  1. 4 hr trip for a "first mile" - is it worth it WA to OR

    If all it becomes is a "dog and pony" show - I've seen the dog and the horse and it's tricks I wanna know what it feels like to ride the horse.... I've watched WAY to many videos (if someone mentions the stupid flashlight again, it's not going in the door - enough already, we get it) and know...
  2. 4 hr trip for a "first mile" - is it worth it WA to OR

    Thanks for the input, honestly that's what scares me a bit, if I don't like the feel, but maybe that's not the case. I don't know that it's a complete make or break, but waiting has certainly eroded my confidence in my decision. And to clarify for everyone, it's 4 hours EACH way, so 8 hours...
  3. IIHS Updated Crash Test Rating of Rivian R1T (w/ Video)

    Do we know if the side curtain airbag protects 3rd row in the R1S? If so, its probably a significantly different design.
  4. 4 hr trip for a "first mile" - is it worth it WA to OR

    I thought about this, but there are no R1S listed locally. I could do this with the R1T, but I was hoping not to become tainted by the R1T having a different ride/feel than the R1S as many have said. That being said, I don't even know if the first mile would be in an R1S, so it may not be...
  5. Put 911 on speed-dial, the Cybertruck revolution is coming!

    Nah - put one of these on each side on the back, you know, improved mileage from reduced weight as you fly along.... *if you're wondering it's apparently an airplane wing desk? https://meubleaviateur.com/marauder-aviator-wing-office-desk
  6. 4 hr trip for a "first mile" - is it worth it WA to OR

    Since apparently WA continues to have its head up its butt *they bill has repeated not passed thanks to a bunch of jackhole dealership complainers*, we can't seem to do first mile trips here for whatever reason. So, that being said - on the Rivian site, my first mile invite has finally opened...
  7. Put 911 on speed-dial, the Cybertruck revolution is coming!

    I will never understand why anyone would want this thing. It looks like something I drew as a 5yo.
  8. A little surprised with all the Shop inventory...

    I'm assuming these are R1T, not S. Or are there both listed?
  9. ⚡️ DC Fast Charging explained! -- Great Must Watch Video: "Everything You Need to Know..."

    While the reviews are saying it's great, I have to agree that the thumbnail is verging on insulting - even to a new EV owner. It looks like something one of the ICE deisel boys would use to scare people away from EVs or ridicule them. Being unfamiliar does not mean being stupid, which the...
  10. Motortrend's Rivian R1T Yearlong Review: Winter Snowstorms Tire Out Our Electric Pickup (but it handled everything the mountain threw at it)

    AI to the rescue - "rewrite this article into two short paragraphs" "The author describes their journey to Big Bear, which involved driving on a narrow highway up the mountain and taking a Forest Service trail that turned into a longcut due to a blizzard. The Rivian R1T's quad-motor system...
  11. PSA: Careful Parking on ANY Incline...

    Solution is probably park redneck style, you know just sideways on the driveway, half on half off into the grass. :rolleyes: Chocking the tires, who knew I'd be officially driving a "big rig" some day that I had to worry about these things. ?❄
  12. Tired of waiting - buy one here?? wait for something better?

    I guess I don't understand why they wouldn't. Filling orders if filling orders isn't it? If that dealership put in their $1000 and put in an order, perhaps even a "fleet order" (ie business multipack = $$$$ guaranteed). I always thought the more owners the lower the value. What do I...
  13. Tired of waiting - buy one here?? wait for something better?

    Premium - yes these are all listed around $117k, so easily 20k markup from current Rivian prices. Are you saying you paid that much, just curious.
  14. PSA: Careful Parking on ANY Incline...

    I have a steep driveway as well, so now I'm a bit worried about this happening. Curious for the experts - if you parked with the rear towards the house, would this change anything?
  15. Tired of waiting - buy one here?? wait for something better?

    I'm not sure what this means? They are all new with less than 100 miles on them. Are you saying people put in their reservations and then sold them to the dealer as soon as they got them? This is even more depressing.
  16. Tired of waiting - buy one here?? wait for something better?

    Let me say first, I'm not cancelling, but the mental games of waiting are getting worse daily. Right now, delivery window is Dec 23 -if they don't move it again. So my mind goes over 3 options - Buy one local. The high end car dealer I drive by daily has 3 R1S sitting on the lot - including...
  17. One Pedal Foot Exhaustion

    One foot driving now = I only have to use the accelerator because no one is in my way. :CWL: I'm sure it's going to take me a long time to get used to it because I coast a LOT now. Literally any chance I get, down hill, coming up to a light, to avoid hitting my brakes in traffic, you named...
  18. Matchbox Rivian R1T is Released!

    That evil place called Amazon. It was as close as I've come to the real thing. Rivian shows up on the back of a big truck. Guy offloads it and puts it in my driveway. I was trying to sync my phone to it for an hour. :CWL: :CWL:
  19. What I like least about my R1T

    I'd assume you are going through the same thing pilots go through when they switch from older planes with mechanical yoke/pedal/interface and suddenly go to a fly by wire plane. If you're looking for a physical aspect of it, sorry to tell you, it's long gone. Much like before power...
  20. Matchbox Rivian R1T is Released!

    I picked one up. So far its the only Rivian I've gotten (hint hint October delivery date). No R1S yet, but I grabbed R1T anyway. Hopefully this isn't the only Rivian I ever get.
