Nice. Gonna have a new toy right at the start of summer.

Ugh. One is more than enough ?. Meant “wife’s”

Me too. My wife was on the fence and never actually committed to buying the R1S. But once this happened, all of a sudden it was “so when are we getting it?” Before I was alway super careful to be noncommittal about it and talked about it in theory to not scare her away from it. Now, the purchase...

Isn’t your preorder actually worth thousands of dollars now? I mean, if you have a preorder from March 1, 2022, your truck/suv is worth $14,000 less than those who ordered on March 2, 2022. There are a lot of ways to make some cold hard cash from that.

Agreed. New price was reasonable for the type of vehicle but still could not stomach $100k for a vehicle. I would have had to downgrade to stay with Rivian.

I did not change mine. Maybe I was too lazy or maybe I didn’t lose the fair. It was probably the fact that there is no other replacement option for a 7 seat electric SUV now or over the next few years. Either way, glad I stayed. Plus I am an investor so gotta have faith.

I don’t know if I was too lazy or if I never lost faith but I didn’t cancel or change my reservation. Some people were saying to hold the line for 1 week and see if they reversed course. No way in hell I thought they would reverse course. Insane that they did but I’m glad. Blue R1S Adventure...

Wooooooow!!!!! That was an astronomical fail. I thought they had made a crude but savvy business decision but man, the reversal was swift and frankly, a little unexpected. Initially, I was 100% sure I would pay more than the price in the configurator (not 20% more) but certainly not locked in at...

The BMW iX is probably the only possible replacement for me. I wanted the R1S for the 7 seats so the iX is not ideal since only a 5 seater. In the past, I would not have considered it since it was so expensive (starts at $84k). Now though, the price is comparable in price to the R1S. Still not...

I’m there with everyone on being disappointed about the price hikes. My R1S is now at $98,000; I would need to ditch all my options and go with the Explorer with all free options to even be close to my budget now. I also invest over $20k on Rivian, which is worth about $10k at this point so I...

I’m still waiting for mine too. Send me a sticker at least.

I currently have a Model 3 and love it but I am in the market for a new SUV. I will keep the Model 3 and I currently have a preorder for a R1S. I was initially thinking about a Model Y but the 7 seat option is not really practical and the prices increased about $10k in less than a year and the...

Oh man. That thing was destroyed. City of Irvine; Rivian’s HQ; good chance it was an employee. What a shame. At least the driver seemed to be fine.

That combination looks pretty sweet.

This seems like the beginning of The Hangover Part 4.

Cool shots. Thanks for sharing.

Who? Haha, jk. I didn’t even know adt was still around. Kind of like seeing a Kmart. And now Ford is partnering with them. No wonder their software is patchy. They don’t keep its development in-house.

Dang. I missed the photo before it was taken down. I wonder what happened. Was it really Rivian reaching out to the Admin asking to take it down? Crazy. In that case, please hurry along my R1S ?

Actually, that brings up a good point. For the R1T you can technically have two RTTs, right? One on the roof and one on the bed. Wild. I’m sure someone will try it.

That all makes sense. I am also a little dismayed about the incredibly low efficiency ratings for it (R1S). It’s big and powerful but so is the Model X. I guess those big wheels and 4 motors and it’s slightly bigger size than the X cost quite a bit in efficiency. I live in So CA so hopefully we...
