    Is it possible the lines on the reverse camera aren’t aligned?

    Iā€™ve never parked so poorly in my life when backing into a space as I do in the R1S. The picture always shows me over one line or the other, but they arenā€™t accurate/reflective of my actual location in the spot (seems to be off by an inch or two). If only we had side mirrors that tilt down in...

    Running Board - Stripped Bolt - what to do?

    As I was uninstalling one of the bolts to install my running boards it simply kept on twisting (was going lefty loosely the whole time). In order to get it to bite I put some angled pressure on it, but now itā€™s coming out crooked. Any thoughts/suggestions. Assuming Iā€™ll strip the heck out of it...

    Took Delivery Today and Loving It

    Cars were stacked relatively tight at the delivery center so I didnā€™t do an inspection of any sortā€¦rolled the dice and will check it out soon. And of course one of my buddies who isnā€™t an EV fan had to tweak the picture I sentā€¦Iā€™m into sophomoric humor and chuckled :)

    Configured at $80,000 exactly - not a penny more. Risky?

    Long story short I know there are questions about how things will pan out in 2023 tax incentives, but for the purposes of finalizing my order I'm currently at EXACTLY $80,000.00 and signed the preorder agreement last year when it was offered by Rivian (put my reservation in April 2019). I'm...

    What are the longest lead time configurations for the R1S?

    If hypothetically I didnā€™t want/need my car 1H 2023, which is my current estimate (though the site may provide better insights soon), but wanted to keep my LE configuration and pricing, how would I spec out my R1S to push delivery out further? For instance, insisting on Ocean Coast with white...

    What are the chances the changes to OC and Explore might speed up delivery date estimates?

    I was surprised that, being an April 2019 R1S LE preorder holder that lives a few miles from the Irvine HQ, Iā€™m out at 1H 2023 for my delivery estimate. Has there been any discussion that Iā€™ve missed around expectations that they might speed things up materially with these changes? Any thoughts?

    Right now would be a great time for Rivian to announce a 2-3 year free charging partnership with Electrify America

    Especially given how thirsty the Rivians are. Perhaps only a token gesture given the price hike, but super price sensitive people could use it to defray the increased cost, while those that donā€™t value it as much could ignore it. Iā€™m still waiting for my home charger to get installed, but in...

    Quasi Rivian Investing Related

    Thought I'd take the liberty of sharing a great book that could be timely, especially with all the TSLA comparisons I'm read about. The book is called "How to Think About Money", and beyond the basics that many people know about it really gets into the relationship we have with our money. If...

    “Production Hell”…I’m a big fan of Tailosive EV’s YT channel

    ā€¦but I was a bit bummed to see how hard he was on Rivian in this one. I will admit the potential issues he circled with fit and finish (especially on the rear lower and hood area) are a bit disconcerting. Hope it was just a photo perspective issueā€¦

    R1S - Great Value?

    As I've been thinking more and more about it, I'm thrilled where the pricing came in for the R1S, but want a sanity check from this (albeit biased) board. I originally thought I'd be canceling my R1A reservation since I was certain the first ones would require $100k+ optioning...and obviously I...

    Lincoln Aviator - wow!

    I know it's apple and oranges, but I'm suspecting the first batch of R1S's will be similar to, if not more than, the Black Label PHEV that comes in around $90k fully loaded. I've been eyeing it for a long time, and sat in a Black Label (not PHEV) at Fashion Island, and it is freaking nice...
