Not worth the likely vandalism of my Rivian to do something like that. But hey, I can respect the move, even if it’s a bit unhinged.

So you’re saying that a comparable BMW, Audi, or Lexus would not have also been totaled if a ~5,000 pound F-150 hit one as hard as it hit the Rivian?

The repair costs are really high, but wouldn’t a comparable vehicle from BMW, Audi, or Lexus probably also be totaled if a ~5,000 pound F-150 plowed into it like that?

I think it has something to do with all of these collisions causing so little damage to the Rivian vs the other vehicle. Compared to typical ICE vehicles like the Grand Cherokee, this is not something people are accustomed to seeing. Thus, they post pics of crashes more often and then people...

The earliest Rivian consumer deliveries are just over 3 years old and depreciation is usually exponential rather than linear. It’s also tied heavily to a wildly unpredictable market due to constantly changing tariff policies and the likely elimination of any federal EV tax credits. Right now...

You probably will - I didn’t like it at first, but now I really like it. But now I keep forgetting to turn off my rental cars!

Original G1 crew looking like we got a steal more and more every day. Although I’d be all over a new G2 quad if money wasn’t a consideration, especially with better range.

Giving a shoutout to the Portland service center. I know it's only anecdotal, but it seems like service center efficiency is getting much better across the country. Yes, it takes a while to get something scheduled, but Portland turned my truck around in 30 hours despite some pretty significant...

So ridiculously untrue, but I’m definitely not gonna change your mind - this response is for others who might see your false statements. The IRS offices have been open and staffed throughout the pandemic. They were actually one of the only offices in the Portland federal building that had...

Exactly. It’s called the “anchor” effect and once people get used to the new normal, there’s usually no viable reason to lower prices again.

I get what you’re saying - C suite folks probably aren’t stellar, emphatic people we want our kids to emulate. We don’t know any of them personally and only get to base our opinions on what they publicly say. It’s why you never want to meet your heroes, right? But when one of them says and does...

Fair, it was more of a tongue in cheek thing. It’s a far better vehicle than the Solterra, and yes the dealer network is a huge bonus if things go wrong. I’d miss the front trunk too much and the interior is just no where near the level of quality as Rivian. The standard pack Rivians do have a...

Do you not have insurance? I’m sure it’ll be expensive, but how is it devastating for you personally? Doesn’t really matter if it’s $1,000 in damage or $50,000, either way your deductible is all you’re paying. I’m confused about what the issue is.

So you’re gonna buy one?

Probably around 250-260 is my guess for the base. Considering the max pack upgrade is 10k right now, I don’t think the cheapest long range option will be 60k - probably closer to 55k or 10k more than whatever the base ends up being. But either way, the 45k base R2 is a far, far better vehicle...

I think the massive increases are happening with everyone. I shopped around but insurance is just really, really expensive right now. Also, your credit score plays a huge role in your insurance rate, so any changes there will play a part. Make sure your credit score/report at all 3 reporting...

I find it hard to believe anyone is defending EV Base. A poorly designed website - their fault - which advertises one thing but sells another is not an excuse in any line of business. I wish all the cases I litigated were this black and white because I’d never have to go to trial again!

I doubt anyone else will get the quote, but epic movie!

If you haven’t opened it, I’d return it and get a hard shell one off Amazon from Bamacar (or one of the many that are just like it), no doubt UNLESS you must fit it solely over the bed of the truck. If you are putting the RTT on the S, then definitely go with a hardshell. Set up and takedown is...

Solid tent and I have one, but it doesn’t fit the Rivian crossbars without quite a bit of wrangling. I’m not sure how the tariffs have affected the prices, but there have been lots of really good hard shell RTTs on Amazon over the past year for the same price that I’ve wanted to upgrade to but...
