OP here, thanks for the feedbacks. I hate to say it, but I don't have a launch edition configured and I really want the pre-price change quad motor. :) I have a call with a guide tomorrow. I'm based out of Austin, so I think if I can understand the service center situation a bit better I may...

I received an email stating that I will be invited to the "purchase experience" s00n, but don't yet have a guide. As a early VIN Tesla owner, I am okay waiting a bit to let others work out the first model year bugs. Has anyone delayed their order successfully?

Yep, also for newer vehicles they had a forced "recall" (I got the letter and everything) to disable adding custom sounds to the PWS. Mind they didn't change it or remove the PWS but just added user selectable sound in addition to playing the default PWS. You weren't able to play a blank...

The rules apply to manufacturers. The question was if there is anything Rivian can do to enable this option and if there is a way the rules state to do so please point it out because lots of people would be happy. Here is a link to the requirements...

I thought this article was interesting which shows a measurable difference in mounting a roof box "the wrong way": https://electrek.co/2020/03/24/tesla-model-3-roof-rack-box-range-efficiency/

I think Dirty_B is agreeing with you. If you only get 11.5kwh in one hour and 11.5kwh will get you 22 miles in real life (24 miles epa), he is suggesting that Rivian find ways to make the vehicle more efficient in order to get or exceed the current epa rating, not improve the charging kw. That...

kw and kwh are not second nature to most people. Even this post "use kwh ... when telling other people how fast you are charging.". But kwh is how much, not how fast. kwh per hr would be a charge speed, and that's just kw. Even though we are a two EV family, kw has no meaning to my wife and...

I don't see any way around it, but this datasheet kind of shows how outdated the thinking is where many/most EVs are going to be "Other (describe)" write-ins. Fluids? Yes, wiper fluids are topped...

What is the width of the tailgate from inner corner to corner where the pad would hang over and not get caught in closing? I see specs for bed width but not sure if that is the same.

Having early vin cars before, I am okay waiting. That said if I could choose to keep all OC interior but change the wood trim I would.

Would also love to know how to lower tax liabilities, as a family of 4, two full time W2 jobs, self employment, and rental properties federal income tax is our single largest expense by several orders of magnitude than anything else. It's the full time employment that kills us. Sounds like we...

Watching this thread. I have two Tesla's, one with the older "colored" UV protection and a newer tinted one. Both feel fine for me in Texas. I am curious if there is a good heat/UV external ppf option that would work well on the glass roof. If there is and it's easy enough for DIY I may just...

The Tesla reverse PWS is louder than any other vehicle on my block except a neighbor's turbo diesel. It's ridiculously loud, I don't know if that is due to regulation. I wouldn't mind if it started loud for the first second or two or adjusted to the ambient noise level but not 100% the...

Here is a video https://abc7.com/tesla-model-3-car-freezes-while-driving-la-drivers-freezing/11743278/ It appears to me autopilot (cruise) continued to work until driver pressed the brakes (as expected). To me it appears the car accelerates past the semi when using the accelerator (as...

The article claims the car was "stuck going 83 miles per hour" which was not true. When the infotainment screen freezes one can no longer hear turn signals, etc. That is certainly concerning as a driver, but the article or driver is overreacting assuming they were not working. As the article...

Tesla did the same (deliver out of order). When putting my deposit down I assumed that deposit date is likely the last thing they will order by for delivery. Maybe the neighbor also bought accessories like camp kitchen, tent and they are prioritizing those for finance reasons (cash flow).

I changed from silver->white and added a spare (road). I added the spare because the description says it comes with "everything you need to change the tire" so if that includes jack, jack stand, socket, rim, and tire that feels "worth it." Not really related to price change but more because I...

I think it is driven by reducing inventory on the balance sheet for the quarter, not total deliveries. Even if vehicles are produced at a steady state (and ignore supply chain inventory), there will always be inventory due to shipping, scheduling appointments, etc. So the only way to reduce...

Is anyone adding options due to the price increase and getting to add pre price increase add-ons? It's tempting to "upgrade" wheels, add tent and kitchen, etc. But I am pretty sure I am not using the tent (as a family of 4) and I think I would prefer cooler box/picnic table and tail gate...
