    I've given up

    I am considering that, but then, I'm afraid I might like it too much...

    I've given up

    This post pains me a lot to write, but... I got my R1S reservation in December '21, and was told then to expect a 2nd half - 23 delivery. Then the next iteration of delivery schedules come out in October (I believe), and it slips to first half of '24. Then, last months delivery schedule...

    Spotted Rivian in Hawaii

    In Maui this week for some February sun time. Took the road to Hana, and on the way back, lo and behold, an R1T launch edition goes driving by. Boy, I hope he doesn’t need service…

    Requesting a test drive

    That might work. I just remembered I am coming down to Indian Wells in March. I wonder if I can persuade them to give me a test drive while there.

    Requesting a test drive

    I've had my R1S reservation for a little over a year now, and would really like to take my wife to see it and test drive either it or an R1T. I live about 10 miles from the Bellevue WA SC. So I contacted CS and asked how I can get a test drive, and they came back to me with the old canned...

    Invited into R1S R1 shop - need opinions

    Remember, in the new tax plan (i forget the name right now) you should pretty much get all the deductions with little issues if bought before March 31. And while a lot of us are hoping that we will get full refunds after that, it is not guaranteed. Just a thought...

    Road Trip Fail - Orange County, CA to Lake Tahoe

    So, How did the new Snow Mode work, and, More importantly... How is Heavenly? I've gotta believe that with all the snow they are having it's incredible there now.

    Do I need AAA roadside assistance with my Rivian R1S

    AAA also hands out free maps. Wait, what's a map???

    Experience: Snow Mode is great on pavement w/ compact snow & ice, but All Terrain Mode is better for deep snow

    Agreed. It's almost too dangerous to go out and walk today, let alone drive. Just a brutal Ice day. I am making 15 gallons of beer (Mack and Jacks clone, a great amber Pale Ale) so all is well.

    2022.47.0 software update installed w/ SNOW MODE!

    Is anyone worried about how these rolling updates are going to go when Rivian really starts to deliver vehicles? As of now they have about 15-16,000 vehicles out (R1T+R1s) and these updates are taking several days. What will happen when they have several hundred thousand to millions of...

    Best temporary snow solution for tires?

    This is one of my key items for my R1S as to whether I take it or not, and what wheels to get. Staying home is not an option (Can't do that and Ski) and I really don't want to have two sets of tires and wheels. So this (along with insurance) is a major concern. (Are you listening, Rivian?)

    Gift from Rivian?

    I had that same email, and...crickets. (No, I didn't get actual crickets, just, well, you know...)

    Rivian EDV Test Drive Video: "Driving Amazon’s Electric Delivery Vehicle"

    First thing I thought when I saw the rear door opening..."That's the new Toneau cover!"

    Photos / videos from today's Rivian Vancouver Open House Event (Canada Launch Event)

    Looking at the video, it looks like they have it mapped out to Whistler. That's all I need! (And snow mode, too, of course!)

    Snow Mode?

    Yup, I am really concerned about this. I go to Vail every year, and coming down the steep winding twisting I-70 from Vail Pass would be a real white-knuckler, especially in a heavy snow. Locally in Washington, it's not as bad, but the last 5-10 miles into and out of Stevens pass would not be fun.

    R1S LA Silver new delivery estimates

    Not necessarily true, certainly for Pre-March 1 orders. I just checked, and my configuration shows GW as no upcharge.

    25,000 unit production goal might be tough

    But weren't most of those 1000 (or so) Employee vehicles made in 2021? They shouldn't count into the 2022 numbers.

    R1 Issues Spreadsheet / Tracker?

    Well, the maximum size of a single Excel spreadsheet is 1,048,576 rows by 16,384 columns. It might be little tight...
