I had an March-April date and my truck is supposed to be delivered tomorrow afternoon so they do look like they are actually on schedule for some of the configs. Rivian Blue LE with Black Forest interior in SoCal.
I would guess it's for the charger. I got a text from my guide same day as my UPS tracking and that is what it was for. Supposedly my R1T is being delivered tomorrow afternoon.
I also have March/April window and didnt hear anything until Tueday right before price increase was announced. My guide called and said they are on track for 4-6 week delivery time. I have the extended call with her today at 1pm and they just emailed over the preliminary purchase agreement...
Not sure if you have looked at truck prices lately but it's pretty hard to find any truck with decent features for less than $50k nowadays. If you want anything spec'ed close to the R1T, even without the electric part you are looking at 60k to 80k. I don't see Rivian or anyone producing a...
My pricing has not changed either. I was contacted this am and given my delivery date of 4-6 weeks and she asked if I needed to change anything. I responded no so I'm thinking that if you don't change any of your pre-order options, possibly the price remains the same.
I also pre-ordered the...
I also just got the call with a 4-6 week delivery timeframe. I was originally given March-April delivery date so it looks like they might make their dates. I am Rivian blue LE preordered July of 2019
When I placed my preorder back in July 2019 I fully expected Rivian to miss their estimated delivery dates since they are a start up and that is a huge hill to climb. That was before Covid so I completely understand the delays. Even normal products are still sometimes hard to get right now...
Normally I would agree with you but when normal cars like a Kia SUV are being sold at a markup over MSRP by dealers I think the upside is going to be much more than others are willing to pay for a reservation. Who actually knows when those reservations will be fulfilled since Rivian has been...
I also agree with Riviot. The vehicle market in general is crazy right now and I think once there are a few on the secondary market, they will command a pretty big premium especially due to the wait time. Then again, it's a gamble but it's also a gamble to sell a reservation for a few thousand...
I know one ICE that pretty much has the same specs if not better for most categories you are quoting. The Ram TRX has Rivian pretty much beat at all the specs you list except the 0-60 time which is close (Ram underestimates the official number) and the "handles like a sports car" which is BS...
I think people are way underestimating the number of employees out of work due to covid. Our local Office Depot where my daughter works is having to close at 6pm each night instead of the usual 8pm due to so many employees out either sick or quarantine. All businesses are in the same boat...
Gotcha. Seems weird that they would only do it for a few weeks and then move it especially in Southern California. If that is the case, glad we got in when we did.
I can also relay that for anyone who has not driven the truck, I don't think you will be disappointed assuming you have driven any truck in the past before. It's not a sports car but drives just as well or better than my Ram that had the air suspension. Felt solid on and off road. You could...
We did the first mile in December in Santa Clarita and at that time everyone had to wear a mask the entire time, indoors and out. They had plenty of staff there and almost every color of truck (didnt see any red). Seems weird to me they are not still doing those at that location unless they...
If you do some internet searches for underbody pics there are some out there. The entire underbody is covered so any type of extra off road skid plate or beefier underbody will only add weight and do nothing to improve mileage due to aero or anything like that IMO. I have done some serious...
You have to remember that it's "added" underbody protection. There is already underbody protection that has to be pretty decent for the batteries not to get punctured in normal road driving should you run over some sort of debris. Unless you are doing some serious off roading, I don't think...
@Sully151 The Chevy is a full size truck where the Rivian is slotted somewhere in between a mid size and full size. Funny you mention the bike because that is my biggest complaint about the Rivian. With a 4.5 ft bed, I can't even fit my mountain bike back there. Sure I can buy the cross bars...
Did they send you the wall charger prior to any payment for it? Just asking because I have a LE and have only had to pay the deposit. I have the wall charger added in my configuration but guessing they wouldn't ship anything until the $500 has been paid. If you did pay for it, how did you do...
