My original plan about 2 years ago or so was to buy a Model Y but could never get in for a test drive and then I considered a Model X especially with that free supercharging last year until the CEO went full heel. I will say with Rivian every interaction I had with them for test drives and my...

Was this a trade-up from an existing Rivian because they wouldn't budge jack squat on price just a few weeks ago even after they screwed me around pre-delivery day? The local space employees were great and made all sorts of promises and assurances but when I called them out during post-purchase...

I saw one of each at my local Service Center when I dropped my car off for service 2 weeks ago. I still regret not just getting a Dune instead of my flawed Dual Max from inventory that I ended up with that has been in service since new.

I hate to see you continue to have issues with your "new" Rivian. I'll say it again but ironically, your thread is what gave me the greatest pause in buying a Rivian but after reading so many success stories I took the plunge and have had a far from ideal experience. I had refreshed hope when...

FWIW, in the 1 week I had my Gen 2 Dual Max in about 3-4 drives I had before it went into the Service Center I was getting just over 3 mi/kWh with 20" AT. I am no lead foot and the Austin traffic probably helped. 90% of my drive to/from work is highway 60-70MPH with rolling hills. Caveat is...

Sorry, yes that was a typo. gen1 Quad is the loaner

You know, I read alot about people experiencing vampire drain on their Rivians but in the 1 week I had my Gen2 R1S I think I lost maybe 2-5% battery sitting in my garage before it ended up at the service center for delivery day issues. The loaner “Gen1” R1S Quad I got on the other hand driving...

Congratulations and welcome! I too scoured these forums for months before purchase but unfortunately I had one of those nightmare delivery experiences I prayed I wouldn't encounter and my vehicle is in service now. I feel like 90% of people have a smooth experience and 10% of us hit a snag.

In general, with the severe weather totaling out cars (flooding, fires, hurricanes, tornados) across the US on top of rising accident rates we all are paying for it. Also, for Progressive, my dad recently got them for their brand new car because they were the cheapest and when he got...

This makes sense why they had a whole section extra of toilet paper on pallets this weekend. Maybe I should have bought an extra :CWL:. During the pandemic shortage one guy on my street had his garage opened and I saw one complete side of his garage was filled top to bottom (no pun intended)...

Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe I read/saw that the rear cargo area still has the carpet in the R1S Dune and it's just the passenger areas that have that different, easier to clean flooring.

Hey, my wife has an Ascent Touring that we got specifically for rear seat access for our son. The R1S was one of very few suitable alternatives so that's what I just bought. I think myself and a few others missed the fact that you have a donor seat. I think it's cool that you are exploring...

Are you guys replacing the badges with aftermarket darked out badges or what are you using to dark them out?

I realize you said there is a video coming but did the insurance total out your deer damaged R1S or are you trading it as-is into Rivian for this new R1S Tri?

We've talked about moving to the RGV or SPI when we get older and then I realized the closest Rivian Service Center would be San Antonio :oops:

I'm curious if you went with the XPEL Stealth and how it has held up longterm

You paid to have it repaired to new, I would not accept this work.

I literally drove my Rivian straight home on delivery day, around the block to show the family the next day (Easter Sunday), backed out of the garage to wash it this past Sunday (when I found the car covered in baked rust spots hidden under the dirt given to me on delivery day) and then to the...

I'm so glad to hear this but concerned you had to go to the mothership for resolution as that is not an option for most people including myself. I have been following along your story since I started the journey of buying our own Rivian and it gave me pause but the many anecdotes of yours being...

For those who are following or interested. I was able to change my order and went for an inventory R1S Dual Motor Max Battery with Ocean Coast interior, premium sound and AT Package. A part of me regrets not sticking with the Dune R1S but this setup came out to $8k less when is nothing to shake...
