Whatever battery they were extrapolating from… is it confirmed they were talking about the “300 mile” battery and not the “400 mile” pack? Of course the Rebelle is a moderate speed course, maintaining momentum and rolling on a flat terrain, regardless of dirt or asphalt, is definitely more...

There is a prominent YouTube truck channel that does pretty decent real world reviews, that many of you may be familiar with. They recently got a new lr defender, new bronco, and the 4xe plug-in jeep rubicon on a decent off-road trail. The jeep got 27 miles in their on-road range test, and 3...

It's one thing when Ford says " we have 10,000 f150's sitting in a lot waiting for computers". Rivian is apparently still testing vehicles, the month when they promised the first deliveries, we still haven't seen the production UI, barely been teased by the production interior, don't know the...

Makes sense to me. If they have a contract with Amazon to deliver xx number of vans by a certain date, they can put off other customer deliveries (none of which have a defined “must deliver by” date set yet) and use all their resources to push out Amazon vans while they also serve as quality...

"So this week we're showcasing our mostly ROUND steering wheel. WOW. Much amaze. So out there. It has an airbag. Probably several buttons. They do stuff. We can't tell you what they do because...... anyways have a great week and be super excited we may ship a few vehicles before the end of the year"

Next tweet by RJ/Rivian “hey guys, so we delivered our first vehicle. Congrats to myself on taking delivery of this fine automobile. Now we will continue parading them around and teasing you with photos and no concrete answers to any pertinent questions actual preorder holders may have”

I like Tesla. I like Rivian. I like lucid. I like Porsche. I like high tech and fast cars and trucks of all kinds. What gets me is Tesla is constantly pushing the envelope and improving things. Rivian has spent so long getting to production, I feel like their inverter/motor tech is already...

Yeah, they had the “exterior reveal” 2 weeks ago now (big surprise, we’ve seen them running around everywhere) but quiet on the interior. Hopefully we haven’t gone from “Bentley” to “rental f150”

Tesla build quality has improved dramatically in recent years, to the point that it’s basically on par with the big 3 at this point. For RELIABILITY, not build quality, it should be pretty bullletproof, especially compared to Ford, as the Tesla drive systems and electronics have been around and...

Agree, it looks like a “me too” effort by the designers because rivian, hummer, and cybertruck did it, we have to have a full led bar as well! I especially don’t like the rest, it’s so weird how it crosses over but then has almost normal f150 tail lights attached to it.

And yet even still, if launch green is simply the primer and a clear coat, then pure logic dictates that’s the most simple to get first out the gate. There would also be the least chance people would be angry that launch green was first to ship because that way they aren’t “picking sides” of a...

Yeah good point. Recall, that blue was the color of the early prototypes trucks they had running around to show off at events, so initially I was very much drawn to it. Could be random chance that most emails today were to blue/black holders, because that’s just what those guys ordered after...

Totally Totally plausible, but I can get my 45 mile range Chevy volt to display 90 miles range if I roll around at super low speeds and never touch the brakes. Then I can get on the highway and kill the battery in 25 miles at 80mph.

And if I get my cybertruck first, my LE r1t order is likely getting cancelled. I got my ct order in the first minute they were available.

I could see them being worried about releasing info about a delay even if they are expecting it, on the off chance they aren't delayed. Why? Personally, while I've been tempted by the bronco and jeep PHEV, I really want a full electric truck, so I also have a preorder for the cybertruck and...

Aka "we measured in a different spot"

Seems like that post was mostly regurgitated info we already had, and photos/screenshots they had already posted. Now the interior post they do I am very interested in, hope they use new photos so we can see finally what the production steering wheel will look like, controls, switchgear, etc.

Exactly. Theres all these public events that they've been showing up to with vehicles, but rather than doing walk throughs for owners, they're catering to politicians or whoever they are trying to impress. Or producing these flashy little snippet videos that have zero worthwhile info in them...

THIS I could get on board with, absolutely agree. Encourage the aftermarket to engage and get started on awesome accessories. Giving trucks to journalists before delivering them to pre-orders.... nah. Let the journalists test the same vehicles that Rivian will ship around the country to do in...

The fact that the new bronco went from concept to production so quick, and how ford is shipping out test vehicles to demo sites to show the off-road capabilities and making copious videos showing the inside and outside and all specifics of the truck, whereas Rivian still figuring out specifics...
