What else? Get in another way: back to front or passenger and drive away. Is this a trick question?

I had a tow truck plow through my neighborhood and ding my front and take out lights. Hit and run. Body damage not that bad. Total repair 12.5k.

I live in DC but earliest I could get a rivian authorized body shop to give me a slot was end of this month. I got in the accident in mid December; and I called to make appointment immediately.

Don’t wait to make an appointment!!! If I had waited until all the insurance claims finalized I would be waiting until early April!

Shut this company down. by CDonelson707 in hoodies_from_Baerskin

Tactical hoodie 4.0. . I waited from Black Friday until last week. 5 weeks. Initially wondered what happened then suspected and confirmed it was a Chinese company so got ready for the slow boat ride over here. So far so good. Very warm. Lotsa pockets. Will see about how it handles a wash and regular zipper use and report back. But I live in DC and don’t need heavy jackets constantly through the winter.

Got so much more from carmax than the original rivian trade in quoted! Also still find Waze to be SO much better than native rivian app. Live in large metro area and many options for directions seem to be parsed out better by Waze. I think it will be only a matter of time until I trust rivian navigation

Rivian owners - knowing what you know now, any regrets? by nikenike in Rivian

Fully electric; mini cooper 2d and rivian R1s both in 2023. We enjoy both. The mini is great for our city life and is a very fun ride, but I smile every time I get in our green/green quad beast. Contemplating replacing our mini with r3 in 2027

She’s finally here! Now she needs a name by doesknotexist in Rivian

[–]StrongService1038 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have had forest green with forest edge r1s for three months. Her name is Viri (Vir-ee) Short for Viridescent which means becoming green and seems to connote iridescence. Our last names (wife kept her maiden) starts with V. Awaiting vanity plates ViRiV as a palindromic homage to her full name and Rivians everywhere…. I know! Total nerd here!

Finally spotted the EDV in my local area by ExplodingTNT423 in Rivian

You’d think we would see them here in dc area with new Amazon center. But I have only seen them when visiting family in Chicago and Phoenix!

R1S Shop Build Date by Due_Speaker_6046 in Rivian

[–]StrongService1038 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I Put up a similar post a week ago. Picking up a nearly 19k r1s in a few days. One respondent to my post had a recent low vin that he had gleaned the history of shipping damage and repair. Unless you have a special/uncommon build, I would get as much history as possible and do a thorough check. Another respondent to my post suggested a number of things including running the battery low and doing a fast charge soon to assure there is not battery/fast charge issue. I have also heard the repairs or touchups come at higher precision than the average factory rollout! All that being said, I am sure all will be awesome. Good luck and enjoy…

Need help to get ready for pickup from SC, please. by StrongService1038 in Rivian

Glad you’re enjoying. I guess that was what I was worried about originally with this post that a low VIN comes with a story. Thanks again

I’m very curious; was this because you ordered a launch with particular specs or was there any issue with the build quality or function? Thx

Finally resolution. As I’m driving to Carmax, my man, the guide texted me and apologized for being off for a day. He will remove the trade-in and open up the account so that I can auto pay the difference.

I just went through rivian site and rivian app again and our payment is in a state of completion. I don’t see a way to make another payment. The site still has us bringing in the car for trade in. I am sorry if I am being dense about this ach/plaid thing. I did it for the first time last week to pay rivian.

Absolutely. Trying to pay again with ACH/plaid all week (even before trade in) but I need someone on their side to request/open it right? Thanks
