My advice is to shop installer and not film. Both Suntek and XPEL have a nice product that works very well and is supported well. If you prefer a clear film, then I would suggest Suntek as the installed product looks better. Once again, shop installer, not the film.
I've been offered $3000 for all four without tires, but you are absolutely right, people do love them! One would imagine, since you can't buy them anymore that would add to their desirability.....
I have my own idea's as there are obvious chinks in the Rivian order system, but YES, that's exactly what I'm asking......going to contact my guide, going to contact my service center GM, going to pay someone to move me up...(wink)....
I've just placed a reservation for another R1T. It's a bit of an experiment on seeing if I can circumvent the end of 2023 delivery date Rivian has provided. Any guesses from the pro's here on the forums for an actual delivery date or if I have a chance to 'jump-the-queue" as a few have done...
The issue is not because they are a private entity, the 'issue' is exactly what you stated, VW was legally bound by the American US Govt.,to do it. America absolutely has skin in the game because it was legally mandated by the US to take care of this.... The CEO, President and CFO are all ex VW...

Thank you! Great trip and an informative post! This needs to go to EA and every EV media outlet that cares................EA is constantly bs-ing and talking about some 95% uptime nonsense.......They must be run by the same VW folks that ripped off American consumers on their diesel scam and...
Wheels, tires, accessories and vehicles fall into the arena of personal preference...everyone has a favorite pizza and yours might not be mine.....I was born and raised in San Diego, which makes me genetically inclined to off-road, baja, supercross, moto-x, etc., so 20" AT's all the way for me...
Elon is the reason the R1's even exist....he is the single biggest influencer in the modern era as one man changed a 100+ year old industry in less than a decade (Got that out of the way). Every manufacturer of any merit and many that have zero are introducing EV's and in some cases a 100%...
I can actually answer this question ;)..........We've already had a few 112F+ days here....I would say the AC is not quite as efficient overall as my Tundra (what a robust truck!), but there is one very important area where it outperforms the Tundra and that is when the vehicle is stopped...
