Keep in mind how the all-mighty Tesla did on the Model 3 rollout. It took them 10 months from delivering the first Model 3 (July 2017) to getting me my VIN 22,xxx in May 2018. Patience, they’ll get you your vehicles.

If that's really an issue, Best Buy sells it for the same price. https://www.bestbuy.com/product/tesla-universal-wall-connector-level-2-hardwired-electric-vehicle-ev-charger-up-to-48a-24-white/J3Q5RV9CP5 Also, just get a $50 J1772 to NACS adapter and use your existing wall charger. There is no...

If you’re not in one of those states mentioned, I’d get the following from shop.tesla.com for the most compatibility with AC charging. Mobile Connector - $300 NEMA Adapter Bundle - $245 SAE J1772 Charging Adapter - $50

Anywhere from 1 second to 5 years (or whenever Rivian decides to cancel all unexecuted reservations and refund the reservation fee because there is no longer a line) - it's up to you when you submit your order after receiving the invite to do so.

When testing the trailer lights, I will press the flasher button to test the turn signals and then get out of the vehicle (leaving the door open) to walk to the back of the trailer to verify the lights. Always seems to work for me with doing that. On my trailer, I can tell that running lights...

If you need a vehicle soon, put in a reservation and then go to the reservation on your account and indicate that you are interested in a launch edition. That’s the way to get one as quick as possible. You may or may not be invited to order by the end of the year; depends upon the other people...

The R2 Owner’s Guide was posted on the Rivian web site this morning. Instead of everyone guessing at the answer, read the manual.

Yes, the scroll wheels can adjust the cruise control settings. Both Tesla and Rivian (at least in the current R1T and R1S) use the right hand scroll wheel to do this. For Tesla, the up/down motion controls speed and the right/left motion controls the follow distance. Rivian has these two...

I wouldn't lease a vehicle starting the clock on when you have a future mandatory replacement with a vehicle that doesn't even have a stated timetable for its release. In 2013 I purchased a Nissan Leaf with the intention of replacing it with a Tesla Model 3. At the time, the rumors were that...

Just have your friend submit their own reservation. Once production has ramped up and the real deliveries start, it really won't matter if you had a reservation or not.

I almost feel sad for this CT owner being rescued by mom in her minivan taking her kids to the soccer game...

It's unfortunate that the only (current) calendar integration seems to be with Google calendars. Many of us that are in the Apple ecosystem, instead of running Android OS on our phones, don't use Google calendars at all. I've already submitted feedback using the link at the bottom of the main...

I noticed that in the images they use that the vehicles are only filled halfway with blinker fluid. I'll be sure to check that mine are full on delivery day! :D

Just admit it, you’ve already lost primary access to this future vehicle. You’ll need to buy a second R2 for guaranteed access.

If true, that’s a nice geeky day for the release of the R2.

EVs have a gearbox, but they do not have a transmission. A transmission is a gearbox can have multiple ratios to the input/output. As @SwampNut said, while EVs don't have direct drive where the end device spins at the same RPM as the engine crankshaft, there is a gearbox to reduce the ~20,000...

The prototypes shown in the videos 1 month ago did not have a pull strap on them.

They fixed that image sometime in the last 12 hours, assuming you took the screenshot right before posting this message....

Yeah, the carwow video is a good one.
