Losing 3% on a 135kWh battery is not comparable to losing 2% on a 75kWh battery. If you're comparing the two it would be like the Rivian losing 6% vs the Tesla's 2%.

There is damage to the handle itself, isn't the handle made of metal? Seems like a pretty serious impact on the handle then.

I'm sorry. If it makes you feel better my vehicle delivery estimate for a Large Pack R1S (since max pack is not even possible) is the whole year of 2024 :(

Like the Max Pack Rivians now? :CWL:

I'm not sure how you would call that monstrosity in-line with Tesla's design language. Again I don't think the cheese wedge is good looking either so lol. Yes but you're comparing a highly refined and iterated battery pack with a first iteration structural battery pack. There's room for...

In my opinion most naysayers in this thread don't understand why the Cybertrucks looks the way it looks. Does it look good? That's highly debatable, even I would say a door wedge ain't the prettiest. The manufacturing processes Tesla is employing to create the CT and the non rounded edges look...

Do you have examples of finished products you have brought to market, maybe a website?

I don't even understand the point of this post. Is OP trying to garner sympathy with a bunch of internet people? If so I doubt us signing a change.org petition will change anything. If he's trying to get the attention of someone in Rivian, omitting things like multiple cancellations just makes...

I wonder if you should have a blurb about the headlight tints. Technically they're illegal in many states. Kind of like how knife sellers say you have to be educated on the laws in your own state.

I still don't understand. If somehow you were able to regen full battery and never had to charge from the wall, does that mean you never had a cycle? Regen adds cycles you wouldn't count or be aware of because no one is tracking it.

I mean that was clearly an over exaggeration to demonstrate it since I mentioned earlier it's a "tiny amount per regen event." Cycles add up. We're not even mentioning the 23 years of shelf life degradation 300,000 miles would get from the average number of miles people drive a year.

For standardization of tests they consider a "cycle" a discharge down to a defined percentage and a recharge. If you want to talk purely of full cycles it would be discharging a battery completely and charging it back up. But very few people do that. In the case of regen it is definitely...

This is actually a good thing. Based on the voltage that is a LiFePO4 battery which will last much longer being constantly sitting at full charge in a hot vehicle door than the 21700s in the battery pack.
