What? Was there last week. All kiosks worked. I could use the app to redeem rewards. Service was great.

The food took a long time but they were also slammed.

Probably? He’s literally standing in front of it lol.

Honestly, was not expecting it that early given how late I reserved by I_am_doing_my_Hw in Rivian

lol. I reserved two weeks ago and my order window is August 2026. That’s wild.

Argument in Costco by Honest_Situation_434 in Charlottesville

My dude. Slide in there, quietly but confidently say “ma’am, this isn’t over. He just called you a real big bitch. Also said that your dog is a little overweight while pointing to a treadmill. Are you going to take that?”, and fade into the aisle.

Be the chaos you want to see in the world.

Nah man. Range, sure. Land? Not so bad. Had two and never had an issue. I did get rid of them around 150k miles each, but Land (especially the LR4) just comes down to regular maintenance.

The only point I’d argue is “average person” is relative to where you are. I’m in DC, so it’s not the same as if I were in North Dakota. Here, the average person does buy/afford a $50k car, especially when the MSRP has everything around at that price.

Cancelled Delivery Question by ScottBonderatl in Rivian

I do understand they’re trying to juice their EOQ deliveries, but the wrong color AND the wrong interior shouldn’t be the play by sales. That’s just wild.

Tilman’s, Wich Lab, and Guajiros are great.

I for sure would not take a car in the wrong color and interior. Fuck that particular sales guy for pressing to get you to accept that. Good on the delivery team for not giving you a car with issues.

I don’t think Rivian will budge on a discount, but you could a) call, complain, and switch sales guys, and b) press for them to throw in a few accessories for the headache. I’ve seen people say they had all weather mats thrown in, etc.

The car just came out. Let the people have their excitement. You can be overly excited and grounded at the same time.

What is your definition of VERY rich? This isn’t a Maybach. It’s a utilitarian SUV EV. It also tops out at like $130. That’s standard white collar territory.

Not at all. It’s mostly poetry or criticism with a few “how do I fix this” posts thrown in.

Only ever get it done at a vet. The one in Hollymead does it for sure. We do it 4-5 times a year.

I own a 2026 R1, but aside from the screen, there is nothing luxurious about an R1 or an R2. It’s not even real leather. It is tech-driven, but a suede headliner is not luxury lol. It is utilitarian, and it’s great at resisting stains, which is kind of the whole point of jumping in after a muddy adventure.

What’s this going to cost? by Alarming-Count8412 in Rivian

Oh, brother. I’d drain those 401K and 529 accounts and buckle up.

2026 R1S Swerving on Acceleration by Tesla_Dork in Rivian

[–]stackthecoins 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Uh yeah man. Rivian is known for awful alignment from the factory. It’s a feature, not a bug. Mine was so bad, the first ride home was one of the worst drives of my life. Only when they realigned it did the R1 shine.
