In Europe, petrol and diesel prices regularly hover between $7-8 per gallon. Coincidentally, their BEV adoption rate is almost double ours. Point being, if we cut the massive subsidies for the oil and gas industry, people will switch to EV's alarmingly fast.

Speaking from 24+ years of professional automotive industry experience, there is no easy fix to this issue. Technician positions are quite a bit more difficult to fill than they were even 5 years ago. The applicant pool of "competent, trained" technicians is maybe 10% of what it was even 5 years...

Unfortunately, we really need to do better as a society to reduce/educate/reform drug addiction in this country. That is the real answer but its not an easy one. In the meantime, we will have stuff stolen if its not bolted down and protected by turret guns...

Lockable hose/wire reel that releases once the user is authenticated.

Reading some of these posts just really drives home how awful some people are. Its really remarkable how quickly the mob mentality sets in and how fast those are to jump on the "this guy did something wrong" bandwagon. Even sherlock holmes who took the time to look up my post history, but didnt...

I got the initial order email confirming my pre-order, they mailed me the paperwork with the image of the R1-T, and I received the cancellation email. What I didnt get was any other emails, period. Rivian admits this openly as in their email denial I posted earlier. There are no tricks or...

If anyone reading this thread that actually works for Rivian and cares to help, PM me. I'm happy to send you phone records, screenshots of chat messages, and an email (singular) that I did actually receive from Rivian telling me they wont reinstate me even though they admitted they never sent me...

The letter stated they would be sending out emails so I waited about a month. The email isnt "lost", they openly admit they never sent it.

Thats what Im upset about. They openly admit they didnt email me regardless of anything else.

Like I said, they wont respond to my emails. When I call, I get a brand new customer service person that has no idea who I am, each time I explain my situation and provide them with my contact information, they say they cant find ANYTHING in their system that I have called or emailed about this...

They are saying because my emails start with info, I wouldnt have received the emails. I have chat window screenshots showing my story is true, I have emails I've sent that I can provide as proof, I can even probably dig up phone records. They wont even let me show them this stuff.

Hi XXXX, I appreciate your patience in this process; I understand it's frustrating, and it's taken a bit of time to go back and forth with my lead and Systems Team to gather as much information as possible. In speaking with our Systems Team, I did get some explanation on why emails weren't...

They are saying now I'm "outside the window" and that is the reason they cannot reinstate me.

Yep, they got those right. Just no other subsequent emails of any kind. They even admitted that they have an issue with email addresses with "info" in the address. They admit they didnt contact me. Just wont reinstate under any circumstances.

As many other preorder holders, I received the price hike to preorder holders email back in March. Like many others, after waiting for well over a year, I was devastated. I called Rivian and voiced my frustration with their decision to hike prices on preorder holders, and subsequently cancelled...
