Here's a quick analysis of weekly deliveries from the "add yours" delivery thread. While the self reported numbers may not be representative, the ramp in reported deliveries in March looked good, fell off during April and once again appears to be picking up. Hopefully Rivian's end of quarter...

I looked at and drove the Ioniq 5 thinking I might buy one while waiting on my R1S pre-order. For me two things stood out as advantages of the R1S -- size & range. Seven seats is a plus for me and range over 300mi with AWD is a must.The Ioniq 5, as nice and replete with tech as it was, didn't...

Apparently, Lucid makes a great Mothers Day gift. Who knew?

Saw this image of OC doors in production this morning in an article from Barron's. Has it been posted here before? It seems familiar. Perhaps it's a new use of an older image? The Barron's article is behind a paywall. I was able to read the article in the Apple's Stocks and News apps. Apple's...

Currently I have Limestone/BM configured.

I’ve been going back and forth with these color combinations for my LE R1S (ordered 11/11/2020, July-Sept delivery atm). I’d be happy with any of these combinations. Which would you choose to go with 22” Sport Brights?

I've had good luck with windshield mounts from Ram Mounts in other vehicles. Not elegant but sturdy. https://www.rammount.com

Quick analysis of deliveries by week.

Looking at the Model S/X numbers leads me to conclude that leasing could be part of Rivian's answer. Perpetual cash flow that isn't tied directly to the pre-order selling price. Disclaimer: I've never leased a vehicle so I definitely don't know what I'm talking about.

100% Before this week Rivian's brand was arguably their most valuable asset. Rivian isn't good at building cars...yet. They aren't vertically integrated...yet. They don't offer the cars most customers want to buy...yet. But they were well on their way to establishing a great brand. They...

I'm all for allowing both Rivian's and third party solutions. Adding support for CarPlay/Android Auto in addition to Rivian's own solution seems feasible. Most other manufacturers follow this model. There are some areas, for example off road, where Rivian's solution may well be superior and be...

It's hubris to think that Rivian can, out of the gate, create a better experience than Android Auto or Apple's CarPlay. It's the same sort of hubris that led the leadership team to believe they could raise prices on existing orders and that there would be no pushback. I'd like to think they've...

No doubt Amazon has a contract with Rivian for their vehicles with negotiated delivery and price schedules. Rivian can and have changed retail customers' price and delivery schedules. I doubt very much that they have that flexibility with Amazon. We can all wish that Amazon would take the...

Does anyone know if any of these trucks been delivered to customers yet?

The gov't website doesn't mention a sunset provision for the current rebate. It does show the phase out for GM and Tesla vehicles. The R1T is listed but not the R1S yet. https://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/taxevb.shtml

Regarding the R1T vs. R1S responses… At present there are 238 R1T responses in the survey with dates other than [earlier, later] to 177 R1S orders. This amounts to roughly a 60/40 split.

I guess that depends on whether you were able to and decided to participate in the IPO. ?

...and closed at $100.73.
