I think RJ hinted at this during the last earnings call. He said the order backlog "will continue to exist through the remainder of this year."
I think this is where they are now. I'm in one of the areas they weren't delivering to, and I got an email last month saying: We’ve been working hard...
I've been wondering that too. I figured that the reason it was free when I used it was because it hadn't been officially announced as open yet, but I just checked the app and it's still showing as free.
I do. I selected a Launch Green R1S from the shop on Feb 26. I was expecting a 2023 VIN when I picked it, but was happy to see a 2024 VIN once it popped up in my account.
I went through this same dilemma a couple of weeks ago. I was trying to decide between launch green and forest green. I ended up going for the launch green. The first time I ever saw the color in person was when picking up my vehicle at the service center last week. I'm completely happy that I...
I used the Baton Rouge RAN twice yesterday on my way from New Orleans to Lake Charles and back. It was convenient to pop into the Trader Joe's to use the bathroom and buy some granola and other snacks. Added a few kWh at a level 2 charger while I was in Lake Charles giving me enough juice to get...
Same as others, my contract said 100, vehicle had 15. I had to fill out make, model, VIN, mileage, etc. on the loan check from my my credit union, then mail the check to Rivian ahead of picking it up, so 100 on the paperwork instead of the actual mileage made things simpler.
Well, I took your advice and grabbed a Launch Green R1S with 20" AT Dark wheels from the shop. Picked it up this weekend and couldn't be happier. The color is awesome!
Or compare it to an electric Mini. Over the past year, I’m at 1.6 cents per mile for charging my Cooper SE. That’s with $0.125/kWh (including taxes and fees) at home, free level 2 charging around town, and 4 DC charging sessions on a short road trip.
Seriously. I've managed to take my MINI SE from New Orleans to as far as Dallas, but there are some serious gaps and no redundancy along the route. The only CCS chargers around Baton Rouge currently are at car dealerships with limited access and/or low speeds.
I'm scheduled to finally pick up...
Are there two different version of the compact spare, one for 20" wheels and one for 21" & 22" wheels? I think there is just one spare for all R1S's. Since 275/60R20 is roughly the same overall diameter as the OEM tires on the 21" & 22" wheels, it shouldn't be a problem.
My "update" in Louisiana:
We’re writing to provide context on how regulatory restrictions in your state are impacting your Rivian delivery and why we are unable to provide you with a delivery window estimate at this time.
Current state-level dealer protection laws prohibit us from opening a...
Ugh, just got this email:
We previously told you that you could expect your delivery window estimate this January. As we continue planning the roll out of a Rivian Service Center in your area, we need more time to understand when that site will be ready to support your vehicle's delivery and...
I think I followed these instructions correctly, and I see this: "estimatedDeliveryWindow": null,
I've been on "Processing estimate" for the past three months, hoping for an update today.
