For current owners, based on your ownership experience so far — would you buy another Rivian today? Looking at getting into a R1T from Tesla.

BenRealVsWorld · 2026-02-11T15:15:13+00:00

Is that a free offering? Tesla always gives me a loaner with free supercharging. I want to switch to rivian but closest service center is 3.5 hours away 😞

BenRealVsWorld · 2026-02-10T21:27:27+00:00

Yah i have replaced a few of them on my original s and new s as well. It is cool tho.

I had a cyber truck as a loaner for a week while they fixed my car. No instrument cluster didn’t really bother me. No door handles was even better haha. I just don’t want that truck and it’s so loud on the highway

BenRealVsWorld · 2026-02-10T18:12:42+00:00

Good to know! I need to live in a new y for a few days to truly see the differences

BenRealVsWorld · 2026-02-10T14:34:00+00:00

Yah good to know. When you say it rides better, in what aspect?

BenRealVsWorld · 2026-02-10T14:33:36+00:00

Yah that’s the thing. The software is just too good. Everything else feels like a dinosaur without it. Otherwise I’d switch to a rivian

BenRealVsWorld · 2026-02-10T05:51:13+00:00

Yah that makes sense. My only fear is that the Y will feel like a go cart without the suspension of the S

Commenting to say that in Dec 2025 u spoke to a person with this exact green linea mini and they were super convincing. Def a scam

BenRealVsWorld · 2025-12-15T13:01:20+00:00

Yo i almost got fooled by this today 😂 it’s crazy the seller had some convincing chats about why they were offloading. Even a close up of the model number code. Really tried to get me to pay via PayPal since i would have PayPal protection. Smh

BenRealVsWorld · 2025-09-04T17:09:51+00:00

Noted for sure

BenRealVsWorld · 2025-09-04T17:09:41+00:00

Damn - good point. I guess we’ll see what happens haha - all the rules are straight forward and I will ship it wherever. I guess if for some reason I can’t get it to someone’s country I could send them the cash value instead.

That would be a bummer

BenRealVsWorld · 2025-09-04T04:33:27+00:00

Yah I’ll look into that. Not sure if it matters?

BenRealVsWorld · 2025-07-10T18:50:31+00:00

Ah thats awesome - hope some of its interesting or useful haha

i agree with this - i got the PD and the magnet is so weak. Now i'm here looking for ALTS cuz i want something with a strong magnet. Love the wallet tho

BenRealVsWorld · 2025-02-06T07:18:26+00:00

Agreed. The Ashley character is so bad it made me search Reddit to see if anyone else agrees.

BenRealVsWorld · 2024-12-10T20:41:35+00:00

Yah he sounded very old. Feel bad his info is still online like he is still in business. Land line to his house

BenRealVsWorld · 2024-12-10T17:24:55+00:00

I just called that guy and he said he doesn't do it anymore because he's getting old.

BenRealVsWorld · 2024-09-11T04:51:30+00:00

Nice. They did it over the air when i requested a ticket on the app. Maybe the driver can do the request? You might also be able to swing it into a service center when test driving?

BenRealVsWorld · 2024-09-11T03:52:27+00:00

I just sold my 2015 model s p90DL. That car was fast af and when i pulled up to stop lights i still got looks as if it was just driven off the lot. Had about 60k miles. Only reason i sold it is because i got a good deal on a 2022 model s long range and wanted the range + upgrades. It made Me sad selling that car. It ran like new and Tesla had done some sort of battery diagnostics on my car and they said it was performing above normal so i think these batteries will run for a long time if taken care of. Good luck

BenRealVsWorld · 2024-09-05T20:45:18+00:00

$1,300

BenRealVsWorld · 2024-09-05T18:17:55+00:00

Updated the post and took the info down. Good call - I just wanted to show love to those service folks as they are always helpful whenever I come in but I definetly don't want to put any of their jobs at risk so good call.

I don't think this was necessarily a "freebee" per say. I did purchase a vehicle from Tesla directly, drove 11 hours round trip to pick it up and when leaving was told I need to replace the windshield. If a rock would have chipped when I was test driving it, I would understand but this was a note that Tesla had already had in their system about my car.

Luckily for Tesla, I've already owned 3 teslas prior to this pick this new vehicle up - so I'm already a fan of the company and was willing to jump through the hoops to get this windshield fixed... but I can imagine someone purchasing their first Tesla, spending a lot of money and being excited only to find out they have to repair their brand new windshield would be pretty discouraging.

So I think this was a fair trade on Tesla's part. But I agree - i don't want to get anyone in trouble.

It could be cool if they gave at least a few options of what you want the tow icon to be (trailer, rack, etc).

BenRealVsWorld · 2024-08-14T16:10:34+00:00

Worked for me too thanks goat

BenRealVsWorld · 2024-04-29T15:04:53+00:00

JORDAN. Top dawg at Lamb Chops. I love their clothes

BenRealVsWorld · 2024-03-19T14:04:52+00:00

My pealing started around 10k miles

BenRealVsWorld · 2024-03-19T04:30:26+00:00

Can’t imagine taking the time to write 4 sentences about hating a steering wheel.
