    Denver Center Open House

    I get that, but after just vaporizing a $3,000 deposit in 2019 for a Saleen S1 to never get a refund back as the Car will never see the light of day. I just canā€™t do it unless I see it, sit in it and if possible even get a test ride. I just canā€™t bring myself to do it if you know what I mean.

    Denver Center Open House

    Spoken like a Manitoban. Hey I grew up in Saskatchewan so thanks for the laugh. Look, I didnā€™t have this kind of an issue with buying my Dodge Viper, not my Aston Martin nor our Genesis GV70 (10th one delivers in the US last year) we bought last year. Rivian is a lifestyle brand. For those of...

    Denver Center Open House

    Registered for all the events for past 2 years and everything else Rivian has had to register for to at least see the truck(s)., everything except $1,000 deposit as only want to do that if I actually like and will buy the vehicle (not a buy and return or backout kind of person). Where did this...

    Denver service center received 21 R1T Today

    No way on earth I am laying 6 figures on a vehicle without seeing it, touching it and experiencing a ride first. Bought a number of very expensive vehicles in my life and these are my own words to live by. Also why I never buy vehicles at auction, sight unseen. If Rivian can not accommodate, I...

    Question but are all these order delivery as in sold? Or does Rivian at least have one that is available to sit inside, have them take me for a test ride, etc? I have really been wanting one but just canā€™t order one without seeing it, touching it, etc. Thanks

    Rivian R1T Colors - Previews

    Want to reflect big changes, should offer something truly unique like this hue off my 1995 Saleen S351R BASF Mystic Edition Speedster. First for the world in 95ā€™. RJ, call it ā€œDragons Breathā€.

    Rivian vs. Cybertruck

    Okay, as much as I dislike the Cyber truck why does this actually look good to me? Just missing roof rack and mother-in-law chair.

    Why so quiet from Rivian?

    It's the holiday season. Why worry about mass marketing, updates, etc. during this time, especially when the product is not ready to deliver this moment? Be different if you could just pick it up and drive it home tomorrow, then market away. Right now it doesn't make sense to be letting everyone...

    Lincoln SUV will be first First vehicle built on Rivian skateboard chassis

    All of this is proof in the pudding. If it is a real car out there, that is 1/2 the battle. If not, it is just talk. No different than all these people saying they handle Cyber Technology today. Everyone talks about it, drops the buzz words but few are doing anything real. Tesla is out there...

    Novice to EVs but a question?

    Thanks guys; This is helping! I do realize most is all concerns are in my head for some of it right now as far as my own mind limitations on what it can be or should be for expectations. I have never owned an EV. It is really no different that overcoming buying a different brand for what they...

    Novice to EVs but a question?

    Alan, when you go way out in the middle nowhere Colorado or Wyoming, you are going to want a full charge in reserve. You just never know what you will encounter. IMHO, this is part of the EV problem. It is not an all or nothing, not an it has to be all EV or Gasoline or whatever. It is about...

    Rivian vs. Cybertruck

    Thanks for the update but when the federal credits dissolve and they will, donā€™t expect a large % of owners to be installing their own power infrastructures at home. To truly compete with gasoline or diesel, EVs energy support systems need to be as portable and plentiful as gas stations period...

    Novice to EVs but a question?

    A novice to EVs and charging but charging times seem to be a big concern for many (me included). I only ever see one charging port on any EV vehicles, is there not a way to design a system on the vehicles for dual charging ports solution on these trucks and cut down charging times in 1/2 by...

    Rivian vs. Cybertruck

    Donā€™t have a Tesla, those that do, can you look at the Supercharging portion of contract? Willing to bet dollars to dimes that Tesla will eventually sell off the supercharger network to someone. They are an auto manufacturing company, not a utility provider, even though they do provide utility...

    Rivian vs. Cybertruck

    All I can say for the automotive community is "Thank God" the Ford Mustang Mach E and the Aston Martin DBX were also released in the same week. I mean the Tesla Truck made the Mach E look good and it looks like a week old bloated dead horse. The Aston Martin DBX is just a beautiful vehicle...

    Rivian vs. Cybertruck

    Ha! Ha! The comments on here are pretty entertaining. I don't think I could put enough paper bags over my head if I bought and drove that Tesla Truck. Price, etc. withstanding, let's just look at aesthetics of the two for a second. Absolutely no comparison between the two and in the end...

    Any clues on build/price date?

    Guys and Gals; My comment on ā€œvaporwareā€ is not that the truck does not exist nor is it not out there doing real testing. My comment is until I physically see it, touch it, drive it, TO ME it is still vaporware and unobtainium. I was very upset that the truck was here in Colorado for a recent...

    Any clues on build/price date?

    So.... seeing in person and driving is the key for me. When I buy a new vehicle, I am buying ā€œwhy it exists and how it makes me feelā€. Right now I like what I see in pictures and why Rivian exists but will NOT be cinched until I sit in it, run my hands along it, crawl under it and drive it. Just...
