We've had our R1T for about a month but have only driven 700 miles. I noticed last week that our efficiency on "Trip B" which has the total number of miles since we took delivery seems rather poor. We have been averaging around 1.7 miles/kWh. Our "Trip A" had only about 300 miles on it and had...
When I picked up my truck it was pouring rain outside, so I didn't get my first close inspection until a week later after washing my truck. I found a small dent (1" long) on the passenger side front fender. It could have come from the factory or it could have been a rock or something from the...
Does your Cayenne have full leather interior? Compared to basic Porsche interiors I feel like Rivian is on par. Nicer in some ways like the Alcantara roof lining, and almost no hard plastics. I've had six Porsches in the past and was quite pleased with the fit and finish of our R1T. Much better...
This statement in Rivian's reply to your request is the problem:
"There were two ways to be reinstated, either through a follow-up email we sent a handful of days after reinstatement was announced or by reaching out to us in Customer Service to express interest in reinstatement."
In their view...
The second he cancelled his order, he was no longer a customer of Rivian. There is no legally binding reason for Rivian to reinstate any of the cancelled orders, and/or honor the original pricing. He was no longer a customer. They had fine print covering their but in the case of price increases...
We traded in an Audi E-tron Premium Plus. So not the Prestige but the 2019 E-trons came pretty loaded as standard.
I only miss the wireless CarPlay. The drive was smoother and quieter, but the Rivian is much more sporty which I prefer. They have a similar level of interior quality, but the UI...
I believe the problem is he never received the email to reinstate his order, thus never clicked the link. His first contact with Rivian post cancelling his order was in April which was already past the reinstatement deadline.
So now it’s an argument of the “lost” email which is going to be very...
I'm sorry disneydad, but my guess is because you didn't reach out until April (past the March 20th deadline) they probably won't give you any benefit of the doubt. It is a bit strange you didn't receive that email but have received other emails from Rivian, but they have no obligation to honor...
Another vote for Photon Brothers. They install our 10.6kW system four years ago. I also had them pull the panels off and reinstall this spring when replacing our roof. They have been great to work with.
If you are limited in roof space, you may need to pay a little extra for higher output...
My mother-in-law and I had the idea to approach our city about installing DC fast chargers. She knew a member of city council, and had prior experience grant writing. I knew all of the technical details of charging, and all about the EV experience.
I pulled together a presentation that covered...
This looks like a list from most new car forums. I've had none of these issues with my R1T so far, just like I drove my Taycan 12k miles and only had one minor issue.
Here is a list of threads from the Taycan forum (which has had several major recalls). This is the first page with all being...
It's a roll of the dice now or in 12 months. They won't suddenly have Toyota level of quality by next year. I've had no serious issues with my truck, only minor things that will wait until I "need" to have a service visit.
If you wait, there is the risk they change pricing or something else...
94XX VIN.
No squeaks, panel gap, or paint issues.
Only issues I have so far is the tailgate doesn't automatically open, and the tonneau cover definitely sounds like it won't last long.
A couple of software bugs that were immediately fixed with a quick reset.
A close friend who owns a Model...
You could just as easily be upside down on the R1T in a year as the Model S. Used car prices are still insane and could collapse anytime. R1Ts with 15k miles could be selling for $70k in a year.
A couple of comments on temperature and wear ratings.
Here are the wear ratings for each tire:
20" 640
21" 600
22" 500
Based on the wear rating alone, the 20" should last the longest. However as mentioned above the 20" have a "B" temp rating, which means it won't perform as well in high...
