Compass Yellow finally gets due respect! It's nice to see such a happy charge port door.

As with Tesla we can see new battery tech can be daunting both in form factor and chemistry. It seems likely Rivian (and Samsung) will use proven tech and just get on with it for production. There are some brilliant people both collaboratively and competitively working on both solid state and...

I didn't realize the Bronco was so big. The almost corner markers are a giveaway for the full sized Bronco. The markers are an interesting choice for styling but not really on the corners and just more aero drag. I bet it's pretty good off road as they were chasing the Wrangler. The Rivian just...

As is typical with vehicles there is a low trailing pressure zone. The back of a cow has a distinct advantage being naturally aspirated high pressure. Not a fair comparison.

Brrr, Surfing in Alaska?

The notoriety of being an early adopter ("Hey what is that?") A better view ahead from sitting higher. More justification for the solar on the roof of my home. Off road prowess. On road prowess. A more comfortable ride. New tech to learn and apply. Freedom from hydrocarbons. Convincing my wife...

150,000 per year, figure 5 day work weeks that's about 750 per day. At 50% start up with a 3 month trial ramp to capacity allowing for 375 per day to work out the production that's still 22,500 this year. There was no mention of how many of the 48k reservations were LE's. If that number is 60%...

It is nice to hear a take from someone without off road experience and a different mindset. I do love the Compass Yellow hitting lightspeed at 13:48, I expected no less.

The obvious solution is to make a trailer with an integral battery in the floor. Tow 1000 miles if you like then. Of course there might be a slight weight penalty decreasing the available volume of the towed trailer. Forget the slideouts, give me an inflatable like the Bigelow for the ISS and...

Pay up or this could be your truck:swear:. We are the evil Rivian masters of the universe, just give us direct access to your bank account... Really, there must be future short sellers here trying to stir up controversy. Added features mean added to the remarkable features which already out...

My leaky confirmation bias bucket has been filled. As to the audio system my tinnitus renders the high end aspect moot. The end of 22 is longer than I want to wait... tomorrow is longer than I want to wait. I'm not so wild about TFL getting their hands on one, they seem to be embedded with the...

Can ya say binge... I know ya can.

"Side mirrors project the Rivian logo on the ground." Nice attention to detail. The child locks on my car are right at eye level and easily accessible to inquisitive and deft little hands. The difficulty of engaging/disengaging the locks on the Rivian with a water tight seal is a great idea. The...

My humor must be a little dry for some...

Ideally the provider should be StarLink to account for the times there is no cell tower anywhere on the horizon while out in the bush or dunes or forest or metal detecting old mining towns... Oh yeah that's a competitors product. I wonder if the European versions will be unlocked to allow for...

I'm grateful that Rivian has designated the wall in the installation instructions, I might have tried to float the charger in the air without the specific nomenclature to define a surface for attachment. I am admittedly a little slow.

Anyone else notice the ncc1701 above the Yellow truck. They're out there ready to reveal themselves at the first delivery. Beam me up Scotty...

One step closer. A great bit of news. I don't much care for the 100 delivered for the month of September though, 100 per day aggregate would be better, ahh much better. Congratulations to RJ and all the Rivian team for the monumental accomplishment.
