Actually, I think it’s safe to say Elon is probably only in it for the money. He isn’t exactly known for his philanthropy or kindness. I think this thread would have a much more positive tone if Elon didn’t run Tesla. He is rather polarizing. If the thread were titled “Ford saves Rivian” I...

Four Rivians?!? Are you trying to collect all the colors or what?

Um, are you okay? Seriously. Peace.

It’s hard to answer about posts we cannot see but I think a lot of us are here to escape negativity and talk about some cool EVs. X is a good place to go if you’re looking for negativity. (Which is so ironic given Elon is sort of an EV guy trapped inside a very dark mind.) Rivianforums is...

I want.

I don’t get the pessimism. The anti-EV hysteria is disconcerting as is the slowing of the EV market growth rate. Yet while tides go out they also come back in. Rivian remains a start up and, thus, there’s some inherent risk in buying the stock or the vehicles. However…. - markets change. Gas...

I have to say, KRo’s Rivian Blue R1T looks good even after getting smashed up. I’m sorry this happened and am glad no one was hurt. Like others, I appreciate your level headedness. (I’d be pretty upset.)

What’s “SOP”? I mean, I know but I’m asking for any readers who might not. If all vehicles had the same battery and were only software limited, the lower range ones would be incredible because they wouldn’t face nearly as much range degradation over time. No?

Looks like it depends upon whose expectations one is comparing the actuals to. https://electrek.co/2024/04/02/rivians-q1-deliveries-flat-ev-maker-preps-plant-shutdown/

I’m missing something. Doesn’t this indicate the continuation of the Quad? Or do people view its inclusion as a fake out since a Tri is added? It does seem like too many choices. Of course I have a hard time picking a color.

Now that the vouchers are percentage based, shouldn’t Rivian want voucher holders to buy more expensive vehicles too? Presumably their margins are higher at the more expensive end. They would likely lose less (and may even make a profit) off of voucher buyers. Makes sense they want fewer...

Don’t the tints reduce visibility at dusk? I’ve been wondering about it because I’ve noticed tinted front windows and even windshields seem to have multiplied like crazy in recent years. At the same time, fatalities have increased dramatically at dusk. (Correlation but not necessarily...

Thanks for posting that. If there’s a build up of unfinished product, do we expect a long delay before the “refreshed” (and/or decontented) R1s start to appear in the shop? Maybe they add the missing part(s) to those vehicles simultaneously with the retooling?

Not sure why you suggest I’m throwing a grenade. Just suggesting these are big vehicles and encouraging people to act responsibly. Live and let live—with an emphasis on the “let live” part. Utah is beautiful. (Driving slowly on the left is a problem too and can really make things dangerous.)

+ electrochromic roof option Fun thread already!

I think such folks might be using it wrong then. (When I used one, I was driving too fast though I would probably not have said so at the time.) Duly noted regarding weight, however. I mistakenly used gross instead of curb weight. I did not intend to exaggerate. (No need to do so-the R1 is...

You are a good citizen. It’s a process. I’m still learning too and can easily see myself being a dope about this stuff despite my efforts not to be.

Interesting. I’m wondering if there’s a consensus as to the point that’s “fast enough.” My understanding is that the faster you push energy into the battery, the faster it wears. Is there data that suggests “slower DC fast chargers” could be better long term than faster fast chargers? Maybe...

Okay, I’ll be “that guy.” Please remember that these are 7,100 lb vehicles (not 8,500 lb as I mistakenly posted originally). If you are using radar detectors and laser jammers, you are likely driving far in excess of the speed limit. Please give some thought as to how much you may be...

Yes, interesting. Changing to the voucher makes it easier to apply the price protection to smaller packs but also to refreshed R1s.
