We have the FOB and the bracelet (who remembers those) for our R1, but the fob never leaves home unless we're taking the truck to the service center or it's going in for it's annual Virginia safety inspection. We carry the key cards in our wallets as backups, but in our nearly 4 years with the...

He sold the company.

Sterling is currently only a service center. They are not doing demo drives or deliveries. When I was there in June they told me all R2 deliveries will be taking place at Gaithersburg for the near future (DC area).

Tysons isn't a delivery center (yet). They are just a Rivian space and demo center. All DC area deliveries are only at Gaithersburg right now.

We did our R2 demo at Tysons. There is a pre-defined route, but you don't have to follow it. They just gave us the key fob and let us loose. Also, the pre-defined route goes through a fairly simple loop in Tysons where the traffic is light and you can pull into several surface lots if you need...

We had two Macan's before we got our R1T. (Obviously not the EV version) They were great daily drivers, but they are small crossovers, not even a medium sized SUV. The R1S is a big suv with a good amount of storage space. We didn't need a third row of seats and it's a waste to buy a vehicle...

They likely aren’t going to provide numbers, but they will tell investors how the reservations are converting. Rivian knows this is a big deal and if it’s going well, they will say something. We’ll get a much better idea come Q3/Q4. The fact that they raised production guidance tells us they...

Investors will want to hear from Rivian about R2 demand. Reservations turning into actual orders. That will be the inflection point. These are positive numbers, we should know more come the Q2 call.

Our update: 4-8 weeks. DC area. Day 1 reservation. LER1T Our R2 is configured as Catalina Cove. 21” wheels.

The demo vehicle we drove was on 21's. Drives like a well build mid-sized SUV. We've previously owned a 2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and a couple of Porche Macan's. It drove as well as the Macan, and much better than the Jeep. Ride is smooth. The premium configuration has plenty of horse power and...

Rivian is not a legacy auto maker trying to convince their current customers to go from a gas powered vehicle to an EV. They don’t need to make a vehicle that makes you feel like you’re still driving a gas powered vehicle. They engineered vehicles that are most efficient at what they do. If you...

It feels very flimsy. This was one item that surprised us at our demo drive.

Yeah, they had most of the Space roped off near the entrance and several employees with iPads. The R2 was farther back in the space and behind another set of ropes. As for the vehicles, the Space is next to the Macy's garage, but the Rivian vehicles are in the same garage as the RAN.

It sounds like our local Rivian space came up with this rule on their own.

We had a mobile service in April for a tire rotation. They found a fluid leak. (not our first) We opened the new ticket. Sterling fumbled it. More than a month went by as pending. Then when we called in to find out what was up we ended up in support hell. While that was going on our 12V battery...

Just finished our demo drive at the Tysons Corner, VA showroom. First, a few technical items: Tysons currently has (2) R2 demo drive units, (1) R2 display unit (around VIN 200) They also have (4) R1S and (1) R1T demo unit We had a 2p appointment, they didn't get to us until 2:45p. They said...

Try opening a ticket via chat or calling the 855 number. The person you're going to talk to is likely at their call center in Michigan and can barely handle Tier 1 support tasks. This is Rivian's system for opening a ticket nationwide. You can't just call a service center directly. (you're not...

Day 1 reservation holder. We have 2 actually. Plus 2022 R1T owner. Nada. Our email was we'll be updated at end of June.

Also, keep in mind they're probably pulling early builds with defects to serve as demo drive vehicles. When the R1 was released, the first couple thousand VINs went only to employees. We saw some of these at the factory and the panel alignments, gaps, etc were extreme in some cases.

Our email from Rivian: ”Unfortunately, due to the condensed schedule for the R2, we can only accommodate one driver at a time for these demo drives.”
