Announcing our new "CLUBS" section where you can join or create a Rivian club or group! You can use this new feature to conveniently plan and discuss local events, gatherings or other club/group related topics.
So we encourage you to join (or start) special-interest and regional-based Rivian clubs at: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/group-categories/clubs-groups.1/
From my discussion with the Nationwide rep about a year ago, there is no legal/contractually bound "you shall get to the front of the line", rather it's a "hey Rivian, we've got another one... Can you help us out?" backdoor conversation.
I canāt figure out what OG is supposed to stand for. When using something random itās common to kind of help people along. ChatGPT thinks you might be using the term āoriginal gangsterā to refer to your original truck. Is that accurate? What is the term Original Gangster from? Is this something everyone knows?Rivian got me a new R1T just 27 days after a drunk driver crashed into us and totaled the OG.
Just a few quick things:
I loved the OG truck. And the way it protected us made it an absolute no-brainer to stick with Rivian for all future purchases. It was a low 3000 VIN. The few little blemishes that existed on it, like the top roof glass not being flush and causing some wind noise and a couple of paint blemishes do NOT exist in this new one. I actually have not found any such issues at all so far.
This truck is really quiet on the interstate. I drove it 80+ mph on I-85 yesterday and it was much quieter in the cabin than the OG.
The new in house sound system is sick! Much much harder hitting than the Meridian was. On the OG I used Jazz setting on the EQ and bumped up the scale to give it more base. On this new one I didn't adjust the EQ at all, I just set it to classical and it sounds great.
Obviously no current cover for the bed. But the rails are there. I'm hopeful that the powered one can actually be retrofitted. The folks at the service center said they think it probably can be but they have not gotten any official word or seen the final product of the new design yet.
Finally the OG was black interior. I loved that interior. But went with the Forest Edge on this one. It really really pops.
One final thought--if you are wondering about insurance, be sure to make sure that whatever you get has guaranteed new truck replacement. The Rivian one with Nationwide might be the only one that guarantees it. Not sure. But after all this went down, I would not play around with the insurance part of the deal. Trying to save a few bucks is not worth it.
*Now I just got to find some of the all weather floor mats with the yellow logo on them. I left the old ones in the OG. And the rivian shop hasn't had any in stock for a bit.
yes. Original or in rap slang original gangsta.
my understanding is this varies by state. But in GA they do factor in the taxes and registration. That was about $6k above what they estimated the truck at.
what you paid doesn't matter. I got original pricing as well. What matters is the type of insurance you have. There is ACV (actual cash value) and there is RC (replacement cost.) In most cases you want the later. Especially with mass produced vehicles. Say a chevy tahoe that is 2 years ago and prices of the new ones are up $15k--you want replacement cost.
notice the * with it. They still have a few launch modes left over. So if someone near a service center is willing to take certain color and wheel combos that haven't sold, they can get one quickly.
The best thing to do if you have a crash like this is to talk to your rep directly.
Every pre-order that's not a dual motor version. That's what it sounds like.
That's not exactly what the * means.
It's what they mean. The R1T shop has some vehicles left over that have not sold. Mostly it is a few Launch Mode ones. I was in the shop 2 weeks ago getting this new replacement truck and I saw them and asked my rep what the deal was with the cheaper launch mode ones. If you live in an area near a service center and like some of the options sitting there you can get it quickly.
Thanks OP ā I didnāt mean to be a DB about OG just AFAIK itās pretty random, but YMMV!
