Why this site exists
I'm Rick from Morrison, Colorado. I've been driving my R1S Dual-Motor in LA Silver since 2026. When I was researching my purchase, I found information scattered across forums, Reddit threads, and outdated blog posts. I built this guide to put everything in one place — federal credits, state incentives, the Costco program, and the referral system. I share my code because Rivian rewards both of us when you use it — same way you get yours.
