    Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    I I live in VT and am picking one up in Chelsea, MAā€”tentatively scheduled for the 4/6. I haven't heard anything about me not being able to collect the vehicle due to some registration rule. We opted to register it ourselves anyway since a dealer locally clued us in to a loophole that cuts...

    Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    I think the demo store is here to stayā€”and I don't think Rivian will successfully transact the 150+ vehicles in the demo store before end of Q1. Just becasue they say "Sale Pending" doesn't really mean they are close to deliveryā€”it says that as soon as you "check out" for $0, so I'm sure many of...

    Reinforced Underbody Shield removed & myth dispelled (not integral to pack structure)

    I suspect it would be covered, but there may be a better way I just found out about. Thanks to this thread and my upcoming purchase of a 2022 R1T from the demo shopā€”in my nearly ideal spec, minus RUS (FG/FE/20" Darks)ā€”I have learned something from my delivery coordinator that I have heard...

    Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    The steps should be as follows (skipping all the irritating missteps that my purchase experience included, which I've detailed on prior posts): Reserve vehicle on the shopify page. An Inside Sales Guide reaches out to you within 24 hours, and you receive a demo sales agreement. Sign the demo...

    Home Charger recommendation?

    We had a Rivian charger that didn't work very well with our Ioniq 5, but I think it was a problem with the car since we experienced weird issues with other chargers too, and then the ICCU failed and needed to be replaced. Due to an accident involving Ice, all-season tires, and a fairly steep...

    Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    Yes, if I were you I would definitely ā€œbuyā€ one for $0 dollars if itā€™s up on the shop and available. You donā€™t really have anything to lose, and hopefully youā€™ll be paired with a better Inside Sales Guide than I was who can help you determine whether or not you can get one. The Monroney sticker...

    Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    Iā€™m sorry to hear about your experience! If you scroll back to mine, I had a very frustrating time with my ā€œInside Sales Guideā€ Luis. Everything about the process felt very disorganized, and reaching Luis in any reasonable timeframe was a struggle. Days would go by with no reply to my...

    Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    They seem to be trickling in. When I locked in my truck, there were 4 R1Ss that were already snapped up, and I kept missing the ones that came in (despite my best efforts to refresh the page very frequently so I could get an R1S, which was my preference). Good luck!

    That sounds smooth and easy! I hope my (coming on 3-week) mess of a purchasing experience is an exception.

    Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    That would be great if someone can confirm how that step works. How long has it been since you placed your "order" on the shopify site for your demo truck? I ended up "locking in" the lower price that was showing on my portal earlier today because I got sick of waiting for my Internal Sales...

    Nokian Outpost nAT LT275/65R20 Review and Efficiency

    Any update on these with some more miles? Did you get a sense of what range to expect in All-Purpose mode? I haven't seen these tires discussed much here or elsewhere, but they look promising, and I've read good things about them on other platforms (though there doesn't seem to be much...

    20" Nitto Recon Grappler AT tires 25% more efficient than Pirelli OEM AT! The holy grail!

    Thanks for putting these Nittos on my radar. It's great to hear that there are some more efficient A/T options than stock Pirellis out there. I know the Falkens and Baja Bosses are a whole different animal (on the opposite spectrum of the A/T market from a weight, durability, off-road...

    20" Nitto Recon Grappler AT tires 25% more efficient than Pirelli OEM AT! The holy grail!

    Have you had a chance to run these off-road or in mud, dirt roads, or snow? How do you think these compare to something like the Falken Wildpeak AT3W or Baja Boss A/T for true off-road? My dad's R1T with 18k miles has gotten very loud. He is looking for a replacement ASAP, so I've been trying...

    Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    I'm glad to hear that. In spite of the length of my post and the frustration I'm communicating, I think I have actually been a low-maintenance customer, too. I did ask to see photos of the actual truck, but that was only because the vehicle page had been removed after I clicked "buy now," and in...

    Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    tl;dr - If Rivian wants to succeed, I think they need to overhaul how they sell their vehicles! I'm a motivated buyer (purchasing for a business), with money lined upā€”it shouldn't be this hard to buy the dang thing šŸ˜¤ It's one thing when demand is high and supply is short, but all things point to...

    Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    Thanks! While I wish I had snagged one of the rew R1Ss on the demo page, I'm excited for this truck once I get through the purchase process. Hopefully, it will arrive just in time for our atrociously muddy springtime back roads here in VT to really let loose. I wrote this a few posts back...

    Demo Rivians Now for Sale

    Yes. They will be moving it from Chicago to Chelsea and Iā€™m pretty sure my sales person said it was included in the price. There is an $1,800 ā€œdestination fee,ā€ which Iā€™m pretty sure I would pay even if I picked it up in Chicago anyways (my sales guy wasnā€™t clear on this, Iā€™ll ask tomorrow)...

    20ā€ wheels donā€™t necessarily come with reinforced underbody. The ones that do list them in the bullet points.
