Does this basically destroy the Rivian + Xpel partnership? Or would the PPF not count in the MSRP? America is truck and SUV heavy, those are expensive in EV form for the immediate future...They need to realize this and either remove cap or faze it in over 3-5 years. Thought - wonder if...

I had my drive yesterday in the outskirts of Seattle just before you head into the mountains, so I had open roads. I loved it and felt like I was driving a very heavy sports car. Whipping around the roundabouts, hopped on the highway, found a bumpy gravel road, drove around town. Granted I had...

Thank you! This is the stuff these forums are actually good for. I am a data systems analyst, so understanding the complexities in producing a 2nd vehicle as a new company is, well, new.

Not really. I'm saying we all see they are ramping. What my lack of knowledge wants to understand is why they can't hypothetically go "OK, we are producing 2000 R1T a month and have an abundance of them, let's switch to 1500 S and 500 T"

I know there are many here that have a lot of knowledge on manufacturing/ramps/etc. Question I have is - when they start real R1S production and delivery, shouldn't it be much faster than the T? In my mind, being that they are the same line and same parts they could theoretically switch to...

Sorry friend.

Ok, guy. Bizarre to ask if your mobile drive is in any way linked with delivery window? Sure. You act like I said hey lady do you know my specific day of delivery for this vehicle?

Thanks all! Consensus seems to be nope not a correlation. Funny I got a yes and a no answer in the same chat from the same person.

No. It isn't a problem. Can ask for whatever just like you can say no I'm not doing it. Wild part is people here in these forums were paying thousands for a delivery RANGE before a vehicle was produced.... But a company says pay 5 grand to lock in your build, and because it's not Rivian, it's...

There is a lot of inaccurate information being shared here. The Ocean One deposit is refundable IF they went out of business/didn't produce the vehicle... which is the only thing that matters right? No problem with asking for 5 grand to lock in your specific order for production. A simple...

R1S beginning of Sept 2021. My original window was 1H 2023 but I had OC and 22s at the time. I've since changed to BM and 21s. Haven't received the new window so I've assumed 2H 2023 now. Just odd to have a mobile drive so far in advance, IMO

I guess if you give both answers, you can't be wrong?

Problem with these forums is just like politics. People basically become fanboys and any criticism no matter how big or small is responded to like it was a personal attack. Yes fair expectation that the R1S have basics that my Palisade has like a push button to open the rear, and buttons in the...

This is just ridiculous at this point. Seeing all the stealth pictures has me at square 1 colorwise for my R1S (I've got time). I was convinced Rivian Blue with 22s and then I'd get them powder coated because I won't pay 3500. NOW? I want to stealth wrap for sure, so I'm considering colors I'd...

I should specify that I was referring to the R1S and not the T. As far as pickups go, the max pack R1T is the best choice IMO. But I'm starting to not see the benefit of paying 90 grand for a max pack R1S when by the time it arrives there will be multiple 7 seat SUV options with 800v...

This point is very fair. If you off-road, makes total sense. We don't, and don't know anyone who does personally. We do live in the Seattle area and regularly drive all over the PNW for hiking and such, and really any SUV works for that - which is what I imagine is the regular "adventure...

R1S pre order holder Sept 1st, 2021 and long time lurker of these forums but never registered/posted. As we see more large EVs get announced, what benefit does a Rivian have over them? The main thing Rivian had going was being first by a long shot, but now it's all close together and the...
