LMAO 'Geoff' FTW

Yeah, consider the source - Munro thinks the inside and manufacturing of the Tesla model 3 and Y are absolutely fantastic. Every time I get in my Model Y I am reminded of my first car - a 1979 Dodge Colt which was so stripped it only had AM radio and no A/C. So, IMHO Munro's opinion is bunk...

I think your concerns are well justified. But, the only thing that would make me fly instead of drive would be the charging network, nothing else. Rivians map app can be bypassed with a simple Apple Carplay/phone stuck to the dash with a magnetic holder, and based on lots of road trips Ive...

I am in exactly the same boat. My guide is very responsive, but really has no information aside from "Youll get a new estimate in January" - says to me my truck is not coming any time soon.

I was told by my guide earlier that since I am a '22 order holder I also cannot get access to the store. But, my configuration is locked so that might also be the thing. He also keeps saying we are going to get "Updated delivery windows in January" - even though my estimate was...

Understood. When I lived in Colorado I did a lot more of this kind of thing due to Mag Chloride, generally crappy roads around where I lived, rocks hail etc etc etc but here in Austin it's almost not worth it. I don't have anything on my Tesla and it looks brand new after 2 years so Im good...

I decided to remove it from my config recently, just based on the fact that I really dont drive outside of my local area, no real interstate travel, and I am going to ceramic coat the entire vehicle I think. Ill be curious to see what others here think of it. According to my guide I am still a...

Mine's changed to "Processing" as well.

Spoke with my guide today at length, he says even though my config is locked in, it may be a while - a couple of months even - before they identify a vehicle that matches my config and actually get it delivered to me. So, a little longer I guess. Was really hoping for the '22 tax credit, oh...

Today!! Got a guide and an email to confirm config. Soon....

Jumping on this bandwagon. January 22 re-order date. No contact with guide, no 8 steps, but CS verified I am on track for these dates. Located 15 minutes from the Austin, TX service center.

December-January 23

Im in Austin, signed the binding agreement, my date was pushed up not back. I cancelled my original order from 2019 because of a job loss, then reordered in 2021. No idea if that had anything to do with my new window. I too will keep the order regardless, since its the original pricing. At...

W00t - soon!!!

Ill have to go through and look at those. Comprehensive set of links you got there :) I will say - most of the time the Maverick we have is on mixed use roads west of Austin where the speed limits never get over 55. There are no highways around here. Also, the way she gets such good economy...

Ill get a screenshot next time its here. She gets 46-52 in eco mode depending on driving conditions. It really is that good.

</tangent alert> Good info, thanks. My daughter has a new Ford Maverick which has also been amazing, considering she paid $25k out the door for it. It gets 50+ MPG and gives some limited utility due to the truck form factor. Side note - I also have a Defender. Its a 2021 with the hybrid 6...

I honestly did not care much about the kitchen or the tent, but the bed cover is something I will personally miss. They say it wont have an impact on range, but I think everyone knows it will. This was the main reason I was buying it and now its going into 'redesign' which means ground up...

I too went to the Austin SC this week, met and talked to Michael, great dude. Got a chance to sit in the R1S they have out front, no drive but Im sure soon enough. There are lots of R1x there right now waiting to be delivered. One day it will be mine. BTW also in Spicewood to the poster who...

You've got some good points here. I guess it's just a matter of "we shall see" which direction it actually goes. I personally hope Rivian gets its "poop in a group" soon so I can drive their product and not some other half-a$$ imitation from one of the big three. I have to tell you - please...
