Had an odd experience last night. Was creeping down a fairly steep hill at a crawl of a pace (traffic wasn't moving due to ice covered roads, the city was basically one big parking lot). Put it in snow mode for the first time ever, and when I would move/creep a few feet forward down the hill and...
Not sure if anyone up here has already received theirs, but I just received the email about shipping, supposed to be here Monday. That’s right on time with the email estimate they sent a month or two ago.
Can someone who knows more about wheels than me (ie, most people) tell me if this wheel is compatible with the R1T? I've had this one recommended with winter tires (Blizzaks) for the winter. I noticed the offset is 25, which I think is lower than the stock 21s I have now.
And different...
Did anyone else get contacted by ICBC? Apparently they have now figured out their permanent insurance rating and the premium just went WAY up and I owe them another $544!?
Have there been any rumours about when we'll see Rivian start putting any chargers up north of the 49th? Can't imagine it's in their top 50 fiscal priorities at the moment.
Not sure if anyone caught this, but BC may finally open up a time of day pricing OPTION. If approved, you could keep the existing two tier model, or have an optional time of day component (5 cent/ kWh credit for electrons used from 11pm-7am and a 5 cent/kWh penalty for electrons used from...
Just a heads-up for those few it might apply to (Canada specific, no idea about USA) - Rivian currently only provides financing to individuals, not businesses. So plan ahead :)
A new R1T has arrived in my neighbourhood! Turns out it's a friend of a friend, and he was a super early reso holder from the US, but moved up here in the meantime and just took delivery a few days ago. I understand he had been contacted earlier this year but everything was delayed for him...
Has anyone had any insight into insurance costs yet? I'm sure once we start getting them and posting them, the rest of North America will laugh. I tried asking an insurance agent earlier this year but he didn't know and guessed it would be similar to a Tesla.
Does anyone know if the inclusion of the wall charger counts towards the vehicle luxury tax threshold? Or is that counted differently because it's not technically part of the truck?
As I constantly read about owners not being able to get into their R1Ts, I get more worried every week. Obviously the key cards and phone options are struggling with reliability, has anyone been having major issues with the key fobs? I keep hoping this one gets sorted long before I ever see one...
