  1. The looming recession & your place in line for a Rivian [WARNING: NO POLITICS]

    You'd be surprised how many actually cannot, especially the lower end of that spectrum.
  2. OutofSpec Kyle Gets His R1T - Rivian Factory Delivery Video

    The video was a little long winded, but congrats to Kyle. I look forward towards the shenanigans you'll be pulling off in that truck @OutofSpecKyle (Jump test!! :) )? This isn't his ideal order though. I'd be hella pissed if this was the spec he ordered, that would be unfair, but Rivian giving...
  3. $10K cash for any reservation with delivery date in the next 30 days...

    @Administrator, can this be moved to the buy/sales thread?
  4. Dual Motor Assembly Line Videos - From RJ Scaringe

    Tis simple. That's a molecular discombobulator
  5. Rivian R1T electric truck 'way underpriced,' but room to improve (says Sandy Munro)

    Yep! I keep saying this. Despite the initial hefty cost, for what you get, the R1T is a bargain.
  6. Info From RJ's Fireside Chat on June 2nd (w/ mention of LFP batteries)

    None, not even the LG chem battery issue (mine is a '17 model). If I did have to complain about anything is that I wished the vehicle did 300 miles instead of 267 (despite stating it will only do 250). I'll restate: I'm not a Chevy fan in even the most remote of ways, but I got to give credit...
  7. F150 LIGHTNING now being delivered -- first one to retail customer today

    That's not even what I was aiming at. Yes, I get that the Rivian and the F-150 Lightning target two different demographics and I am OK with that. It's what's being offered (even for the cost of the vehicles). I still cannot fathom how the F-150 is better. The R1T is so feature rich and out...
  8. Info From RJ's Fireside Chat on June 2nd (w/ mention of LFP batteries)

    Not many are happy with GM's overall performance and reliability. Despite that being said, their Bolt EV truly is a bad ass little EV. Part of me is debating about keeping mine when I get my Rivian.
  9. Loss of the exhaust note…sex without noise.

    THIS. Sadly, too many idiots (yes, I said it) are too brain washed into believing that sound is the end all/be all regarding a vehicle's 'soul'. I even during my heavy I.C.E. days, I loathed the sound of rice burners and would even ask "how is that engaging or enthusiastic building?" I too...
  10. Info From RJ's Fireside Chat on June 2nd (w/ mention of LFP batteries)

    Eh, regarding Tesla, it's a "yes & no" scenario to me. Like you pointed out, they've become the definitive "EV company" to meet and (hopefully) surpass. But that bar isn't really that high. Regarding meeting Audi and Porsche, I don't see it as being unrealistic, more like something akin to...
  11. Two Rivians meet

    LOL I got a Ms. Pacman "meets" Pacman vibe from that ?
  12. Ford Wants to Move to Direct Sales for EVs

    I can see the dealership wanting to turn to their lawyers for this one. The amount of butt hurt they're going to feel for not being able to artificially markup vehicles is going to cause some serious strife ?
  13. Loss of the exhaust note…sex without noise.

    Here is a custom Alpha Romeo Giulia GT EV by Totem with an exhaust emulator and it sounds really good for an EV. Just don't ask for the price as only 20 of these will be made and each one is uniquely customized to the individual purchaser.
