  5. Rivian won't sell me a truck due to my middle name. WTF.

    hmm ok I guess very annoying but it would literally just take less than 10 min to get a quote online with say geico, get the vehicle delivered, cancel the policy and jump back to whoever you are insuring with?

    Hey Tom I have 1 20” bright… not sure if you would be interested in getting 1 only as a spare.
  7. Slimed by used salesman

    Wonder how much they are asking for the truck.. probably best just to order a new truck from rivian. You can get it very fast now and won’t have to deal with stealers shady practices.

  12. R1T t-boned. Let’s see what it costs to repair hitting a light pole

    Travelers is the absolute worst insurance company to deal with. I was rear ended (luckily not in an R1) by a turo driver covered by travelers.

  13. SIAP: R1T Shop Question

    I think it depends on your location (proximity to a service center). You could’ve drove one off just a few days ago from the factory. But in any case you could probably put in a new preorder for an R1T and reach out to customer service and ask for shop access.

But I second finding it strange...
