Obviously we're all kind of speculating here, but I can assure you that the way this rack is set up and the way bikes work, I think it's virtually impossible to contact the vehicle with the bike with this sort of rack system. Which is very very much intentional. The bike I have is worth a...
Hearing about it twice recently doesn't necessarily give more credence to the rock theory although hearing rocks hitting the rack is concerning. You can see in my picture that the lower corners are both broken off which makes be wonder if torquing the vehicle caused the metal to contact the...
This happened to me this weekend. They are wanting me to come to Phoenix (which is 4 hours from here) to fix it. I checked with Safelite and they claim they have Rivian windows and can fix it here.
I think it's interesting that Rivian is disinclined to fix it under warranty and the...
I looked at the other thread and I think it's interesting that Rivian is disinclined to fix it under warranty and the speculative answer is that maybe a rock bounced off the rack and hit it but the glass they happened to have in the shop was flawed and they said that if they installed that it...
I took my three week old R1S out on a relatively rough road in the Zuni mountains of New Mexico. Went slow, was careful and the truck performed incredibly. Took everything in stride. I rode my bike and then hopped back in and had to go through two gates so I got a good look at the truck, no...
I did use a Phoenix address of a friend. I changed the delivery address and got the truck less than two weeks later. Phoenix is pumping them out. There probably 25 Rivians there and they were all going out the door.
I think Rivian's plan is to go the tesla route and put a service center at a Pueblo. The Tesla center is 3.5 hours from us and Phoenix is 4. So not much difference. There is a mobile guy who will come to you for most stuff. And many of the things that break at least initially are little...
That's great to hear too. Hopefully that will happen soon although it looks like the only way our state will allow it is on Reservations. I hope that changes because they are losing lots of tax revenue because we are paying it to someone else. Great deal for the Pueblos though.
I have met so many people that have spent time in this area as medical professionals. It is a great area to work in. Lots of wonderful interesting people. And of course, a lot of need.
That RAN is in Holbrook. Which is a great spot because you can head down salt river canyon from there or...
I ordered a R1S in Dec 2019 and my father in law got his R1T more than a year ago and lives in the same town. I kept getting promises of s00n without being clear that apparently the only thing holding me up was my address. I switched it to an apartment in Phoenix last monday and got a request...
I'm debating this. I live in New Mexico 237 miles from phoenix. I just went from a June-July to Oct-Nov delivery estimate. I wouldn't mind waiting but I don't understand why they would string me along like this if they have no intention of delivering. This December it will be 4 years...
No. I happen to own a Subaru. I also own a toaster from KitchenAid and a floor by a company named forbo and I just bought a Bosch dishwasher. I also have a back door from a family owned business in Albuquerque. I guess I try to buy local but I can't buy local dishwashers. I also can't possibly...
I feel like it's a bit ridiculous too say that because I own a Tesla or because I use Amazon or because I own a Subaru, I somehow support their CEO or any other person in the organization. I like very little about what I hear about Elon musk or Jeff bezos. I have no idea who is the CEO of Subaru...
I should have posted this to begin with but it was a bizarre experience because it was getting dark and there were a lot of people just sort of showing up and wandering around and looking at them without talking to each other. These particular trucks did not have door handles and I will admit...
I just got updated to October, November 2023 for the launch edition. If that were actually true, I could live with that. It's just that I've been told that they were going to deliver at a certain time so many times then it's hard to take them seriously anymore.
Hey Thom,
I haven't heard anything. I've never had a guide either. My father in law who lives in Gallup has an R1T for more than a year. He has had multiple small things fixed both in Gallup and in ABQ. The guy has a huge area that he covers but is a trained Rivian mechanic and does a great...
Right. I changed my primary to an address in Phoenix (which is way closer then Denver). My delivery address is still NM. I'm going to register it in NM so there is no point in delivering to Phoenix. My father in law lives in the same town as me and got his R1T more than a year ago. I have a...
I ordered a month earlier than you (dec 2019). I got an email saying they wanted to give me an extra month to think about my new options (dual motor). I'm sticking with a launch edition quad motor but haven't heard anything yet. I live in New Mexico which has laws that make it difficult to...
