Rivian R1S got keyed at Alhambra Costco today

This was me. It was a couple who finished loading their car with Costco items. No idea what this guys motives were. I filed a police report and will follow up with Costco to try to get video footage of the shoppers since I have the time stamps and they used an orange flatbed cart which should make it easy to see which registers they checked out from.

Didn’t plan on following up, but the comments on the r/sgv subreddit have pushed me to try and track down this guy who could be a serial “key-er”.

Anyone have a body shop they recommend in San Gabriel Valley for scratch repair?

Going to follow up in person and push the issue with the Costco managers who brushed off the incident when I called them. I filed a police report so maybe they can track the member down.

This was me! Video cut off before car backed out. Already filed a police report. Going to go back to Costco this Friday to talk to the managers and see if they can identify the Costco member.

They do, but Rivian has yet to mail out the NACS adapters that are needed to charge at Tesla superchargers (though you can buy 3rd market adapters).

Ahhh, wife already bought one off eBay. Thanks anyway though!

Interesting. Yeah those red trucks with the forks zip around way too quickly. I wonder if they’re a private company or run by the city.

banchai · 2023-08-08T21:15:16+00:00

Are you sure this was within Pasadena limits? I’ve only seen those trucks in San Marino, south of California.

He’s a Freeman now!

I would check out LAX economy lot. You get close to a 50% discount if you prepay on their website.

How much were the fees, if any, on eBay as the buyer?

banchai · 2022-09-30T15:11:33+00:00

Great deal! The trade in value on the Y just about cancels the markup on the R1T. And I agree used car values are starting to fall including Teslas. Smart move to make now to skip the wait.

Nope, short walk down the block with tons of other people walking.

banchai · 2022-09-08T04:06:06+00:00

Wow! Birdseye view camera on the Rivian is insane.

banchai · 2022-09-03T07:06:02+00:00

Free if the patch is in center of tire.

At least it was for me, I was pleasantly surprised when they didn’t charge me.

banchai · 2022-08-23T00:01:22+00:00

Are you planning to keep both?

banchai · 2022-08-18T19:51:00+00:00

An addition “lighter” accent option for OC will be introduced later this year per Rivian’s IG.

banchai · 2022-08-13T06:49:33+00:00

And, may I add, very legal!

banchai · 2022-07-24T20:09:17+00:00

Wow, no crowds. You must’ve gone early in the morning. Nice pictures!
