I just have to correct the redditor whom @Zoidz is quoting (not in any way a dig at @Zoidz personally): as soon as someone mentions kilowatts per hour, I roll my eyes. 22.12 kWh divided by 13 hours is an average rate of 1.7 kilowatts. It's already a rate--that hr in the denominator is out of...

Agreed! I totally understand, and share, the "don't waste energy" attitude. Nothing wrong with that. If your concern is based on a general avoidance of waste, the guidance regarding camp mode is great! But if you're concerned about drawing down the battery charge, don't worry about it unless...

Agreed! Also, I want to know if Rivian can be convinced to add that green paintjob to their standard line! Sure, I love my Compass Yellow, but when I buy my next Rivian, I'd like some more fluorescent options!

I'd read about these (https://mevco.com/ ) but was surprised to see a truckload of them yesterday near St. Louis. Note the complete absence of Rivian badging.

Another advantage of the demo vehicles is that they register as new vehicles. And the discount drives the price below the $80k limit. So they often wind up qualifying for the tax incentive. Mine certainly did! Big caveat: I have no idea how the rules might have shifted, so don't rely on year-old...

Very nearly identical to my experience (substitute a Southwest flight for the Enterprise rental)--the folks at the Richmond service center did a fine job in all respects. Whether this will be mirrored by the SC near you is an open question. Also, I don't know if the tax incentives have changed...

The demo site lists the VINs of the vehicles, so you should be able to work that out. I believe someone posted a VIN decoder somewhere on this site.

The "destination" was $1800, the "documentation" was $347, and the title & reg was $435. Plus my state sales tax, $4543. I don't know how much location affects these, although I presume the SoCal sales tax is going to be painful! You also might want to search this site for opinions on the...

I'm about two weeks from the one-year anniversary of taking delivery of my demo R1T. No problems with it and there were no unusual hidden fees. (All vehicles sold in the US have a raft of extra charges--"destination" and "prep," things like that.) The truck was indistinguishable from brand new...

Hmmm...I'm not seeing it. But Gary is versatile.

So I was generally surfing around and discovered this poster from the 1981 French Open tennis tournament. Clearly our guardian has had a rich life, filled with adventure!

Well, another thing added to my nightmare list! That's what it'll be called forever and ever in my head.

Dude, cooking eagles is against the law! (Unless it's an ill eagle.) 😉

Congrats! I'm glad we have this thread: based on my prior experiences assembling "flat pack" items, the likelihood of running into a snag or two is very high. Having a bunch of others more or less simultaneously doing their assemblies should make resolution easier. Or, at least, we can cry on...

I still have no idea who the other person with fabulous taste is. I guess I should leave a note under a wiper blade, but that feels kinda creepy. Sooner or later, someone will say "oh, your truck looks just like..." It's not like our vehicles are subtle and stealthy!

Oh boy! Just got mine! It's a very rainy day, but the delivery came during a break in the weather. The Rivian and the delivery might have to hang out where they are, by the barn, for a day or two before we get it unloaded: I don't feel like doing that in rain or on muddy ground.

I have one and agree that it takes some "wrangling," but it's not too awful. The RTT has four clamps that open like jaws. When they are fully open, they are just a smidge too narrow for the Rivian roof bars. However, the roof bars have a narrow segment in the middle--the part that slides in when...

I received a notification yesterday from ABF that my shipment, which must be the topper (I haven't ordered anything else that weighs 200 lbs, so unless my wife has purchased another anvil (yes, that's a possibility, but she hasn't yet worn out the last one), I can't imagine it would be anything...

Yup. Brought it to the SC and they took care of it right away. It wasn't a warranty thing, so I had to pay. I can't remember how much--about $200.00.

Thanks! You've made a bunch of people happy and jealous. Can't wait til I get mine.
