Ugh - the bad news just keeps hitting.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb 1 (Reuters) - Rivian Automotive (RIVN.O) is laying off 6% of its workforce in an effort to cut costs as the EV...
Pretty sure that’s just cash going straight into this guys pocket for allowing you to buy his truck. Not unreasonable, except for the fact you have to give him the $5K before you’re even allowed to know who the dealer is, much less confirm that they will actually honor the price and sell you the...
IMO Rivian is obligated to provide free charging for at least 1 year from when owners took delivery
We were explicitly told that membership was free for a year after purchase. Membership included free charging on the RAN, free roadside assistance, and free connectivity. This was a major...
This guy’s “I didn’t do anything dumb - vehicle is defective” is just embarrassing.
Pretty clearly was doing some high speed donuts in the field and either hit a rut or had a wheel hit a soft spot.
Doing my self-prescribed duty to remind folks that there has been a huge increase in Rivian scams lately. Mostly on Facebook, but on the forums as well. Especially brand new members with no post history here.

I think a lot of things could have led to what you experienced. In order of most likely to least likely (IMO)
Rivian told you the truth. Car was indeed in some sort of accident before delivery, repaired/salvaged, then titled (we've seen several photos of crashed R1s on carrier trucks.)

That's the thing. Most of us are in agreement that having it as an option would be fine for those few folks that seem to want the feature.
But OP has dug in his heels on the fact that EVERYBODY should want it all the time, and anyone who disagrees is an idiot who doesn't know how to drive or...
Sorry, you're right. I definitely should be taking mountain driving advice from a guy who drove Vail pass once (nobody calls it The Vail pass).
The fact that you've read all the responses to this thread, and still think that I'm the one in the minority of what's wanted or needed is asinine...
Sorry, too bad. We all must give up our power and traction so the OP can save 200 bucks a year. He can't be bothered to press the conserve button himself. That's just how it's gonna be.
