pure speculation, but in the video she mentions she can’t wait to get her Rivian vehicle. Maybe this is something you get after confirming your order? Wouldn’t be surprised if they prioritize delivery to a few influencers. Of course this assumes she’s been contacted by a guide ?

Vehicles could be pre-built prior to confirmation with a guide. They could be building production vehicles right now.

Thanks for the clarification! I thought it was the same with trademarks, but alas I am an engineer, not an attorney, nor do I play one on tv :)

With patents and trademarks it’s not always what the company that holds it want to do with it, but more so what they want to prevent others from doing with it.

This is true, however there aren’t all that many other places to go for chips should one of the manufacturers get fed up with their chip supply. Supply chains have gotten so complex and dependent with JIT manufacturing that even missing 5% of chips in a shipment could mean the production line is...

It will likely be popular colors first. Automotive assembly line production schedules are generally scheduled around the paint booth where they bulk process cars of the same color to prevent having to purge the booth frequently and blow thru pricey paint for nothing.

Didn’t say it would, just said it may. As you produce vehicles, you identify areas where changes can be made to the current process to increase throughput. Those generally take some time to incorporate and LE and non-LE is a natural breakpoint. There has also been speculation on this forum that...

Not necessarily. There will be people canceling their reservations and there may be changes between the LE and non-LE vehicles that require changes to the manufacturing process. So you may see delivery of all LE vehicles, a month or two for production “retooling” and then beginning delivery of...

Seems like an extremely narrow definition of mass produce. Rather than identify a specific number, it’s a soliloquy about how producing en masse is difficult and only GM can do it because they’ve done it with non BEV vehicles. By his unnamed metric, I’m not sure he considers Tesla’s being mass...

Looked like 54 kW
