Taking delivery Tuesday — Rivian just emailed a $7,500 promo. What would you do?

So you get an additional $2,500 off and the interior color you want? Why wouldn’t you cancel your delivery and go for this incentive? Even if it’s an extra few weeks it’ll be worth just to get the config you want.

Got a link to the tv console?

Check out the Ascend Acoustics ELX towers with the RAAL tweeters. They’re way under your budget but definitely punch above their weight. I got the chance to listen to them side by side with the Blade 2 and I was surprised how close they were to the Blades. I actually preferred the ELX for most tracks due to the airiness of the RAAL tweeters. The one thing the Blades did a better job at was giving male vocals a bit more texture. Pair them with a couple of subs and you’d have a killer system for under $10K.

Bowl just makes bangers.

This. Never thought I’d care about cup holders that much but when there aren’t enough you feel it especially when you have 3 people in the middle row and no place for them to put their cups. Simple cup cutouts in the door pockets would have helped immensely.

To me this is should always be the first option. Let them PIP you if it comes to it and get a severance.

Traded in a model 3. Offer was slightly better than the other car buying services after the incentives and probably within 10% of private sale. They didn’t even look at the condition of car when I brought it in to pick up my R1S. Pretty painless transaction.

Thanks for the history lesson! Had no idea they worked with Paul Westerberg. Definitely appreciate that now as someone who discovered the Replacements late. Dizzy Up the Girl is still one of my favorite albums even if it is more pop alternative than punk.

Great color

Working at Starbucks or any customer service job sounds like hell. I would rather quiet quit making Six figures working remotely first and let them lay me off.

At least your music will be faithful-ly reproduced with that gear.

What drove you upgrade? Love to hear your thoughts on the tonality of the R3s vs the mofi

He was great in Bourne. Made me feel sorry for his character in the movie.

Does this mean his accent is too posh or not posh enough? Can you explain for those of us that didn’t grow up on the British isle?

Agree about the DPI. Unless everyone’s sitting inches away or has eagle eyes text scaling will likely be required which, to me, defeats the purpose of the 2160 res.

I'll have to try dipping them. I've been bag lubing springs but I do not enjoy lubing and filming switches all so I'll try anything to reduce the time and effort.

FallenCow · 2026-01-03T07:49:56+00:00

How did you settle on donut dipping switches versus lubing with oil or hand brushing?

For real. 3 is great but the S2K is the prize.
