I think that's right. It's not hard to find the next person who wants a Blue truck on 20's with black interior, for example. They may just need to lock it in before shipping it somewhere, but even then the odds are high there is somewhere else in the same location with the same config, but they...

I think the expectation should be about three weeks prior to delivery to start the process. That's about what Lucid has been doing and is plenty to get things in order. I also think everyone should add a few month buffer to their delivery window as a real possibility (it's just as likely to miss...

It's the same people manning it, so every day in SoCal is a day not somewhere new. It was in Sonoma prior to LA, and rumors/gossip was that it might go to AZ or CO next. We'll see. My guess is the original expectation was for a new location every month, but Omicron probably scrapped January and...

It was never planned to continue past something like 12/20 or thereabouts. All of those events are limited to a 2-3 week window and they all move on to the next one.

The probability of one or more employees needed to host events/test drives having COVID or getting COVID is higher right now with Omicron than at any point in the last two years, that's what the case data tells us pretty clearly. That's my point. For further proof, look all around you and you'll...

Ha, yeah I guess they "could", but I'm thinking your socks would be blown off into the next county if you got that kind of proactive communication about delays to an event you didn't even know about yet. (If this was in fact what's going on) In Rivian's mind, there is no need to provide an...

A TRX gets 10/14mpg, a Raptor 15/18. Conversely, people shouldn't expect savings on a Rivian when a bicycle is free to power.

I think you have to consider the COVID environment we are currently in. I think any possible events or test drives that may have been planned are on pause indefinitely. Without knowing when they might be able to resume, there is nothing to communicate yet.

I doubt you'll see the same level of testing of mfr R1S vehicles because it's not needed. It's mostly just an R1T with an enclosed bed. The differences are mostly just interior bits and have nothing to do with driving it really. And I think they haven't finalized the design yet, but won't take...

I'm neither a Tesla "fan" or hater, just giving my opinion. I would think most people using FSD are doing so responsibly, but haven't ever bothered to research, if I even could. Ultimately, it's just an extension of every other driver aid out there, which when not used responsibly is dangerous...

There's nothing stopping selling anything to anyone who is a willing buyer. It's clear that it represents features that are being developed with no specific timeline for them becoming available. It's not the first or the last product or service which created buyer's remorse. I've seen some claim...

Remember, both long and short investors have motive (different reasons) for the price to go down....

Well #2 is blatantly false as we know, so we should stop spreading falsities or else people believe it to be true. They forecasted 1,200 pre-IPO in early November. In mid-December they provided an update that they would miss that by "several hundred". It appears they ultimately came in between...

Yes, as I always say, take a breath and "Zoom Out".

When you take into account that he effectively came out of retirement to join Rivian (according to DuckTruck's personal conversation with him), it's not suspicious in the least. It's entirely conceivable that the plan from the beginning was to bring someone on to shepherd them through a phase...

Date of update minus previous date (# of days), divided by 7.

Below are all of the production updates I'm aware of. Amendment 2 to the S1 had a weird data point that makes me wonder if it was really correcting the number from Amend 1. Either that, or they turned things up to see what would happen. Source As of Date Cumulative # Period Marginal # Weeks...

Why do that when you can control the narrative and not have people publicizing issues that aren't even relevant to the audience because they won't exist on the vehicles that will be delivered to them later? Here's one example, which is just hypothetical, though somewhat rooted in a known issue...

I don't think many are being given to employees to test at any technical level (most employees of the company are not equipped to do so). I think in many cases they are just simply below the standard Rivian wants to provide their third-party customers. If you know that an unacceptably high % of...

For those following along here, these are effectively the same thing. I'm not aware of any other vehicle having a specific "battery precondition" button in the app or in-car, or any more detailed type of application such as "set battery temp to XX degrees". Preconditioning is essentially just...
