They actually have never said where that ~45% is, or if it's a specific range or if it applies to a broad range of 45% increments. For all we know it could be every 45% increment from 0%-80%. But typically, the fastest charging doesn't start from 0%, and starting from 0% doesn't happen much in...

Yes, but to be specific, he's saying it amounts to 80% of CT's total reservation deposits, because 8% of reservations but 10x the required deposit amount. IF this data were accurate, it would imply 96,000 reservations for Rivian total (R1T and R1S, no way to ascertain the mix).

Yes, that's right. I should specify, in my car and I'm sure others, it has to sense the key within proximity for it to release the cable. I'd want it to work that way, even if I left the vehicle unlocked for whatever reason.

I can only speak to my experience with the Audi, and it's extremely accurate and the little bit it is sometimes off, it's usually conservative which is good. I would say on average if it gives me a range estimate of 175mi, the actual range I'll get is within 173-180 without fail. Of course, the...

Looks like all the hard work is out of the way though, should be easy enough to drop the chargers in and you're done. Also nice that it looks like it will be set up well for towing, you could pull up horizontally on the backside and use one of the chargers without blocking any of the...

God, I hope not. There should be a button you can press on the exterior to end the charge and release the plug. That would be a seriously annoying miss. If so, I'd at least hope the app has a stop charge button, which I assume it does for other reasons.

Rivian has already basically told us what that will look like. If it peaks at 190kw at 35%, it will follow any number of routes to 80% such that the average is around 175kw (140 mi in 20 minutes). But, if the peak is only 190kw and we know the average is 175kw, then that means it's a relatively...

I think you are mis-reading the 56% comment. What they are saying is that the total projected range for that trip was 175 miles, or 56% of the original 314 EPA range, meaning the totality of all conditions present for the trip amounted to a 44% reduction in range (towing being primary). They...

They charged close to 100% and showed about 300mi in AP mode. They changed it to towing mode, and it dropped to some number under 200 (they don't say exactly). However, that number is going to be a guess based on some input Rivian put in the software based on general impacts of towing. After...

I never said it wasn't a seat, I said it is rarely used, so I can understand not trying to design for it like just about every other manufacturer. The Tacoma middle seat is even more rarely used due to being narrower, but the F150 is more often used because it's wider and many are used to carry...

The middle seat is no man's land, and if you find yourself sitting there it's likely for punishment and therefore having to clutch your scalding hot coffee in ungloved hands is also par for the course.

I was referring to the official communication that was sent to all dealers and leaked, which made it seem like a lottery with no definitive way to establish expectations. Dealers themselves have told customers they have no idea when they should expect to receive their truck.

This is a fun comparison: R1T towing 9k lbs: Instrumented testing revealed the truck was still able to accelerate to 60 mph from a stop in 7.5 seconds Tacoma 0-60: 7.7 seconds.

This will be the last post on cupholder-gate, but you make no sense. The transmission has nothing to do with cupholders. If you have a drink in an unsealed cup, it needs a place to be stored securely. The only difference is that in a manual, you have to wait until you are at a stop or cruising...

Since when did CT triple to 3m??? According to that graph, they plateaued six months ago and the answer is never. They had 1.3m as of late November.

If they undercut Rivian by that much, obviously they aren't competing products and I'd ask myself where that money went. By the time Toyota brings it to market, Rivian could very well have a cheaper two motor version that will be more comparable but still more expensive. Toyota will still be the...

I wouldn't get too caught up in comparing rates. Rivian is just a conduit to Chase, and so the rates they offer aren't likely any different than you can find on Chase's website right now. Typically, CU's offer slightly better rates, but even 0.50% better only amounts to $10/mo on $50k for 5...

They just had a teenager make renders of slightly modified versions of existing/previous models, and gave the proverbial "we'll have XXX EV models out by 2067 quote". Notice there was no mention of them developing platforms, or specs, or anything substantive. It was just a "hey don't forget...

How do you value a reservation that has no determinable date upon which it will yield a vehicle? Doesn't a Lightning reservation mean you could take delivery anytime between Spring/Summer 2022 and sometime in 2024? Also, as I understand it, reservations are also tied to your local dealer, so the...

Magnificent work Barclays. Can you also sift through your high frequency trading data to tell me what the S&P closed at yesterday?
