Outsider here. Potential short trader. Troll. And Musk fanboy. All jokes aside, this forum is unique in that Rivian loyalist dominate the forum and come up with an interesting number of reasons for activity they don’t agree with. it’s quite odd and something I never experienced. I’ve been a...

We bought a lightly used 24 Model X Plaid with 2k miles so we saved a little on the depreciation already. I know folks here HATE to admit that such different vehicles are cross shopped and thus they aren’t comparable. The reality is that this is indeed most of the market. For us, the X offered...

I won’t pretend to know all the details about Rivian. I’m not invested like some of the folks here (ownership and/or stock owner). I was a very interested buyer and I will transition to a lurker looking to learn more from other owners here as I consider a purchase in the next 1-2 years. That...

I thought long and hard on the Tri. Wife told me to pull the trigger but I decided against. I think I’d be just fine with the Dual Max or Standard. White/Ocean Coast Premium Audio Darkout Package 22” Sport Dark Compressor Chilewich I think that’s what I’m after. I did put an order in on a...

My wife is actually great and will support whatever decision I make. it just seems waiting for a shop car allows you to maximize savings and incentives and likely leads to a sooner delivery. So many folks in the custom order thread seem to be waiting quite a while even if exact or similar...

Add me to the bummed list. lol. I noticed a white with ocean coast tri posted to the shop last night for 7 minutes. By the time I clicked through to try to buy it, it was gone.

I just noticed this today, but why do some Gen 2 R1S shop vehicles shown without tow hooks up front? Is there a certain spec that doesn’t include them?

I’m really curious to see what happens to demand and pricing once the vouchers expire. I had the opportunity to pick up a low mileage used 24 Quad for about $78k last month. And a brand new 24 Quad (lease) I saw a week or two ago in inventory. I couldn’t bring myself to pull the trigger...

The Ocean Coast interior just looks more luxurious to us. I’ve been watching inventory like a hawk this week as we really need to pull the trigger on a new family car. My 3 year old got sick this week, so my wife had to Uber to the doctor which is not ideal. ??‍♂️ If the right spec Rivian...

None at the moment. Ocean Coast interior is a must for us so I’ve been watching shop cars and saw these pop up. Thought it might help someone else.

There are 11 Tri Max in the shop now.

Where can you get a solar loan at 0% interest in today’s market? I’m in the process of shopping for solar with battery backup. It seems the average system size quote to me is about 17kw with two Powerwall 3’s and a SPAN smart panel using REC panels. I’m in Texas so net metering is not a thing...

I’m not familiar with the law in Texas, but the Rivian experience was still vastly different than what the local Tesla and Lucid shops provided (which I assume are subject to the same restrictions). I think Rivian would benefit from guides who aren’t necessarily there to pressure prospects into...

I noticed recent shop car additions have Stealth PPF configured.

Speaking of service and how it can differ market to market, is there a place on this forum where service experiences are aggregated by service center. I always see people share their service experience good and bad, but I rarely see them name their service center. A resource that aggregates...

Oh man… you’ve hit the nail on the head on so many things. I value reliability but I too have been leaning toward EVs since we test drove the R1S Gen 1 about 2 months ago. My wife very much as the sentiment that gas cars are just boring now. We’ve got a lot going on project wise with a pool...

It was so easy for us to make a trip to Austin without kids but oh how things have changed. Even with the current car situation, I wouldn’t drive my ISF to Austin alone even. Not because it’s not reliable, but I’ve lowered it a bit and it has some aftermarket carbon fiber goodies that I’m sure...

I think you make some great points, but ultimately the biggest is that while not everyone is running full speed toward FSD, that is likely where everyone will end up unless they want to look like they got left behind. Whether that’s accomplished through in house development or licensing...

Hmm… that’s a great point. It seems that’s where the market is headed. At the very least, it seems exceptional driver assist is the bare minimum. That said, what’s you’re perspective on Rivian’s goals for Driver Assist and related features moving forward.

With all the talk of the upgraded tech in the Gen 2 R1S, the cameras and the computers, what are the odds that tech will matter significantly in Rivian’s roadmap to full self driving comparable to what Tesla has achieved? I’ve been considering a low mileage 23/24 R1S vs the much more expensive...
