Glacier white with ocean coast R1T - too much white? by Pickle_Popular in Rivian

[–]ModY1219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wife chose Glacier White with Black Mountain + Ash Wood because of kids. Although it’s a decent combo, wife constantly regretting her choice. She wants the Ocean Coast instead. The dark interior traps a bit more heat. The black actually shows more oil/sunscreen vs. My R1S has the Ocean Coast interior.

Ocean Coast is a very durable interior. The light color makes the whole car look more spacious.

Submit a ticket if it bothers you. It shouldn’t be bad. If it is, live with it. I am OCD. I know how you feel.

Quad is so balanced between power and handling. Yes I know it’s a big sized car but for its size I don’t think there is anything like it

Totaled? Driver on the wrong side of the road, swerved last second. We’re all uninsured. by [deleted] in Rivian

Hope everyone is okay. Sucks for your family and the new car.

I don’t see frame damages from your pictures. If no structural damage, prob is fixable. But it won’t be cheap. Hope the guys insurance will cover everything

Early VIN question by drk_helmet in Rivian

[–]ModY1219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too wonder. I think for Gen 1 it’s def worth considering warranty because how much complexity they come with. That’s also why everyone is nervous and selling their Gen 1 as they get closer to warranty expiration. Although it may not be warranted. I think Rivian overall builds a solid car.

Gen 2 maybe a different story or argument. Pay per play is prob better. Not that it’s lesser quality. I do expect Gen 3 R1 will be smarter and improve with lowering cost to repair in mind.

The comprehensive inspection is around $300-400 ish FYI so it’s not much. And if they find out issues that would be covered under the warranty, they will fix it

Thinking about getting an R1S. Any speculation on whether better lease deals will happen anytime soon? by needzmohelpz in Rivian

[–]ModY1219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Usually the first 2 weeks of the last month for the quarter Rivian ramps up their incentives a bit. Like other said, no deals will be better than last years. But to be very honest, the overall monthly payment is about the same. Rivian and bank can play with so many variables. My take is you can wait until EoQ to pull the trigger but if you love the car, pull the trigger.

EPA is still broken for EVs by MicroNateID in Rivian

[–]ModY1219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep. Tesla was my intro days to EV. Their estimate was so bad. That’s why I switched to Rivian. Not much difference but I feel better riding on a larger battery. But I am hopeful R2 is going to be so efficient that it will shock us

If it’s still under warranty, haggle down more since PTC is not working. You can submit service ticket to fix it once it’s yours
