Don't tease us like that! The name of the game is, Lowered Expectations not Get Your Hopes Up.

No idea if he even bothered. Enough by the looks of it.

I can’t imagine how frustrating that must be. After waiting so long through all the hype on how great the R1T is, to have your honeymoon period ruined with terrible service and shoddy quality must be infuriating. Best of luck. Let us know if they try to make it right.

I think something like this would work. I haven't tested it though.

What was their excuse this time? ?

Those production numbers s/x can be misleading without context. The line for the S and X was shut down for many months as they transitioned to the refreshed models. Like Rivian, they would have sold many more if they could have built them. Demand wasn't the issue. For example, if you order an X...

I'm not so sure about that. It's hard to see how user error would account for this level of extreme consumption. Like you said, maybe the AC running all the time but that seems pretty unlikely. If this was an isolated report that would be one thing but there do seem to be a number of users with...

45kwh*$138=$6210. That's for the additional cells needed for the Max Pack using a very high per kWh estimate. The cells represent approximately 82% of the final manufactured pack cost. .82x=6210. X=$7573. That's the estimate for final pack cost including labor and materials, etc.

Rivian doesn't buy turnkey battery packs. They make their own. If you read the link I posted, you'll see that the cell price estimate does take into account demand and raw material costs increases. Cell price represents approximately 82% of final pack price. So even using the highest projected...

Analysts estimate the current price of automotive grade li-ion cells is $128 per kilowatt-hour which is why I said $5-6k. Even with the increase in raw materials costs, the peak price for next year is estimated at $138 per kilowatt-hour.

She's not heavy, just big boned.

Where did you read that the Max Pack completed EPA testing? Maybe my Google-fu is weak but I can't find that anywhere. The Large Pack has been tested but I don't think the Max Pack has been.

That stinks. Putting a hand or elbow on the roof shouldn't get even close to cracking it. There were plenty of people in the other thread about the roof cracking arguing that sitting on it is excessive and could cause damage but I don't see how your situation is reasonable. I've leaned on the...

1. Whut? Says who? The margin for the Max Pack is likely higher not lower. Adding 45kw of cells is an incremental cost increase. The cells should be around 5-6k. They charge $10k. Seems like a decent margin to me. 2. We're talking a $90k luxury 800hp ev truck. It's something people want. Need is...

Check the Condor XL. It's almost as big. Guy on Reddit posted about it on his R1T. Roofnest said the overhang was fine.

That's a pretty good reason. On top of that, I've got this huge pile of money I'd like to hand over to Rivian but they're not getting it until they produce the Max Pack. There are probably 15k other people like me. If they wait too long, that pile of money might end up with Tesla for a long...

Would it kill Rivian to offer some sort of update on the Max Pack? There hasn't been a peep in years. Anything to let us know they're still working on it would be great. It would be nice to hear it's in testing with the EPA for final range numbers or some details on how it changes payload...

They're really, really hard to get off. You basically need a razor blade. Oh well, play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

That is heartbreaking. I know it’s hard to tell from just reading the forum but it really seems like Rivian is going the wrong way with build quality. The service centers are getting overloaded with all the repairs needed on brand new vehicles. Just image how bad getting service will be if they...

If only there was a glovebox in the Rivian. Sounds handy.;)
