Received the check from IRS today for $8643.95 ($7500+interest). I had pretty much given up hope that it would ever be approved, but the appeal letter + documents worked!

Used R1S prices will likely come down significantly when the first batch of leases term out and hit the used market. Not sure when that will be exactly though, maybe sometime in 2027?

Well I got a denial letter dated 2/4/2025 stating: "We can't allow your claim for Form 8936 Plug-In Electric Drive Motor Vehicle. Eligible Vehicles must be placed in service as follows: Qualified two-wheeled plug-in electric vehicles - acquired before but placed in service in 2022." The letter...

From Krugman's post this morning: "Well, as one commenter pointed out, the thing about 150-year-old Social Security beneficiaries may be another comical error. Apparently in COBOL — obsolete in the business world but still used in government — a missing date of birth is registered as 1875...

I hear you, but two points: 1. That's not what he said, and it's clearly not the same thing 2. Throwing out the baby with the bathwater is EXACTLY what Musk is doing with the Federal government. And it is causing infinitely more damage than boycotting Tesla could ever do.

I have read the whole thread twice now, and literally no one has "condemned" or even said anything negative about Tesla employees. Plenty of condemnation of the CEO and his behavior, but not the employees.

Maybe they are pre-emptively giving up on any meaningful sales numbers in Canada (assuming the Tarriffs happen, leading to cost increases and potential boycotts) and just trying to lock in as many sales as they can now before that happens. They can always reduce prices later or cancel the...

I could be wrong, but a year ago the exchange rate for 1 USD was $1.35 CD and now it is $1.43 CD. I don't get how that explains a $10K price increase.

Gen 2 Dual Max R1S owner for about 7 months. Highly recommend, but we did have a major issue when we picked it up. They took care of it and gave us a loaner while it was being fixed. They then brought the vehicle to us when it was ready so we didn't have to drive back to pick it up. We've only...

This probably has a lot more to do with the Tarriffs than exchange rates, but Rivian doesn't want to say anything that would make them a target of the Trump/Musk administration, so they are blaming it on exchange rates instead.

Many thanks to Mygrain and all the other helpful posters in this thread. I used the advice posted here to complete the forms to apply for the $7500 tax credit (1040-X for Amended 2022 tax return, and 2022 version of form 8936). 2025 R1S Dual/Max with binding purchase agreement, delivery in...

Update: Mobile Service guy came to fix it yesterday. He opened up the door panel, found a loose connector, and fixed it in about 30 minutes start to finish. Window is working normally again! This was my first experience with Rivian mobile service and it was awesome.

After resetting Trip B, the efficiency shown for Trip B is now around 2.7 m/kwh (with only about 20 miles of driving so far). I'm assuming if I reset Trip A the same will happen, but haven't done it yet.

Thanks, glad to hear i'm not the only one. Will see what happens after trip reset.

Yes i'm thinking the kwh is off by a factor of 10. I'm not going to add up every charging session, but there's no way we used that much power to drive it ~1500 miles.

Trip odometers were never reset - the mileage shown in the photo (1573.9 miles) is the total mileage on the vehicle and was shown for both Trip A and Trip B on the screen. I actually just reset the trip B meter - AFTER posting this - to see what would happen, but haven't driven it yet. Trip A...

Have not done a hard reset yet. I have an email in to Rivian Service and will see what they say before doing a reset I think.

Just noticed this yesterday, not sure if it's new or if it has been showing this for a while, but this seems about 10X lower than it should be. We've only been driving it for about 5 weeks now but have had 2 software updates in the last week. Has anyone else seen something like this? Also just...

So it's both longer and significantly wider than the R1S but no 3rd row...weird. Seems very off-road oriented but a bit too large to be practical. Like a Hummer EV maybe. Efficiency will be worse than R1 so it will need a huge battery to hit 350 miles of range. Styling looks good, nice to see...

Looks nice, but it's just a concept at this point, and some of those features may not make it to production - It's at least 3 years away from production, and highly unlikely the starting price will be anywhere near $60K. Pretty much every EV SUV and Truck has come in significantly higher than...
