Greater Pennsylvania Rivian Club

Howdy folks! I'm Bill from Hanover, PA. I've got a 2022 R1T Adventure Package. I've only seen a handful of Rivians in the area and am looking forward to connecting with a few other Rivian owners. ...and seeing a few more Rivians!!!

So for those of you realizing you need a PA state inspection, I just had mine done along with a tire rotation at D'Avicos Auto Repair in Wayne. They were great! They have a set of the jack pucks so no need to bring/buy them.

Hi everyone! John from Sewickley PA about 30 min outside of Pittsburgh. I am looking to sell a 21 inch road wheel and tire set with 5000k miles. I am asking $2500 or best offer.

Hi everyone! I am John in Sewickley PA about 30 min outside of Pittsburgh. I have an R1 T 2023. I am looking to sell a manual Tonneau cover that was delivered with slight defects that do not affect the seal over the bed. I am asking $800 or best offer.

Good day everyone! I'm Andre in York, Pa, 30 minutes outside of Lancaster about 2 hours from Philadelphia. I have a 23 Rivian R1T Adventure Package edition and a 22 Rivian R1S Launch Green edition. I look forward to connecting with you. I moved to PA from MD in December 23. I just got the R1T last week and had the Rivian R1S.for about 6 months.

Right now the General Chemical washer fluid is sold out. I was going to get a case (4x1 Gal) the next time it’s available. If anyone wants to go in on additional cases to save on shipping let me know. I’m in Chester County, I’m sure we could find a “meet in the middle” place to do the delivery.

Just out! March issue of Consumer Reports (p.50). Fingers crossed for their April auto issue and would be sweet if they awarded the coveted "Recommended Checkmark".

Spread the word.

See attached.


PS:
Unfortunately, C.R. crushed the R1S in its October 2023 issue. WTF, UGH

I have been a C.R. advocate for 40 years ...this hurts.

MajickDada, thank you for starting the Pennsylvania Club!

I was reading R1Thor's comment on 1-8-24 about Pennsylvania's dumb dealership laws.


Post from R1Thor
" Good to see more people in the area with Rivians! Now we just need PA to stop being dumb with their dealership laws so we don't have to drive to Gaithersburg !

I had no idea that currently Tesla basically has a monopoly in PA. I live in West Chester (southeast PA, suburbs of Phila). I have been very surprised I still don't not see many Rivians. Well, now I know why.


From House Co-Sponsorship Memoranda below
" As you may recall, the General Assembly passed Act 125 of 2014 to allow Tesla Motors to sell their electric vehicles directly to the public." [only Tesla can sell at this point]

The good news is, I found that a local congressman from nearby West Grove (Representative John Lawrence) is already at work on revising PA's Act 125 of 2014!

House Bill 1907 (see link below) is in the works but seems to be preceding very slowly. I think all of us need to make our voices heard to get this bill past. I actually would like Rivian owners across the country to speak out if possible.

WHAT CAN YOU DO? CONTACT REPRESENTATIVE JOHN LAWRENCE!

Contact | PA State Rep. John Lawrence (replawrence.com)

I have attached my own message to Rep John Lawrence in the attached Word doc. Feel free to use some of my contact to make it easier to both thank him and show your concerns about the current situation in PA.

Thank you all! Appreciate any feedback you have.

Bought a BMW 2002 in 1973 and every BMW that passed me would wave...an acknowledgment of the uniqueness of the brand (at that time!). It's happening again with my R1T, waves and headlight flashes abound in and around my Chester County neighborhood.

BTW, love my RiT. Even my wife "you buy that cyberbully truck and it gets parked in the barn!" likes it. Out of curiosity, I drove a Lightning yesterday. Nice truck, cavernous back seat and larger bed, but found it ponderous. Would hate to park it in tight parking lots.

R1T, here, in South Central (Lancaster) PA!

Lackawaxen, Lake Wallenpaupack HERE! I love seeing all the R1Ts and a few R1Ss in the area. We need a ”RIVIAN WAVE”, but all I can do is smile when I see one. Approaching 35,000 miles and we are all in. CAn’t wait for a winter trip in snow!!!

Welcome to our regional Pennsylvania Rivian Club! I am a R1S pre-order holder and received my Launch Edition Forest Green with Forest Edge interior as of March 2023. I waited 2.5 years for this baby and have been very happy so far ! I mostly wanted to start this just to see how many of us are local to the region and trade local tips and tricks on charging sites, trails, experiences, and even auto detailing specialists for those interested.

This group will hopefully attract
like minded individuals to help shape our activities. If you are interested in helping organize and curate activities, then by all means, please speak up and happy for your help and ideas ???

Villanova here, got my R1S back in April. I'm more of a sports car guy myself, hoping the Rivian becomes my wife's daily driver. But would be curious to do modest offroading somewhere in eastern PA if folks have recommendations.
