    Found it. Lol.

    Is this the R2 spotted in the wild?

    https://maps.app.goo.gl/3qNFt1PhRe8L9iff7 Not a real RAN site. Looks like non-operating RAN stands placed there to produce media of some kind. Maybe making content for the website or for the 3/7 launch.

    latest VIN for R1S

    I don't think so. I am taking delivery in two days of an R1S 140XX, which looks like it was a mid-late June build. They seem to be producing faster and faster. In my opinion this is a good thing and means they are figuring things out and have made progress working out the kinks.

    Loan rates?

    Folks still experiencing delays with USSFCU? Got membership finalized within 48 hours. Submitted loan application 8/10. Called today, 8/14, and they said another 1-3 business days. I asked if there was anything else I could do to move it along, and they said no. When I called, I navigated to...

    R1S Shop access live with lots of inventory!

    Thanks! I had my First Mile last Friday. Played it cool with the advisor at first but by the end of the drive essentially told him that I was ready to buy ASAP. He said he'd note it and send a request for shop access and/or a guide assignment but he was somewhat noncommittal, saying that there...

    R1S Shop access live with lots of inventory!

    Apologies if this has been answered before, but has anybody gotten shop access or been assigned a guide as a result of their First Mile advisor making a request? If so, how long was it between the First Mile and you getting shop access/a guide?

    R1S delivery esimate?

    That's gonna depend on a lot of things. Do you have an existing pre-order? If so, when did you make it? The further back in time, the sooner you'll get the car. If not, what configuration are you looking for? Quad-motor with the large battery pack will likely deliver sooner than dual-motor or...

    No tax credit for customers with binding contracts.

    Well the issue re: $100 becoming non-refundable is addressed. I admit it isn't a perfect argument. But the BPA doesn't say that is a limit on the loss/penalty for breach. It says that it is just consideration for making the contract binding. Based purely on the words in the contract, one could...

    No tax credit for customers with binding contracts.

    That may be the case. And putting an end date may very well be the IRS' intention for enforcement. All I'm saying is that the IRS guidance does not supersede the statutory language. And I see nothing in the statute actually giving the IRS the authority to put an end date on the application and...

    No tax credit for customers with binding contracts.

    I'm not saying anything specific to YOUR situation. I'm also not saying anything about on what year tax return you can take the credit. As said above, the IRA does give the IRS authority to determine the means and procedure for a taxpayer to take the credit. So that might be up in the air. Maybe...

    No tax credit for customers with binding contracts.

    I understand what the guidance page says. However, the guidance is not the authoritative document. The statute is. The guidance is merely the IRS' interpretation of the statute. It is possible for the guidance to be incorrect. And if the guidance is incorrect, then the statute will override it...

    No tax credit for customers with binding contracts.

    The guidance is just that. Guidance. It's meant to aid taxpayers in interpreting the tax code. Guidance is not infallible and is not binding authority. Only the statute and official rules actually have authority. If the IRS says in its guidance that BPAs are no longer valid starting in 2023...

    No tax credit for customers with binding contracts.

    Hi all. Lawyer weighing in here. All the typical caveats apply that this post does not not create an attorney-client relationship, this is not legal advice, and the fact that I am only licensed in North Carolina, so I can only speak to NC law and federal law. THIS IS NOT LEGAL ADVICE. Just an...

    States with Manufacturer SERVICE Prohibitions -- What's Your Delivery Estimates?

    Only asking about pre-order holders with configurations (pre-March 2022) and who live in states that prohibit SERVICE (edit) directly by manufacturers. This includes NC, SC, AL, LA, NM, and a few others I am not aware of. What state are you in? Do you have an order for R1T or R1S? Did you have...

    2022 Q3 Rivian Earnings to be reported November 9, 2022

    Market anxiety in the run-up to release of financials? If the numbers aren't released yet, I don't know how they could have any fact-based effect on stock value and trading actions. Just a bunch of speculation. Trying to keep a cool head until we actually see numbers.

    Late/End-of-October Delivery Estimate Updates

    Getting ahead of this in anticipation of these coming to our accounts...at some point. Eager to see if updates shift at all now that OC is on its way and supply chain issues/part availability might be improving some. Do we think we're going to see updated estimates on accounts this week, or...

    Explore Trim Timing?

    Has anybody heard anything about Rivian's goals/hopes for starting production of the Explore trim? Obviously, I assume it won't be until all Launch Editions are built and delivered. But I imagine once that is taken care of, they'd like to get them built alongside Adventure models and eat...

    Tax Credit Changes in new bill [LOCKED DUE TO POLITICS & ARGUING]

    Has nobody thought of a rewrite that would work for startups but also incentivize production of vehicles at price points that are affordable? Could have missed an earlier comment, but maybe combine the 200k unit limit with the MSRP restriction (and maybe bump up the unit threshold to one that is...
