It may or may not be needed but I want the best result and it's pretty easy, just spray it on, wait for the iron to turn purple then rinse off. I normally buy BMWs so by the time they leave the factory in Germany, get loaded onto a train, then put on a ship, then put on a truck to get to the...
I do my own ceramic coating. I use CQuartz UK 3.0 which has been great and is really easy to apply. Just a bit time consuming to do all the prep work (thorough wash, clay bar, minor paint correction, iron decontamination with IronX, polish with CarPro Essence for a better bond for the coating...
It's funny how all these best practices for EVs pretty much replicate the same debates people have with ICE cars (like how long you need to idle on a cold engine before driving off, how long to break in an engine, etc...).
My opinion is that the worst things you can do is full charge to 100%...
I will be transferring my Blackvue DR900S from my current car to the Rivian when I get it. However I am not sure if anyone has fuse tapped it since I really want to continue having pretty sensitive parking mode recording. On my current car it records and gets out of parking mode once there the...
The original preorder agreement also stated that they can adjust the price so nothing is changing by signing the agreement. Even for pre-March orders Rivian just gave their word to honor those prices out of good faith but legally they can still increase prices if they wanted.
Just got email from Rivian to sign the agreement. It was a little different for me since I cancelled and reinstated in March.
Wording was slightly different but Rivian was thankfully able to send this under the wire. Signed and authorized them to charge the $1000.
How do I agree to the...
Yup I am a bit nervous as well. Normally I would just wait since I know they are trying to get to everyone now but with the deadline possibly being as early as Friday it puts some pressure. If I don't hear anything tomorrow evening I am going to reach out to CS.
Same here. My only concern is that the nearest drag strip from me is about 75 miles away with no chargers nearby and unless I didn't see it I am not sure at what SOC will performance start dropping.
If they do hopefully the process won't be difficult for those like me who cancelled after the March price increase and then reinstated. I asked Rivian a bunch of times about charging me the $1000 again and they said they will get to it at some point then just told me that they don't plan on...
Man I love the look of the 21s with the covers removed and powdercoated black but I wish there was an AT tire available for the 21s. There's a bunch for the 22s with pics from another thread but the 21s with ATs would be awesome.
This. I never had any luck in any lottery type thing in my life. Even if I am a late preorder and the "Rivian lottery" is in my favor I would much rather have it so as close to sequential based off order date and with specified configurations that can accelerate/delay delivery.
Pretty much the same for me except I am an Oct 21 preorder. I switched from R1S to R1T at the beginning of July and I have asked CS if there are any First Mile drives available and they said there are none available for my account at the moment.
Ouch that blows. I know it still need more info but can't really fault the service center if they had to test drive the truck and in doing so someone crashed into them. If it's found that the technician driving the car was at fault then it's a different story. Either way make sure to make a...
I don't think it's anything nefarious but rather just the individual shops providing misinformation or providing details on what they can or cannot do.
My local shop called me and highly advised me not go for the Rivial package and to instead go with their normal pricing. They specifically told...
Basically if you are going to be buying a level 2 charging station for your home make sure you check your local utility company or and local/state offers for discounted chargers or for rebates. The higher amp ones with fancy smart tech get pretty expensive.
I had my charger installed last year...
