likely some truth to that but not sure we are the best sample set of critics. living on and around gravel roads, we expect it and dont lose much sleep over it. we also never wash our cars without the help of mother nature.
we did fully matte wrap this last r1s because we like the looks. icing...
never heard so many people talk about rock chips from offset tires. like hillbilly said, how close are you driving to people?
we've had a number of windshield and frontend chips, none came from trucks/jeeps/4x4s. all came from interstate driving - mostly from semis. on any given day, 25-50% of...
had the same - black on black, twin supercharged ford 5.0 with a few mods. miss the exhaust note. dont miss the low profile 22s we ordered back during city life (gravel country roads hate band-aid tires).
given the R1S is a daily driver we went with 22s again but the generous sidewalls now love...
We started using conserve mode on highways on road trips. VA has numerous RAN chargers but seems like very few are near our final destinations. It's nice to stretch the distance b/w stops if possible - especially on the way home where we don't care how low the charge is as long as we get home...
we ordered this family tent for our camping needs (2 adults, 2 young kids)

they also make an inflatable insulated tent that goes inside it that we will purchase later - still waiting on the tent to arrive to test how it works.
dont think this will solve all the issues here but had similar problems with our chargepoint charger when we moved it to another house. at first, we thought it was the scheduled timing setting as the error would occur when we plugged in after school (4:30pm). chargepoint was scheduled to...
FWIW, we were in a similar situation with our R1S (1/4/19 pre-order). it was finally totaled after months of sitting at a certified collision center and having Rivian come onsite to assist in the repair quote.
The good news was our insurance. We have Nationwide Private Client. In the end, they...
so they produced 12K R1S's already this year? considering i waited 4-years for the 1st R1S that is a huge increase!
1st R1S was a LE, kept the bracelet, had free 22's then and just paid for black 22's which were still an increase then.
weird. did we determine if low '22 vins were a diff # system than the '23s? my '22 was vin 22xx and my new R1 shop vin is 12,xxx.
btw, is there any reason why i would want an LE over an AE? already had 1 LE and still have the bracelet and other items that came with the LE. What am I missing not...
Sad to hear not much has changed. We had our 1st R1S delivered in December - vin 29xx. That car was totaled awaiting a SC appointment to adjust the body panels before we did matte PPF.
We matched with a new R1S last week and guess it will be 5-7 weeks before that gets into our hands. I will be...
What a week! Our insurance company provided us the numbers for our payout which is north of what a new R1S is along with all taxes, title, registration fees.
We worked with our guide on the R1 shop and matched with a new R1S that should be here within 8-weeks (car is still in Normal). Ended up...
Wow, really small and holy cow that's a long wait!
We loved the car which is why we are willing to wait for another one. We have a couple long driveways and a mountain property that sees a bit more ice and snow than the valley so not really any other good EV options to cover us.
Have a RTT...
Its been a few months so has def gotten easier to stomach. Weighed on me pretty hard the 1st week or 2...
We are in a Cadillac XT6 rental which my wife and I are getting tired of fueling up but hey, it beats or other cars MPGs.
Crazy as it reads you read that correctly. My 5-year old even asked WTF happened with the other driver.
He made a turn so wide I think he would have been in the ditch had we not been there. No DUI, just poor driving skills. We didn't exchange many words after realizing all parties were...
We have Nationwide Private Client. In initial discussions with my agent she claimed they are great at total replacement value. For pricing, I sent them the configurator showing the current $101K price vs our original purchase price of $82K.
Good to know who covers Rivian's insurance! Did not...
