Right? At this point we've got real photos of most colors out and about in the world, both promotional and from people catching a glimpse of a test vehicle... how is it possible that the most simple paint scheme (primer with clear coat?) isn't running around anywhere?! I'm currently configured...

Agree, and I quite like the look of the tow hooks!

Awesome news that gm announced a 400 mile electric Silverado, thats huge news and puts dodge/ram/jeep and ford on notice. Sure, the rumble of a v8 is cool sometimes, and the sound of a turbo building boost and feeling the rush of power can be exciting, but around town and considering pure power...

Given that these are simply pre-orders, all that can change. The only color you can get with the first edition is white, so at least Rivian is giving us options in that regard, even if we only have bad renderings for some colors at this time. Rivian was also running around showing off...

I wasn’t able to find a thread I. A quick glance, but has anyone talked with rivian about the steering wheel? Is that the final production spec? The previously listed wheel looks very high class to me, like a Porsche/Range Rover wheel, and I love it. The thin bottom spokes, the different...

Pretty sure he’s referencing getting charge blocked by a Tesla model 3 (m3), not iced by a bmw m3. Both vehicles of which I approve, and great drivers cars, but hoping the rivian drives great on road and fantastic off-road.

The HUGE issue I have with the f150 hybrid, is its even more of a copout than the original Prius was. What could have been amazing as an 18kwh+ plug in hybrid, instead can't go but a football field on electric because of the sub 2kwh battery. The new jeep 4xe powertrain would go great in an...

There is one vehicle, missing from your list, better than all the above at adventure. It's also only $45k after incentives, give or take. The Jeep Wrangler rubicon 4xe, which has 25-30 miles of EV range, plenty of power, and solid axles with fox shocks that will leave any of the aforementioned...

Here’s full compression and full droop, I grabbed screenshots when I first saw the video. Looks decent for independent suspension on a street vehicle, however it’s about half the articulation you get with a solid axle vehicle like the jeep, power wagon, etc. should be “good enough” for most...

Gotta be a sensor there, just like for the doors, trunk, frunk etc. of course they could ad an override acknowledgment in software. Current cars also allow you to drive while the doors are open, but protest loudly while doing so.

To start off with, 35kwh of extra capacity makes a huge difference. ?

1. Thats the white prototype r1s, everything subject to change in final version. 2. The rear seats are between the wheel wells. No spare room. 3. Yes, everything does look pretty thick, could be caused by prototype, could be how they designed it for structure and safety.

The cold and the go pedal both affect range quite a bit, but I wonder how well the Rivian battery heating system will do in extreme cold efficiency vs the Tesla system. I can't wait to see the results of the cold weather testing!

I'd imagine comfort valve refers to something affecting the hydraulic damping system we have heard about, but have non concrete information on yet. Besides the air bags in the suspension, they are using some sort of hydraulic system as well. I'm hoping they have a mode for rock crawling that...

My biggest issue with all the videos we have seen at lower speed, in low grip situations, is maintaining wheel speed synchronization ( like a locked center diff and locked front and rear axles gives you) which is essential for keeping momentum. When a fully locked 4x4 lifts tires in the air, the...

Anyways, the downhill video looks promising in terms of wheel control, the uphill video looked pretty bumpy and I would have liked seeing them try to crawl it vs using momentum. A surprising amount of vehicles can make it up a hill using momentum, it slow speed technical crawling is a whole...

Well its got 35kwh more than the model x and weights just a bit more, so I'm thinking real world we probably do see around 300 miles in moderate temps with steady state cruising at the speed limit.

While we still have inadequate charging infrasturcture and slow charging speeds (relatively to Dino juice), the same could also be said for BEV when taking a 1000+ mile road trip. On a long trip a HUGE battery is a plus but you're still at the mercy of fast chargers, and on a daily basis you are...

If you don’t need a truck, you’re much better off buying the Tesla. Charging network, range, autonomous driving, and the new base model s seems to have upgraded power, it will probably be even with the rivian in acceleration. Biggest difference being it’s a car vs a truck. That’s why I don’t...

This is the best list of potential reasons I'd cancel or postpone. Considering I've got a launch edition, theres potentially only a few months left to decide.
