Good enough, I’d just really like lockers. At least we know the in house motors are a great design, maybe they’ll do something like Tesla and have a front locker plus dual rear motors without, that’s still much better than no locker at all like they currently have. Plus that would give an easy...

If they want to expand use case to more customers, an lfp pack (100% daily charge isn’t as bad) extended bed r1t would be fantastic. Heck, an extended wheelbase r1s as well, it’s such a short suv, they could easily extend before and after the rear wheel well like a Range Rover and still have...

Sorry to dig up an old thread, any new info on this? I’d love to see 800-1000hp dual motors with lockers, so you would gain both efficiency, less weight, much better crawling performance, and the only letdown would be high speed torque vectoring and loss of the tank turn which was never rolled...

Not upset at rivian, because they honored all preorder holders pricing. Tesla DID accounts pricing on dual and tri motor, regardless of what spin you put on the name, they have now released the dual and tri motor models and they are currently $50k more than when I placed my preorder. Trimotor...

Thanks, that’s on the radar. At this point I’m still considering keeping my massively depreciated m3 long range as a daily and buying a jeep rubicon or canyon at4x or something as an adventure vehicle until ev batteries mature a bit more and chargers are ubiquitous like gas stations. Was hoping...

I was an early rivian res holder who decided to wait for the cybertruck. Now after 4 years, this is a double slap in the face. I finally got the email to order, and they have increased the cyberbeast price to $119,990. I feel really let down, and will likely end up with a quad motor rivian instead.

Considering selling my preorder, oct 2019 slot LE. Not sure what it’s worth, pm me if interested, I’m thinking of just grabbing a model 3 instead of waiting.

Did you miss the window? They were offering the $35k cars for awhile, but you had to special request one, like an off the menu item. Now they’ve increased prices across the board, but I almost placed an order for one, regretting not doing so while I had the chance.

Why wouldn't Tesla (who's been around for a decade and has developed and refined all their own tech, including inverters and motors, all of it proven reliable) be able to build a 3 motor truck for the same price as Rivian is charging for a 4 motor truck, when Rivian also has to pay a supplier...

Yes. Seems like release candidate vehicles, good enough to use for test drive events and give to employees who get a discount and will likely sign an nda to only post about cool features, not issues. I’m excited to see the full production ramp, and delivery of thousands of vehicles.

From looking at the ig posts from all the vehicles we’ve seen, ALL appear to be posting as if following some rivian social media guidelines but not actually admitting anywhere to being employees. It all feels like a big charade to prove deliveries, when no deliveries to the general public have...

The leather on the photo I posted looks terrible. Funny, it does look smoother on the lighter interior you posted, and the bottom spoke also looks better in that other color. I stand by the statement on leather quality, the one I posted looks almost as bad as molded plastic leather lookalike...

Initially they had come close, with the concept car. This was at the mill valley event in 2019… and then the screenshot from their current steering wheel. The airbag went from luxury to Ford F-150. The steering wheel spokes and leather quality on the wheel is just atrocious, I’m hoping that’s...

Very interested in this actually. You could put together a VERY stout underbody package and tow hooks for the price of that package, hope its THICK aluminum panels or something. Expecting the aftermarket to come up with some solutions plus more (rock sliders) in the next several years as...

This is what I’m worried about. Currently the LE plus off-road package is $1,000 over the tax limit, I really want that package but if a $2,000 package costs me $9,500 it’s not worth it. But at least we can get floor mats and a spare tire ?, who needs skid plates and tow hooks anyways.

I don't appreciate it being GPS locked. Bad drivers will be bad drivers, but it would drive me crazy not being able to use the tank turn on my own property, or turn off stability control, or whatever, due to some predefined arbitrary geo fence. Just a warning that pops up every time you enable...

Given the point of my thread was the electric jeep, but I did comment on the use of stock 20's. He keeps saying "keep in mind this is a factory vehicle, but its a $70k plus factory bronco, so you could buy a defender for 10-20k less and put 35's and a lift on it. Buy the car for the usage you...

Hmm, I'm actually rather impressed with it. Getting 27 miles on road with a battery phev system designed mostly to get a federal rebate and hit mpg targets, covers most peoples daily driving. I drive 9 miles each way, so with 27 total miles I would have a 10 mile buffer and do all my daily...

This is what I expect in the real world. 50 miles of trail driving at crawling speeds will probably kill the 300 mile r1t pack, but then again that is a HUGE distance to cover off-road, and most people won't do more than 10-20 miles so losing 100 mile of highway range is ok so long as there is a...

Ahhh that’s more like it.
