    Rivian offering preorder price difference vouchers for remaining price protected pre-order holders

    The Rivian email that I received stated the following relative to a lease: "Very well qualified lessees who take delivery on or before 4/30/2024 can lease a new MY 2024 Rivian R1S Standard Adventure Package for 36 months with 30,000 total miles for $486 per month. To obtain a payment of $486 per...

    Rivian offering preorder price difference vouchers for remaining price protected pre-order holders

    It looks to me that even though pre-March '22 reservation holders get the $7,500 IRA credit (and possibly a discount to the MSRP) applied as a cap cost reduction , you will still need to put another $7.000 or so down to get the posted monthly lease price. Am I misinterpreting things?

    FYI: Tesla Supercharges will not work with Rivians until officially announced as compatible.

    I don't yet have my Rivian, and in fact have zero experience with EV's, so apologize if these are ignorant questions. What incentive would there be for an EV charging station to provide high-speed charging if their billing is based on the amount of time you were connected? Why wouldn't most...

    Delivery estimate disappeared

    I'm a 2020 pre-order, also with an R1S LE configured. My order page has shown "Processing estimate" in the delivery window space for many months. That changed yesterday and instead now also shows "Configuration confirmed" however, I've retained shop access. This seems consistent with the updated...

    My unsolicited five step plan for saving Rivian

    Not having been able to get a response after multiple attempts over more than three weeks, it's not clear that I actually still have a guide. No matter, I'm sure that Rivian will assign a new one soon, which by my count, will be number seven. Edit: Just checked my account. Officially assigned...

    My unsolicited five step plan for saving Rivian

    I have no idea if this is related to the current financial issues at the company, but during a recent email exchange with my Rivian guide to make a small configuraton change to my 2020 reservation, it emerged that the pricing he's now seeing for my reservation is about 10% higher than what I see...

    Reinforced Underbody Shield - opinions / worth it?

    I asked this question a little while back. My take on the responses received was that it was not really necessary for normal road use or even mild off-roading. At least one response suggested it could improve range by reducing turbulence under the vehicle, and while that may well be true, I'd...

    Rivians north of the border

    Spotted this pair in Rossland, BC, this past Friday, but I didn't have the chance to post until now. I think that they were there as part of a Rivian promotion - Red Mountain ski resort is nearby. This was the first time I had a chance to see the Forest Green in person and I have to say that the...

    7 Automakers Join to Create "Ionna" a Massive New U.S. EV Charging Network

    An example of the Peter Principle at work. He simply hasn't reached his level of incompetence yet.

    Is Rivian getting desperate?

    I'm an early pre-order holder and am seeing much more promotional email from Rivian than was the case in the past. I'm sure that a big part of the reason is a push to get as many deliveries as possible before the planned shutdown. Most of the emails I receive are aimed to get me to buy from the...

    Do I want the underbody shield?

    Thanks again for the replies. Thanks particularly to @MidnightRivian for posting the photos of the shield and of the puddle damage. While I've been leaning toward not adding the shields, I'm now thinking they may be worthwhile. I'll ruminate a bit before making a final decision, but if the...

    Do I want the underbody shield?

    Thanks to all for the thoughtful replies. As I posted, I don't need the shield for my offroading, and as folks replying have pointed out, the effect, if any, on resale is pretty speculative at this stage. There are however a couple of potential pluses that folks mentioned that I hadn't thought...

    Do I want the underbody shield?

    My R1 backstory is long and not particularly interesting, so let me say only that I'm a legacy reservation holder who changed configuration from the R1T Max (quad) to the S about a year ago, initially with the 21" wheel/tire combination. After it became apparent that it would be quite a while...

    How to fix seat rattle or ticking - solved!

    Seems like white lithium would work in this application, no? My understanding is that Li grease is safe for rubber and rubber-like products such as ACN, SBR, EPDM, silicon, etc., as long as it doesn't contain petroleum.

    Rivian announces new VP of Product Management....and Rivian R3 ?!

    When you said "pull an Elon stunt", my mind went immediately to thinking you meant RJ was going to engage in corporate blackmail and demand an additional 25% equity stake to continue doing his job. Then I realized that couldn't be it because RJ doesn't own a social media company that is loosing...

    NACS and R2S news coming in March???

    There is a Tesla SC at a Wawa convenience store in Philadelphia just off of I-95 that has 20 stalls. Virtually all newer Wawa locations have SC's these days, and while they tend to have fewer stalls than this one does, I suspect there are more than few with a dozen or more.

    If you are a lower price R1S pre-order still waiting, what is your current delivery estimate?

    My May 2020 pre-order had a delivery range assigned shortly after the March 2022 price change. My delivery date reverted to "Processing estimate" late in 2022, and I had to change configs in early 2023 when Rivian dropped the QM Max. The delivery status remained the same until late November...
