If my neighbor decides to get an early release, I'll walk over with a bottle of wine to talk...😉 I actually remember him telling me he is most likely waiting for LIDAR in the Gen 2 R2, and for most of the bugs to get worked out (this time around), before he gets one. That doesn't mean he won't...
Probably complaining like my wife. She always complained that the grab handles on my F150 were too far forward on the A-pillar. Then we got her R1S and she complains it doesn't have grab handles on the A-pillar.🤦♂️
Seems like the Subaru served you well. Buy a cheap used one to get you by and sell it for nearly the same price when the R2 arrives. No need to j7mp through all these hoops if it is a temporary issue.
Biggest raise I ever got from work was a take home car that is filled with City gas. We are already in March and I think I filled my personal F150 back in December. Almost bought a used Lucid recently, but can't really justify even having a second EV at this point.
Technically speaking... You are supposed to wait until the lights stop flashing before you proceed through the train crossing. I never do, and most don't either, but that is the law. Unless the lights were off when it came back down, you pretty much are SOL.
No, they will probably not interchange. I saw an early pre-production wheel and the bolt pattern diameter was different (smaller). I also think the offset was different. This all could have changed, but the wheel I saw, looked a lot like the wheels that made it to the early publicity cars...
I think we can both agree that you wouldn't buy a Rivian Quad to save the world. So that leaves buying it because the speed, handling and utility make you feel good. Same goes for the Raptor R. The speed, size, handling of the lighter truck and the sound of 800hp from V8 would make me feel...
I mean, if you are perfectly content driving grandma's Ford escape, why even bother considering a Rivian? I'm on the fence right now on buying another car I don't really need, because I like how it drives (Lucid Air Touring), but I would never compare it to Toyota Corolla.
And to the other guy...
I wasn't implying you liked "clicks"... I know you are more interested in snow-plowability of a new vehicle. Some people come here just loving to complain. Giving them extra ammo by not thoroughly testing a vehicle in the real world, just makes it worse. As an investor, nothing makes me more...
Although this true. The vehicles get real world use, by the employee, the significant other and probably older children. They get to drive them around unrestricted, putting as many miles on the vehicle as they want. They charge at home or at public chargers like they would any other EV. All...
Never heard of Cerakoted wheels, but it probably will hold up really well. I have few cerakoted firearms and the coating is very durable. My only concern is the finish tends to be satin to almost matte.
I think you are spot on with this... my source (has over 2k miles logged in an R2) is also saying they are planning on making some deliveries to employee pre-orders by end of March. He is on the fence about taking an early delivery, but could be swayed if they offer employee incentives to...
I use a shop in Baldwin Park right behind the In N Out burger museum. I've done multiple Rivian wheel sets and they charge me $400 for a set of 4 wheels in Gloss or semi-gloss black. I will say they do not have any type of mechanical services, so you have to bring them unmounted wheels. I...
It's mechanically locked due to the damage. Something shifted or bent out of place, which is keeping the latch from unlatching. This happens in any truck and isn't specific to any vehicle with an electronic latching mechanism. If t we're mine and it was a total loss, I would take a pry bar...
Im getting the same info. My neighbor was one of the early testers of the R1's before release, bringing home Zebra wrapped cars all the time. He still has no idea when R2s will enter that phase of testing. He does say it is all hands in deck for the R2s at the moment, so improvements on the...
I didn't spend much in the form of Rivian merch this year, since I'm patiently waiting for the R2 second gen model to make our next purchase. I did receive a couple gifts from a good neighbor of mine, which were cool enough for me to want to share. Post up your Rivian gear, merch, gifts that...
I broke my original just like you trying to change the complete wiper blade. Luckily my neighbor got me a good used one from the spare parts bin. After that I only change the rubber wiper itself, so I don't risk damaging the fragile plastic. You can get a replacement rubber wiper for under...
