    would you buy R1T again as of 3/25/2024?

    Thoughts @abct - Yes, would buy R1T again - it was the best/coolest vehicle I've owned, despite some early build issues. I sold mine a bit too quickly, but was trying to minimize the loss I would take by reordering with the new pricing. I'm buying another R1T (dual motor, 21's) when the...

    Rivian temporarily pausing R1 configurator due to production line shutdown

    We will mostly see pain points addressed and perhaps making current standard features optional to lower the initial price point further, along with removal of redundant structures and components, which RJ has already explicitly stated they will be doing.

    Rivian temporarily pausing R1 configurator due to production line shutdown

    I could see any of the following: heat pump (almost guaranteed, you'd have to think) wireless charger update glovebox standard suspension option/removal of air compressor for an "urban" trim redesign of gear tunnel doors - these are a bit sharp All new tonneau cover design that will be unique...

    Rivian temporarily pausing R1 configurator due to production line shutdown

    Just got this email. I still believe the line shutdown will result in a materially different refreshed R1 platform, which is why Rivian is changing pre-order holders to vouchers, because trims/options aren't going to line up anymore.

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

    Think this might be related to the line shutdown. This refresh is going to be a little bigger than I think many are expecting, to the point that configs aren't going to match up anymore.

    Tesla Supercharging (NACS Charging) Now Available in Rivian App! Step By Step Instructions

    If there's one thing about EVs, from the tax credit to charging, no one can sure as heck can make it easy on people. I look at this stuff everyday, like many of you. Now imagine another 100 million+ people trying to figure this out. Standardization can't come soon enough.

    Tesla Supercharging (NACS Charging) Now Available in Rivian App! Step By Step Instructions

    I'm looking at the Supercharger map and noticed some (seemingly) V3 stations are missing. For example, Joplin, MO, has 8 stalls at 250 kW but it doesn't show on the Rivian website map as a dot where a location is compatible. Can anyone use the in-app or in-vehicle software to confirm? I'm just...

    R2 Preview Invite in Austin

    I went today (reservation for is actually for tomorrow). You can just walk right up. The cars are outside. It took someone 30 minutes or so to even ask to check me in and they signed me up as a walkup. I'm also going back with my girlfriend tomorrow so that she can see it and I'll get some...

    R2 Preview Invite in Austin

    Cool. Yeah, I thought there was a slim chance, so I signed up as soon as it came through just in case. But, glad to see the interest, even if it is amongst current Rivian owners, is high. Side note - I wonder when they are opening the Austin Space, I was told in late 2022 that it would be late...

    R2 Preview Invite in Austin

    I got it and I'm going with my SO. I wish I saw this previously or I would have added another guest and taken you with me. I'll take some pictures and ask a lot of questions to see what I can get out of them, and post it on here, along with my thoughts. EDIT: it looks like I can change my...

    Can Rivian can start R2 production in Normal, IL in September?

    Here's my prediction, based on a very best-case scenario: R1 light refresh comes out around May/June, including less expensive options. This will boost sales for 2024, but maybe not to an exciting level if interest rates/economy don't improve by Q3/Q4. R2 will get more exposure and...

    Charge port location poll: what standardized location would you like to see?

    I wish all charging stalls were are built like gas pumps, as in, on the side where you can pull through. This would allow for short cords to be used without any compatibility problems, ensures all stations could handle vehicle towing payload, and makes it so that drivers don't have to back in...

    Odd Email from Rivian??

    Rivian has been calling me and emailing me every week to try to get me to configure. I've already told them my plan is to wait until the auto tonneau is back in the configurator before I order.

    Rivian Pausing Georgia Plant

    It's what they should have done in the first place and, if I remember correctly, was the original plan. Elon called this out a year or so ago. It's way too much capital to be spending right now. Glad they came to their senses.
