    Possible Fisker Bankruptcy

    Imagine being an early adopter... I'd be fuming.

    My R1T was damaged "Discount tire service center" (not the national Discount Tire chain)

    Yep. Amercia's tire knows what they're doing. all techs have done it the same way. I have pucks under my rear bench as well. Both times I've gone I'm glad I brough my own. They seem to go through pucks pretty quick and have used mine both times.

    Lost all internet

    Happened to me this morning on my way to work. Love the ATT outage excuse because I promptly switched to my phone (powered by ATT) to stream on via bluetooth. Came back at lunch and everything was fine.

    Rivian Service Center Debacle

    Honestly it doesn't matter where they put it. Probably not a good idea to put them too close together. They need more service out here ASAP. Plenty of folks reporting six month wait lead times, only to get to the SC and be told they can't begin working on your car for 10 days. But wait...

    Thoughts on R2 options

    Welcome. I see you're new here. Lets see what happens when the cards fall. I think back in my early days, I predicted the 1st R1 price increase pretty early on... One of the reasons I put in my res when I did- price was too good to be true. I expect the $45k option will be mostly...

    Thoughts on R2 options

    I'm guessing long range dual will start in the high 50's.

    Bravo Rivian but now R1 is OLD.

    You likely won't get an r2 for 2-3 years. It doesn't kill anything. My brother has 2 kids. Won't even look at an R2. My wife and I have zero kids. Wants an R2 badly. IMHO, really depends on your family situation.

    R2 Reservations are open and it's FAST!

    10:26. I was on an interview call and pulled it up at 10:05 and didn't see the button :(. Oh well, still in!

    Saved so much $$$ buying a Rivian 😂

    I'd have a hard time getting rid of this truck because of how great the product is. However, it aint cheap for sure in CA. Annual, mostly fixed costs: Registration: $1100 Insurance: $3200 Tires: $1400-1800 (C'mon Michelin!) So just to operate we're talking roughly ~6k or so per year before...

    Sucks. Socal Edison is terrible, but I'm only at $.22/KwH. Still highway robbery compared to most.

    Purchase hesitancy

    Service is in a bit of shambles right now, at least in my area. Only time will tell if they are able to claw out of it.

    Water tests on manual tonneaus

    Wow. This is WAY more water than the lomax cover. I haven't noticed any major/minor leaks from the lomax cover. It appears there are many leaks on the manual.

    Water tests on manual tonneaus

    My Lomax doesn't leak. I mean, everything has the chance to leak a little, but I haven't noticed any noticeable leak after bringing it through the wash.

    Is this the R2 spotted in the wild?

    Potato photo, but it could be. Fits the bill.

    Now they tell us!

    Nah sis, they UGLY. Look at that rear 3/4! And back end!

    Now they tell us!

    Eh, most trucks are going aluminum due to weight savings for EPA MPG's. Ford F150 body panels are the same. When I bought the R1T knowing it is aluminum skinned I knew that I would be getting some PDR done at some point in the future (Now I've owned the truck 15 months and did 1 PDR appt that...

    Cracked windshield, with a 3 month wait time

    Lol. In early jan, the nearest appt in Costa Mesa, CA was mid June. So although it may seem ridiculous, it could be worse.

    Not a lot of dirt roads 'round these parts

    Now they tell us!

    Besides the stickers, I think this one looks a heck of a lot better in color vs. the stainless. I'm not advocating the styling, I think they look worse in person than in pictures. And its hideous and frankly too big for me. But, this looks better IMHO.
