What year do some of y'all think it is? Why is it a surprise to you that a luxury EV in 2021 would have an optional subscription with additional features? BMW, Tesla, and soooo many more have been doing this for years. The good news is you get to enjoy it for a year for free! And then you can...
1) We should definitely confirm that with her. It would be odd to me that this would be the case. Rivian hasn't announced this themselves (not like they need to; privacy is important and owners are just normal people), the app isn't released yet, and I would find it odd that someone so connected...
Right, but I think that person is an employee — not the customer who got the vehicle. Presumably...
I think the most likely thing is that the OP confused "production vehicles are ready for customers and complete" with "first delivery has taken place."
Where is RivianMom!? Someone ask her! haha
I'm a little confused by this actually! Does this mean that RivianMom (who I know was at the Normal preview event) got this truck and is just waiting for it to arrive in her driveway? Is she saying someone else got it / confusing the production rollout from earlier this week?
Oh hey friend! They call me... mr... rational? haha Idk, love being balanced and reasonable. Always happy to call out the bad (cough launch green comms cough), but we always need to keep the bigger picture in mind :)
Okay so only ~70 more to sell so that Rivian can earn its "1 truck delivered per billion of IPO" from Elon! /s
Seriously though, this is so incredible. First EV pickup to market. Done. Settled. No more arguing with Cybertruck people about who will do it first. Now onto the argument about why it...
A production vehicle rolling off the lot in mid-September is incredible reassuring to see. There will always be naysayers around, but omg this is so rad. Who cares who it goes to? It exists. Who cares you can't see other trucks there? We know there are more — and this is a factory lol; they're...
If I hadddd to guess, I'd assume that the test drives are starting in Normal at the end of September. And I bet you they'll do some sort of big announcement about delivering their first trucks to owners there before "kicking the tour off" and heading across the US. I bet we won't see test drives...
Cross posting from r/Rivian:
My USAA quote for launch edition is almost double my 2016 4Runner, from $104 to $195. Not particularly surprised. Curious to see what Rivian can offer.
Sorry if I missed this across all the other replies, but do we know if the off-road upgrade was on these vehicles during testing? If not, how much of a hit should we expect range wise?
