I can tell you from being in the automotive business, RivIan used prices have tanked over the past few months on both R1T and S. R1T’s going for upper $80k range with very low miles vs $100k plus 3-6 months ago. R1S down to low $100k now from $125k range.
Tesla’s prices dropped to fall...
I was excited for the R1S until I saw one in person. I thought it would be bigger. I'm a bit disappointed it. My delivery window is estimated for late 23 so I will only take delivery if I am close to being out of warranty on my R1T
This was probably something for the interim as parts are likely limited. I'm sure down the road they would retrofit those who need it but currently, other than being loud, I have no issues.
There is a video on youtube, I posted it here but they removed it. It is a guy charging his R1T at all the different speeds only to find they all charge about the same rate over the same amount time. This is because when you go to a 350kwh it has to slow speeds for cooling. I've noticed this...
I had the same messages but I walked away from the truck, locked it and returned to normal operation. I've had my truck in the shop twice for two minor repairs. Once I was given a Enterprise car and the second a loaner R1T. Both times I was updated as work was being done/completed so their...
I've thought the same thing many times over...
Your fear of screens going blank happened to me. Rivian fixed it in one day, gave me a loaner Rivian which I am in now and are driving 60 miles tomorrow to swap my truck for their loaner while I am at work.
Electrify America has 350kwh in Jax x 2(Avenues), Ormond Beach x 4 (SR40 Walmart), Florida Mall x 4 (OBT Orlando). Florida Mall and Ormond were free the other day. I rarely use them but just in case. I only use EA chargers when needed. I live in Lake Mary, there are a ton of other brands by...
Coming out of Hellcat Durango into the R1T, it's anything but slow. Now, the S Plaid is insanely quick and I would be a little terrified in a pickup doing 1.99 0-60 but there is nothing in the truck/suv segment that can compare with quickness of the R1T. The R1S claims to have the same specs...
I was told by Rivian the full front facia would have to be removed to access the front camera and the rear bumper would need to be removed for the back camera. I am having mine replaced. I've never tried to reach under.
If it makes you feel better, I'll be retiring in about 18 months when my son graduates high school at just under 41. To each their own, right? Make your way how you want, and I'll do mine.
I am not telling anyone to just suck it up, all I am saying is expect to have problems with a new release. Maybe I am used to it cause I work for the Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram brand and nobody is worse at releasing a new vehicle than we are. Our brand has had so many hard landings you think we...
The count's view is that of old money. Chances are, when he started, he wasn't throwing money around because unless he was gifted it, he didn't have it. He was borrowing just like the rest of us. Don't start at the bottom, get to the top and then look down on those climbing the ladder, telling...
That is the point of view from someone with money. I will never tell anyone what to do with their money. My perspective and yours are two different ones, but both are completely irrelevant to what someone else wants to do. I finance every vehicle at 60mos and put $0 every time. Including my...
