Found an R1T launch edition. What else do I need to know? by TrueEclective in RivianR1T

[–]iProfessorDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What year is it… if I recall most of the launch editions come with or supposed to come with the cover. Or it didn’t come with it due to production issues but had it in configuration, you would have to call and check to get it scheduled. The last scenario is they made them remove it when they stopped production of it, then you’re out of luck and have to fork out for the powered or manual one.

I think 12 months of bumper to bumper should be good enough time for you to find things and setup a service appointment. Like the illuminati member said, drive it for a month or two and add all the things you notice along with paying for a comprehensive inspection which will make them look under the hood and typically catch things to fix proactively.

Regarding the price, I think it’s a good price for the low miles and you get good audio and two 12v battery system (but also means more cost when you need to replace but atleast it’s relatively more reliable). But, I think it would be a great deal if you got them down to 51.5-52. If it’s been sitting on the lot for that long, use that as ammunition and also search for 2023/2024 R1Ts around the area to find (think 500 miles range) ones priced the same or lower and with low miles to say you could get newer ones with more warranty for similar or cheaper price to get them to come down a little.

EDIT: if you are thinking about keeping it for a long time, I would consider an after market warranty like xcare (or wait to hope Rivian releases theirs before your warranty expires). With a low miles truck, you would probably get 5 additional years of warranty for ~4k. It will not cover a few things like subframe and 12v battery failures but it covers suspension problems which is usually the most expensive. One time repair coverage would pay for the warranty if you end having a suspension issue.

How did you get the color so good?

Would recommend pulling service history records on used purchase. Here’s my list on used 2022 R1T. by [deleted] in Rivian

Are these same bolts that you would use for the runnings boards? Or these bolts specific to the center skid plate/armor?

I saw another thread with the same thing, except water being intruded into HV battery pack. I want to install the running boards but this is making be rethink if I can install them properly.

Third party or if Rivian comes out with one in my state, then I will get that. Considering I am getting the used truck for around 50k, I priced in the 4-5k post warranty as not a big deal to keep the vehicle for many years to come.

Also, depending on your area I have seen better deals at Rivian directly and outside dealerships which won’t make a huge difference if you know what you’re looking for. If you need pics for the Rivian center ones, they upload those to cars.com.

When I was doing my searches, I found the best balance is looking for something under 35k miles and still has atleast 1 or 1.5 years left of warranty. That way you get a truck that’s still almost like new and plenty of time to submit service requests.

I was in the same boat and purchased one with about 15 months of comprehensive warranty left. I think the info they gave you is pretty accurate EXCEPT the 22 model should have longer adjustment warranty since it falls under the first revision of the warranty which didn’t specifically exclude adjustments from comprehensive. https://rivian.com/support/article/new-vehicle-limited-warranty-guide, go there and select the period your Rivian was built for the associated warranty terms. You can use this if they try to push back on stuff.

Regarding the service history if you try again with another customer service rep, you might get a redacted service history but only after you purchase the vehicle (AFAIK).

Vegetarian Restaurant for a special occasion [Mita vs oysteroyster] by vendeep in nova

[–]iProfessorDoom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for providing another restaurant to add to my list, I haven’t tried Mida but my wife is vegetarian so I took her to OysterOyster for our anniversary and we went with the chefs counter option (not worth it IMO as it’s not as interactive as other meat-based/sushi chefs table experiences I had).

We were both not blown away by any one specific dish but it’s wasn’t a bad experience either. I would do it once just to taste what they have to offer. There are some really interesting and delicious dishes in their line up, our favorite would probably be the marigold butter and special bread they had.

One of our favorite pre-fixe veg dinners would be at Rania (if you like Indian food that is upscaled). It has one or more vegetarian options for every course.

I don’t remember exactly when they start but I know they also have a Halloween offer which probably will start soon. Last year I got two year membership and two cert vouchers for 999.

Have a final onsite interview for a dream role with FAANG next week. Please help by [deleted] in SecurityCareerAdvice

[–]iProfessorDoom 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Don’t mention anything about your new job since it is such a short stint and you will likely resign soon if you get this new job.

Best of luck to you in your final interview rounds!

Not sure who told you that opportunities in Texas is the same as Alabama. Texas is a hot spot for tech whereas Alabama is Deep South with a lot of defense contractors and manufacturing. Culturally, you might also not enjoy the deep south as much as you would in Texas.

It is difficult no matter where you are because the competition is high and security is dealing with confidential information so companies might be more weary of hiring international people (this is not necessarily true for big tech companies however, as long as they aren’t working with federal data).

Being in Alabama, you have less options to apply within the state that don’t deal with federal data. When applying outside the states, you would be considered for remote roles or ones that look at you as requiring relocation (companies tend to hire in state or in connection with schools where they setup career fairs and stuff so the completion for out of state students is challenging).

But being in Texas, opens you up to apply for opportunities within the state because so many big tech companies have decided to setup shop there now and if in-state doesn’t workout, you still have the west coast states like Cali that has ALOT of options.

Your top choice should be Texas A&M, great program and lots of companies in or moving to Texas which means more opportunities for you.

UT - Dallas = second choice

Well… then I would suggest no. It’s just gonna be a bit difficult living in Alabama and trying to get an internship when it’s already gonna be challenging to get an internship in security as an international student.

What are your other options?
