That sounds like a great deal. We have a Dual Max gen2 R1S and it has been great. Mobile service has taken care of a few recalls in our garage and Colorado Springs service center was great the one time I had to take it in for a camera that stopped working.
I was told today by an employee at the CO Springs service center, that an Albuquerque service center is in the works. He did not have a date or specific location but supposedly it is "approved" and they are moving forward with it. Looking forward to the official announcement!
Just a heads up for NM Rivian owners - I dropped off the R1S at the CO Springs service center yesterday and was given a loaner R1S quad large, I think first gen. I tried to charge it at the EA in Trinidad on the way home and it would not charge at the 350KW chargers - i tried both of them...
After a year and a half I had to take the R1S to the service center for the first time yesterday. I'm pretty happy overall with that track record. Alex (the mobile service guy based in ABQ) has performed a number of recalls and minor fixes at our home, which is super convenient. Taking it to the...
I've had the same error message for the last month or more, and simultaneously the assisted cruise control was not working at all. Also (possibly related, not sure) - the auto-dimming brights function on the headlights was not working - would not dim when oncoming cars approached.
The mobile...
Received the check from IRS today for $8643.95 ($7500+interest). I had pretty much given up hope that it would ever be approved, but the appeal letter + documents worked!
Used R1S prices will likely come down significantly when the first batch of leases term out and hit the used market. Not sure when that will be exactly though, maybe sometime in 2027?
Well I got a denial letter dated 2/4/2025 stating:
"We can't allow your claim for Form 8936 Plug-In Electric Drive Motor Vehicle.
Eligible Vehicles must be placed in service as follows: Qualified two-wheeled plug-in electric vehicles - acquired before but placed in service in 2022."
The letter...
From Krugman's post this morning:
"Well, as one commenter pointed out, the thing about 150-year-old Social Security beneficiaries may be another comical error. Apparently in COBOL — obsolete in the business world but still used in government — a missing date of birth is registered as 1875...
I hear you, but two points:
1. That's not what he said, and it's clearly not the same thing
2. Throwing out the baby with the bathwater is EXACTLY what Musk is doing with the Federal government. And it is causing infinitely more damage than boycotting Tesla could ever do.
I have read the whole thread twice now, and literally no one has "condemned" or even said anything negative about Tesla employees. Plenty of condemnation of the CEO and his behavior, but not the employees.
Maybe they are pre-emptively giving up on any meaningful sales numbers in Canada (assuming the Tarriffs happen, leading to cost increases and potential boycotts) and just trying to lock in as many sales as they can now before that happens. They can always reduce prices later or cancel the...
Gen 2 Dual Max R1S owner for about 7 months. Highly recommend, but we did have a major issue when we picked it up. They took care of it and gave us a loaner while it was being fixed. They then brought the vehicle to us when it was ready so we didn't have to drive back to pick it up. We've only...
This probably has a lot more to do with the Tarriffs than exchange rates, but Rivian doesn't want to say anything that would make them a target of the Trump/Musk administration, so they are blaming it on exchange rates instead.
Many thanks to Mygrain and all the other helpful posters in this thread. I used the advice posted here to complete the forms to apply for the $7500 tax credit (1040-X for Amended 2022 tax return, and 2022 version of form 8936). 2025 R1S Dual/Max with binding purchase agreement, delivery in...
Update: Mobile Service guy came to fix it yesterday. He opened up the door panel, found a loose connector, and fixed it in about 30 minutes start to finish. Window is working normally again!
This was my first experience with Rivian mobile service and it was awesome.
