  1. BMW recalls nearly all iX vehicles. Where’s the media outrage?

    It's a minor recall that requires a simple software update, eta 1 hour at dealership. Why would that prompt outrage? Less than 1% of the recalled cars have shown the issue, which resolves itself by restarting the car. The fire risk recall was much more severe but also a very small number of...
  2. Rivian Owners and Preorder Holders- Strange Entitlement?

    In short, respectfully, I think you're wrong. When you buy something, especially for high five figures, you are buying it. You aren't buying promises, hopes, or dreams and it being less expensive than it could have been is a moot point. They are not selling a beta test, they are selling a car...
  3. I'm Getting Cold Feet [** CLOSED DUE TO POLITICS DISCUSSION **]

    Don't get it. It's a luxury purchase, if you're not 100% sure you don't buy it.
  4. California (deleted)

    Nope. The guide will shut it down. It's not possible. You have to fully buy the car and resell it, anyone that claims to have a way to transfer a preorder is scamming. I promise you it won't work, the guide will cancel it before anyone gets the car.
  5. Don't Use USAA insurance for your Rivian

    That sounds like a terrible experience but I also think you're a bit unlucky here. New vehicle (and brand!), repair shop not in the normal chain, and sounds like some miscommunication between the shop/insurance & maybe just not the best agent. I'd personally consider this more part of the risk...
  6. Trade in process and value?

    They offered me $17,000 below the next lowest offer. :)
  7. Order Completion DOs and DON'Ts

    So, having done the 8 step process recently I don't think it's as bad as you imply. I think you got excited, understandably so, and rushed to complete the steps. However, it's pretty clear the steps are the actual purchase of the vehicle. Once you sign purchase documents for any vehicle you...
  8. Confirmed by Rivian: R1S w/ Ocean Coast Interior - Deliveries Not Until Early 2023

    My guide has confirmed there are NOT OC R1S customer deliveries being made yet. If there are OC R1S' they might be test or employee vehicles.
  9. North Texas R1S owners - looking to see and set in one before ordering

    The front seats are the exact same as the R1T. Go to a service center and ask them if you can hop in to a truck, they'll say yes.
  10. Polestar 3 Previewed

    What reminded you of a minivan? The sensatec is much worse than the leather, if that was the difference. I would find it difficult to buy an iX for the styling & bland driving experience w no offroad capability, but if I wanted something to tow 2 kids around? The iX tech & quality is...
  11. Polestar 3 Previewed

    Have you been in one yet? If not, check it out. For under $100k you get an insane amount of luxury (the leather interior is fantastic) and good tech, with excellent BMW build quality. The range is also quite good on it, real world tests have been very favorable. The iX is ugly on the outside...
  12. Failed R1T auction: High bid price of $85K doesn't meet reserve

    The bids have been under resale value for the entire time. You can still flip an R1T at a dealership or privately for six figures.
  13. With interest rates rising, how many won’t be completing their R1 purchase?

    Just buy it and refinance when the recession inevitably hits. But yes, the interest rate for my i4 M50 was annoying considering the rate I got on my Taycan in 2020.
  14. Polestar 3 Previewed

    I'd buy an iX, ugly or not, over the P3 any day of the week. Easy, easy decision.
  15. Polestar 3 Previewed

    It says fully?
  16. Polestar 3 Previewed

    Interior same as P2? Those performance & range numbers? Meh is the only word. Almost 100k once you get the upgraded seats and P pack.
  17. How prevalent are these issues?

    I mean, fairly prevalent. It's pretty clear Rivian is struggling to build top tier quality cars and anyone saying otherwise needs to look at the evidence. Now, they are still really good vehicles but if it's going to be your only vehicle or you really can't stand cosmetic flaws I'd really...
  18. Picked up new R1T Ocean Coast today - some small Issues

    Absolutely unacceptable. You can't tell me a real QC check was made on this vehicle.
  19. I never knew charging would be this slow above 80%

    Is it?? It takes my Taycan 5-9 minutes to go from 80% to 95% on a 350 charger. 5-95% can take 24 to 35 minutes total. I know Mercedes, Lucid are getting some nice results, too, and the BMW aren't bad. Rivian is just behind in the charging game.
