It's going to be all of a hundred. My WAG is somewhere between 110 and 120. Above that, and you're really reaching and getting into Aston-type territory, which is just a whole different class of the car. I don't think Rivian can compete in the ultra-premium space.
They hold at least one patent for a switching system to toggle voltage.The more powerful quad motor has been rumored for awhile so I think that is probably a go. I’ve heard the question with that is whether it will only be offered in a “premium” trim.
The other rumors just popped up recently so who knows, but they sound believable. We know they were already working on 800v for the future. Maybe it‘s ready to roll??
I was thinking that the tech told OP these rumors to see if it would show up on this forum.
That is interesting. I had not seen that one before. Hard to know if this was incorporated into the new system or not…
As does heat pump,
Well LFP is in the Polestar and over the years they have optimized it with Preconditioning and just overall management.
The EDV is LFP, they've been making them a while. Further, the R1T was designed for a 180kWh battery in max pack config, so presumably it has 30% extra space with might make LFP work on the dual. Plus, if it's going on a $80k truck the tax credit doesn't matter, so why not use made in China packs, that would save a lot of money. I think the only real downside is the weight, need to keep it under 7500lbs for NY buyers at least.
I think the 180kWh was with packs in the underwear space and even heard in the tunnel as well. The rumored location/s varied over the years. I’ve had a reservation on a max pack quad since November 2018. I gave in and picked up a Large pack quad in Launch green when it was in the shop.
