Pretty sure it does carry over. I got a pop-up about a yearly/monthly subscription when the app first updated but I x'ed it out and went to my profile/settings and it shows Premium Member. No subscription.

FatalIll

Where did you find this?

Taking delivery also allows you to walk through the R2 and do your own checks, and get anything else taken care of while they have it for paint repair. So you knock out multiple birds with one stone instead of multiple SC appointments, hopefully.

I got the same verbiage and I am a November-December 2026 estimate.

FatalIll

Thats disturbing. I'm also in Charlotte NC and reserved April 2026. Mine shows Nov-Dec 2026.

FatalIll

Curious why Richmond and not Atlanta or Duncan/Ladson?

FatalIll

I'm curious what the before & after looks like

FatalIll

The computer is only 1 piece of the puzzle, theres no antenna or wiring for that to happen, as far as the manual and repair stuff thats been released so far says.

FatalIll

I guess a 3rd party bracket that doesn't require drilling?

Unfortunately I wasn't able to fully play around with the sound & music on my demo drive today and likely won't be able to do another anytime soon (too far from spaces)... BUT I was wondering what the hardware for the sound system is like, as far as what speakers and such. Of course software can make a lot of things better but only if the hardware is decent. If I do get my number called I'll be coming from a Hyundai with a Harman Kardon sound system, if the R2 is anywhere near similar that would be amazing.

FatalIll

So, how did it go? I have a reservation tomorrow!

FatalIll

An FM antenna is probably the cheapest thing you could put into a car... Just because you don't use it doesn't mean that others don't. While it's not the most widely used, it still serves a purpose.

FatalIll

As far as I'm aware, if you go into the configurator and build your vehicle to spec and heart it at the top, that's what's considered your build preference.

FatalIll

I don't doubt it but where did you see that it wasn't shipping with it? Is it not available in the software on the demo drives currently?

FatalIll

Excuse me... What?? I tried to read this like 7 times and still don't understand a single word.

FatalIll

It looks like the charge port door is misaligned on this one too, that worries me. I thought it was a pre-production issue but I guess not.

FatalIll

Come back here afterwards and let us know how it goes!

FatalIll

Im waiting for them to open up June 11th at Meat Packing District. It'd give me a reason to go into the office while I'm in NY.

FatalIll

Ok bud. I'm sorry I can't continue this tinfoil hat adventure with you. Best of luck with whatever you've got going on.

FatalIll

Rivian is no longer an infantile company, they can facilitate leasing options for people who want to go that route. You still haven't given any reason why lease = flop, just seems like you're mad that they didn't make the car 0$ for you. If you have a reservation, just refund it so the rest of us can buy the flop. :)

FatalIll

In what world is there no demand? Too expensive; The price point has been known to every reservation holder. A new product with leasing options means flop? Can I please have what you're having, it seems like good drugs.

FatalIll

Elaborate on what makes this a flop?

FatalIll

I only see that option on centers that are closed today, it seems.

FatalIll

Dang I wanted to schedule one for Thursday but it looks like they only allow for today only. Maybe they'll open up day by day?

FatalIll

The Demo Drive page is giving me a 404 currently 🤔
