For those who have purchased or started the 8 steps, how has the financing process worked? If you went through Rivian, did you get approval right away or need to wait?

A few people have reported that the silver plate in the front is only included in the off road package. Unless they've decided to stick with that plate for all vehicles for simplicity.

Agreed. As a Tesla owner and frequent road tripper on the Supercharger Network, seeing those prices with EA always surprise me. That pricing change coming from a Tesla will be hard to swallow. Last summer I drove from SE MN to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks and back, some 3k+...

With the tonneau cover closed and the tailgate down, what is the measurement from bed to the underside of the cover? Trying to determine the maximum height an item could be to slide into the bed while allowing the cover to close/stay closed.

I wonder if that is going to just be a software update to the vehicle and their charger they are already selling, or if it's going to end up being a whole new product.

I contacted them I think the Friday before the pricing fiasco and didn't get a narrowed window. Was told still on track for May-June. so YMMV ?‍♂️

May-June window for R1T

A concern I have that wasn't really addressed in the email is what they are going to do to address their continual lack of communication. RJ recognized to us 9 months ago that they had a big problem there and promised they would work to do better. Then radio silence from them. I would have...

I didn't change anything. I was really upset with the price change and was struggling with which way I would go. I was holding out hope they would reverse course for at least some portion of the preorders. Ultimately last night I had decided that I was still going to go through with it. I...

With how they handled this situation, I don't think they'll even answer any "reservation" question on their earnings call. They'll say something like "so far we've had 80k preorders" but fail to again mention how many have cancelled. There are so many ways they can spin it and be technically...

I'm out on the stock. Should have sold it long ago but I held on believing in the vision/brand the company was building. I didn't care about gains/losses as I was fully on board. Not anymore. Sold at a loss and I really don't care. I'm in the same boat as a few others just hoping they will...

Additionally, the cold weather testing was done in MN.

Right! So annoying hearing his "I kinda like that" and "Thats ok" throughout the whole interview/demo. Just acted so unimpressed, even when he would specifically say he was impressed his face and tone wouldn't change. I know it was all live and on camera but RJ was very courteous and...

Very excited. Wasn't expecting a service center in MN this soon.

Heck yes! As @Monkey states you can do load balancing with this unit which is exactly what I want to do. I currently have a Gen2 Tesla wall connector for my Model 3 so to do the load balance I would have to buy another Gen2 on ebay or else purchase 2 new Gen3 wall connectors and an adapter for...

Not with that attitude ;)

That is operating a lot quieter than the few other videos I've seen out there.

I can agree with that. Mt concern is I see many journalist, bloggers, YouTubers, every day people using 50% as their baseline for any EV towing and then act not as if that's worst case scenario, but that it's best case. At least this has been my experience. I think its just one of those areas...

Agreed. My wife and I watched some of the press reviews and she really didn't care for them. "Cool features but I know all this stuff already" was pretty much what she was saying during the videos. She liked (and I did too) the Motor Trend ones because it showed the people just enjoying a...

The thing that annoys me when talking to anyone about towing with an EV is the instant assumption of 50% range loss. As others have said there are so many factors that play into it. Wind, weight, elevation changes, etc. But how often are you actually maxing out the towing capacity? When I...
