I get an R1S max pack (which is the version I really want), then I would have to pay the increased price? I...
  9. Confirmed by Rivian: R1S w/ Ocean Coast Interior - Deliveries Not Until Early 2023

    I donā€™t think charging will be an issue in another year or two, but even now, we couldnā€™t take a Rivian south from Ohio via I-77 (a trip we make several times a year) because there arenā€™t any non-Tesla high-speed chargers between Cambridge, Ohio and Wytheville, VA (and the Wytheville station is...
  10. Confirmed by Rivian: R1S w/ Ocean Coast Interior - Deliveries Not Until Early 2023

    I also have a blue OC R1S with the same delivery window, so I'm probably getting close as well. I'm a little hesitant because I wanted a max pack initially and now am tempted to wait for that depending on the price difference. I'm afraid there's going to be too big a gap since I have the...
  11. Has anyone taken a road trip in a Rivian through West Virginia on I-77?

    Has anyone taken a road trip in a Rivian through West Virginia on I-77? There seems to be no high speed charging outside Tesla in West Virginia, so I was wondering if anyone had made it through the mountains from Cambridge, OH to Wytheville, VA. (I now see the Wytheville EA station is...
  12. 2 Big Requests to Rivian for future Update (that should be easy)

    You could buckle the seat belt before sitting down so itā€™s not restraining you but is buckled.
  13. [Poll] How did your R1S delivery estimate change w/ latest update?

    I have a blue R1S with the skid plate and ocean coast interior at the original price. My estimate went from 3rd quarter 2023 to April/May 2023, so it was moved a few months sooner. Iā€™m about 2 hours away from a service center.
  14. For those who got R1S (or R1T) at original approximately $78k would you buy one for new price of approximately $93k?

    I hadn't heard that since my delivery is still 6+ months away. If I can't get the tax credit, then I almost certainly won't make the purchase. I honestly assumed the administration would write the rules so liberally that the tax credit wouldn't be an issue at purchase but did have a concern...
  15. For those who got R1S (or R1T) at original approximately $78k would you buy one for new price of approximately $93k?

    There is no way I would. I have an R1S reservation at the original price + the tax credit, so the net cost with several options will be in the $73-$74K range. Even at that price, I'm still questioning whether I'll actually pull the trigger this fall when the time comes. I probably will and...
  16. Driver+ Question

    Is there a map of locations where Driver+ works? For those who have been lucky enough to get your Rivians, have the locations where Driver+ is functional grown since you initially got your vehicle?
  17. We are way too obsessed with range

    Iā€™ve seen these threads in the Tesla forums for years. What people fail to realize is that everyone doesnā€™t use their vehicle the same as you. A perfect exampleā€”we are a family with three young children 6 and under. A couple of times each year we make a 1,000 mile trip each way to our condo in...
  18. Official email from Rivian offering Binding Purchase Agreement

    Agreed but he was worried about Rivian refunding none of the deposit which is why I used $1,000 as a worst case scenario.
  19. Official email from Rivian offering Binding Purchase Agreement

    If there is more than a 13.33% chance youā€™ll buy (1,000/7,500), you should sign.
