Did i read that right, the driver turned right and went wide into you?? How do you turn right and hit a massive SUV??

I am staggered by the standard of driving in this country. I presume she/he must have been DUI?
Crazy as it reads you read that correctly. My 5-year old even asked WTF happened with the other driver.

He made a turn so wide I think he would have been in the ditch had we not been there. No DUI, just poor driving skills. We didn't exchange many words after realizing all parties were unharmed. He did say "man, this is a bad corner". I replied "its just like every other right hand turn, you have to stay in your lane!"

Damn that sucks, sorry man. Same thing happen to me with my Tellurdie. Ordered, waited 6months, and only 3months in someone ran a red light and blind sided me. All this during pandemic.

It wasn't totaled but I knew I didn't want to keep a car with wreck on it. So I ordered a new one immediately. Repairs took 6months, new one arrived after 9months.

Got rid of wrecked one for the amount I paid for a new one, this was during pandemic so folks were desperate for cars. I lucked out.

I know that area well. Glad things worked out and everyone is ok.

OP; glad you guys are ok. Hope the replacement works out fairly. Sorry to see this happen to that R1S after waiting so long and only driving it a short period of time. You seem to be very gracious. Not sure I could have been.

We have Nationwide Private Client. In initial discussions with my agent she claimed they are great at total replacement value. For pricing, I sent them the configurator showing the current $101K price vs our original purchase price of $82K.

Good to know who covers Rivian's insurance! Did not know until you posted...
Weā€™re in NoVA and also have Nationwide Private Client. Iā€™m curious to hear how this is resolved. We havenā€™t had anything but positive experiences with the private client service.

Glad to know you and your family are uninjured, and hope you get your replacement s00n!

It appears we are in the market for our 2nd R1S after our car was hit in the side at a stop sign. We are finalizing information with our insurance company and the Rivian certified collision shop and should have confirmation soon.

Our car was in an accident on 3/30 coming home from school. A car turning right onto the road we were stopped at made a wide turn and hit us in the rear driver's side door. The impact was taken largely from the rear wheel.

At first, the repair shop wasn't aware, but later confirmed the frame was damaged and would need to be replaced. The current estimate for the repairs are $63,300 which exceeds the threshold to total loss the car.

Pics are below of the damage. We already have a deposit for the next car and should be granted access to the configurator and R1 shop shortly.

Our preorder date was 1/4/19 and we took delivery of the car 1,446-days later.

Hoping the 2nd Rivian comes a lot sooner than the 1st!

What a small world, we live off of that road your car photo was taken on and we ordered our R1S 1/6/2019. Still waiting though, just got R1 Shop access. Hope to meet you someday!

What a loser thing to say. Are you a child? People make mistakes. The man lost control of his car while making a turn. Stuff happens.

Wow, really small and holy cow that's a long wait!

We loved the car which is why we are willing to wait for another one. We have a couple long driveways and a mountain property that sees a bit more ice and snow than the valley so not really any other good EV options to cover us.

Have a RTT awaiting some cool vacas once we get fitted into a new one. Think we are switching to the 20" ATs on number 2.

DM me when you get the new one

What a week! Our insurance company provided us the numbers for our payout which is north of what a new R1S is along with all taxes, title, registration fees.

We worked with our guide on the R1 shop and matched with a new R1S that should be here within 8-weeks (car is still in Normal). Ended up with LA Silver, FE interior, All Terrain Upgrade (underbody and compact spare), 20" DARK wheels.

Our last car was awaiting a service center body panel alignment appointment before we matte wrapped it. Accident came before the appointment.

Will work with SC to ensure body panel alignment before they hand the car over and will get this one matte PPF'd as soon as it arrives.
