I'm not an employee, just a regular joe. I found that reddit thread and messaged a person stating that they were an employee and could give me a referral to which I gave them my order number, Name, and associated email. A few days later they added the referral to my account.
They did remove my...
False alarm, after going back and forth with my guide they stated I was already receiving the 8K discount, so mine will stay as-is. They didn't realize I was already getting it since it was a separate line item for the discounts vs them only looking at the MSRP.
My guide contacted me and said my R1T that is scheduled for pickup tomorrow at 9am is eligible for the $8,000 reduction. They're saying they're redoing my numbers so i'm sitting tight waiting to see if that's actually the case.
We'll see
They have not updated the portal to match the newly updated discount, but I've already reached out to my guide and they have reached out to the finance team to re-run the numbers. I should hopefully have an update tomorrow regarding that. Monthly amount for the lease and the amount required down...
I had a 9 digit number. I already had delivery scheduled and already made my payment (I’m in Texas so I paid the taxes up front).
The person did it Sunday afternoon and I finally saw the discount take effect this afternoon.
My order is also weeks old, it was created on 4/27/24 when I selected...
I just received my employee referral which is on top of my preorder discount. So mine is:

Preorder Leasing Promotion

Employee R1T Discount Offer

This is for a quad R1T, LA Silver...
A non critical thing _for you_
Again, the fact that literally every single car made today has it is pretty telling that it’s an important feature, but hey you do you. Texting can and is critical for many of us, whether you choose to believe it or not. Hence all other cars have the feature.
Not gonna lie, while the Rivian audio system is much better than average vehicles, it didn't "wow" me. But that damn camp speaker wows me everytime I use it for music while working in the garage, that small speaker puts out very good quality sounding music for such a small device.
This is somewhat "normal", as I had the same outcome. Drove around in Conserve a lot as most of my miles have been road trip miles and ended up putting new tires on the front at around 11K miles. I've stopped using conserve at all now since it doesn't really give that much more range compared to...
I'd assume this is temporary for everyone, my understanding is that to get the federal money they have to support plug and charge. So that should mean that everyone (including EA and Tesla) will support this via CCS in order to gain access to the government funds...
Just like you want to put your fingers in your ears and say that EA is perfect and has 0 issues for you, therefor it *has* to be that way for everyone. Then when I point out 20+ posts from 20 different users from Reddit all from the past 14 days you just shit on Reddit and say it can't be true...
I guess this is a benefit of living in a flat area, I had no idea regen would disable itself mid drive. I've only ever had regen be limited when the battery is at a high SoC. TIL
Tidal sounds the best to me, much better than Spotify. But the Tidal app doesn't work very well, it doesn't properly show my search history, doesn't properly show my play history, and I sometimes struggle getting it to play properly. I have to switch from Tidal to another source and then switch...
I went on a 5 day trip and left the Rivian in the garage with average temps probably around 55-60F. Lost on average about 1.5-2% battery/day. Left at 74% and came back to it at 65%. I checked daily with the Rivian app to see what the percentage was at so that likely woke it up and drained it...
I'd hate for the charger on my Rivian to be in the back. I constantly drop the tailgate to let the dogs out and to use as a place to hangout and eat and get in and out of the bed of the truck while charging. If they put the charger on the rear of the truck then I wouldn't be able to do that...
