If I took a drink every time I heard the word “soon”, I’d be in line for a liver transplant! Are those supply constrained as well? ?

We should start a drinking game…. ?

The fanboi’s will say they haven’t “promised” us anything. Because, you know, we never pinky-sweared on it, or they had their fingers crossed, or they put some fine print disclaimer somewhere. ?

Man, I hope Rivian doesn’t do all of this up charging for various “services”. I’m probably just spoiled since I bought my Tesla in 2015 before they started doing all of that. I have the equivalent of enhanced autopilot (which is all I really need - no interest in FSD), all OTA updates, music...

“Given all the bitching positive comments from customers about the removable roof panels, we’ve listened to your feedback and made the side window glass removable. Permanently. By us. One global supply chain issue fixed. 10,000 more to go!”

We’ll have to agree to disagree. And either I misread your original post, or you misread mine response. My statement was in regards to the free market being allowed to operate unfettered by regulation. Your response seems to be about government actually running things vs regulating them. I...

There’s a big difference between socialism and regulation. But the current herd mentality of certain people doesn’t allow for free and independent thought. Everything requires a negative label and no real thought. It’s a sad place our country has gotten to with self serving politicians (on...

I believe it was reported a couple of months ago that a CS rep told another member that the formulation for Launch Green was still not locked in yet.

Because private industry in capitalists societies has proven consistently that profit for themselves takes precedence over “the greater good”. Private industry will, and has proven this over time, knowingly destroy the environment if they personally can profit from it. That’s why we have...

Don’t forget Bitcoin mining!

The delusion continues… Which production vehicle or test mule are you referring to here? Present tense? Really?

I’ll just hold onto what I have. I was planning to trade the Tesla on the Rivian, but may just go ahead and sell that outright now since it don’t drive it much in the winter and I’m likely looking at Q1 next year for the R1T LE vs. this fall. I’ll keep the 4Runner until I get the Rivian since...

It’ll be a game time decision for me, all based on timing. I don’t really want max pack, but in the near term I may need it to avoid an hour detour on a very common trip I take. So at the time a guide finally contacts me to lock in my config, I’ll assess the delivery time difference between LE...

How do we know that Amazon vans aren’t delayed? Yeah, there are some beginning to be seen on the roads, but there seem to be as many, if not more, R1T and R1S test mules on the road. It’s not like there are thousands (or even hundreds) of Rivian vans in the wild yet. For the Rivian vans...

Nice pun! Intended or not.

I would have preferred an option for “I am OK with the delays, but if comms don’t improve I will likely cancel”. Comms is 100% in Rivian’s control and something that it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to fix. The past 6 months have been a huge disappointment in that regard. Hopefully their...

Pretending that Rivian is immune to the supply chain issues stymying every other manufacturer is equally misguided. Yeah, they might also have issues with the line, delivery/service readiness, or other things more in their control, but it’s not unimaginable that supply chain is at least a...

I’m not saying they should be. Just saying that given Rivian’s obvious culture to protect information, this will likely not be viewed very favorably by the leadership there. Pure speculation on my part though.

Several folks across various threads have indicated they are cancelling. Not a mass exodus by any means, but it is starting to push some people to that point.

My gut says that guide may be getting the ax!
