I don’t know but when I’ve used the membership before on another vehicle it was like $500-1000 off. My guess is it is something similar. Whether it works on a lease or not, I don’t know. On my next Rivian, I’ll tell them I have Costco membership and see if it helps but I only lease these.

Got it a few hours ago. But haven’t checked it out yet

I wonder if Rivian can add variable heating by software update like my other cars had so we can turn it down if it gets too hot?

I mostly tell Alexa to STFU.

I heard today from a tech that Roswell is online now. But it's limited at the moment.

Not making any excuses for Rivian, but you are talking about Miami. I lived there for quite a while. Good customer service is not something anyone in Miami should expect from any establishment, period. And that’s coming from someone who otherwise loves Miami.

ICE vehicles can also lose breaks. Whether EV or ICE, catastrophic break failure is rare. In both, the appropriate action is to pull the emergency parking brake….in EV usually hold down a button. Although the experience of a break failure is understandably traumatic, I do think it can happen to...

So true. This is Atlanta.

Insurance usually caps rentals for periods of weeks to a month. It’s not indefinite.

It’s understandable. I’d be pissed too. I love my R1S so as angry as I would be, I’d not give it up. Perhaps if this was your daily and not your wife’s, things might be different but I understand. As devil’s advocate, supply problems can happen with any company. But again, everyone has a limit...

R1 for business. Volvo ice for personal use. But this just makes sense for business. Will likely change the Volvo out for an R2.

Rivian tech told me today that a service center is coming to Alpharetta soon. They are pushing for later this year but will see. Don’t know how large.

Perhaps. But Mercedes and BMW have used synthetic materials for the wheels for decades. And they have been just fine.
