    Texas WTS Four 21" Wheels Only $500 (North Houston)

    So the one has the curb rash, the other three each have just those normal wear and tear pockmarks?

    Texas WTS Four 21" Wheels Only $500 (North Houston)

    Are the pics with the minor marks of the same wheel with the curb rash?

    Gap on Passenger A-Pillar Interior Liner

    I'm sitting here laughing because I just drove my truck back from the SC, about a 2.5 hour drive, this afternoon and for the first time in 9 months I noticed a similar gap. And mine is Compass Yellow too!

    Rivian to raise $1.3B from sale of bonds. Premature?

    I said the exact same thing to a friend the night after the earnings release, that the conference call was really, really bad. And yes, shareholder litigation is almost a certainty. Don't know they will win, but reputation damage is still a concern now. I actually know a guy with a PhD in...

    Version 2023.02.03, reduced steering effort to maintain straight ahead driving on crowned roads.

    Agreed...it made a small but significant difference driving my R1T on two lane highways in particular.

    Official Rivian Email: A Look Ahead to 2023. Rivian Membership cancelled and unbundled into subscription services

    The Charge Assurance benefit was one of the things that tipped me from "I want to do this" to "I'm going to do this" when it came time to purchase my R1T six months ago. I have a long commute and knew it would take me some time to get the charging figured out (without charging to 100% multiple...

    Tesla to add Apple Music, hopefully Rivian follows suit

    No, other audio services seem to be blocked ("not supported on this device"), including SiriusXM.

    Reversing with a trailer causes automatic park

    Related question: Has anyone had an issue with surge brakes engaging on a trailer when backing even though the surge is set to not engage when the reverse pin on the 7-pin is on? Never had an issue with this on my last 2-3 Ridgelines, but had this issue today with the Rivian.

    Is it just me, or does the Rivian actually look better in person than photos?

    Completely agree. I fully expected my least favorite thing about the R1T would be its exterior styling. First time I had seen an R1T at less than 75 feet or doing less than 75 mph was when we arrived at the Normal facility to take delivery of mine. I fell in love with just one look, and I'm...

    Elon Musk says that Lucid and Rivian are tracking toward bankruptcy

    Elon Musk is a genius, innovator, and disruptor...and he's going to innovate his way into Club Fed courtesy of the SEC and Justice Department if someone doesn't start being his chaperone.

    Understanding the Rivian lottery

    Wait, are you suggesting that the small percentage of buyers on these forums are not a randomly selected sample of all buyers, and that it would be inappropriate to draw statistical inferences as a result? Pish posh. :)

    Understanding the Rivian lottery

    Yeah, that's wildly unacceptable, and defies all logic.

    Understanding the Rivian lottery

    After seeing those many, many posts, I didn't think it appropriate to post my thoughts to every one of those threads, so creating a new thread seemed best. As for SKUs...yes, it's three tires, but it's six distinct wheels. I wouldn't assume procurement is at any fault absent other...

    Understanding the Rivian lottery

    No, I don't work for Rivian, no I'm not related to George Soros or Jeff Bezos, and no, I'm not even an investor (that I know of). I'm posting, at best, for education, and otherwise perhaps for cathartic release. While the frustration is incredibly understandable, Rivian is losing battles to...

    Section 179 and Federal EV Rebate stackable?

    You can't double dip on the $7500 portion...if you claim the $7500 credit, you'll have to reduce your basis by $7500, regardless of how you're recovering the cost (179, bonus, MACRS, whatever). And of course only the business portion of the cost is recoverable. Since the Rivian R1T is over the...
