  1. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    Cell sites rely on electricity as much as the rest of us and while we can use solar power to keep ourselves going, most cell sites rely on standby generators with about 8 hours of gas. I have been thru multiple hurricanes on the East Coast and had the power go out. Once for 3+ days. It was...
  2. R2 email “expect order invite eta by the end of June”

    I don't know about location. It doesn't seem to be helping us. We live 15 minutes from Rivian's Irvine HQ and have had our reservation since November '24. However, we are still stuck in leases until at least the end of next month, so we aren't too concerned yet. We got the email #3, so we...
  3. No real AM or FM radio in the R2

    We already have a small portable radio in our Tesla Model 3 as it lacks AM radio, but to lack FM radio too is disappointing to hear.

  5. Buy a Tesla now with $7500 credit or wait for R2

    We decided to wait for our R2. Unfortunately, Tesla ate our $250 non-refundable order fee, so my initial idea was a bad one. However, if we had gone thru with it, we might well have THREE leased EVs right now, for the 2 of us and my wife hardly drives. The current 36 month leases have 19 and...
  6. Official email from Rivian offering Binding Purchase Agreement

    I have a reinstated order as well. I was contacted on Rivian on 8/11 re the IRA bill and I signed it on Monday, after weighing our options. The President signed it yesterday, so I made that deadline, but who knows how all this will play out. We just had our first test drive last week and we...
