The biggest driver is the announced starting prices. CT and Ford had $40k starting prices, and the meat of the population bell curve lives in that $40-$60k price range that Rivian isn't capturing. They still wouldn't have had the recognition, but if the R1T started at $40k, they would have...

Yeah, I took it as him saying, they beat it up so much the tires blew out. As in, that rarely happens with press vehicles. Either way, he's just commenting about other people's experience that we've all seen for ourselves. Just like you, I rest assured that a vehicle designed to be an off...

I'm not sure, but actually took away that he is impressed with what he's seen so far and he's generally in the camp of the EV startups are going to wipe the floor with the legacy OEMs. He's pretty negative about the entire makeup of the legacy automakers. That Bloomberg headline and article in...

I think you're only looking at it through the lens of your own perspective and needs. Almost by definition, everyone who has taken delivery has received all of the information they needed, and no one is being forcefully delivered a vehicle despite objections. I'm sure @Iwantatesla can affirm to...

How many cupholders does the Plaid have again?? It has four, exactly the number it should have. The entire European automotive industry has a blatant and fierce disdain for cupholders and those that use them, and they are doing just fine. They intentionally design the few they do provide to make...

I for one am glad if those that wanted 20 cupholders to claim the heavyweight belt never become fellow Rivian owners. This is a truck (some would still debate that), not a glorified minivan. Let's at least hold off on the cupholder debate until the R1S is out, and even then if you want a...

I imagine they will expand the offering as they mature, like the removable roof option which is going the opposite direction. Right now they need to keep production as simple as possible.

I found this to be a useful video providing a glimpse into the economics of installing a station from a provider's perspective.

Perhaps, but for all we know, the majority of the investment into L2 Chargers will be grants/subsidies for apartment/condo/landlords to install them. That will have a MASSIVE effect on adoption, because those are the hardest converts right now. It's far more efficient to invest in a home...

The impact to range is fairly inconsequential. Other than un-sprung weight (like wheels), adding 100 pounds for a glass roof would only impact range on a vehicle already this heavy by about 1 or 2 miles. According to the EPA, for every 10% addition in weight, efficiency drops by about 4%...

Well, I guess it could change but it's highly unlikely if they just put it in the S1 for investors. The estimate part relies on what percentage of owners you think will elect for it, I don't think they estimated what the cost would be (because they are in control of setting it). I'd say it's a...

From the S1 in the IPO.

Well, it's free for the first year, and then it's $550/year after that for the Membership which includes the data among other things. There has been no indication that you can piecemeal the data or anything else from the Membership separately. I would expect it to be unlimited data if there is...

I'll save you from having to. The only valuable information is that Sandy is getting/already has an R1T to do a full tear down, so we should probably see something relatively soon on that. Depending on how long it takes to do a tear down and produce the video.

Just GM putting their fingers on the scale per usual :rolleyes:

MT didn't test on the 22's, which is what gets ~3.0. No idea what they tested the Hummer on. Also, it really doesn't matter.

Being critical of someone not delivering you something they never said they would is crazy. You have every right to not like it, and feel that it doesn't live up to your expectations. But be classy about it and just go your own way. It's like waiting for your prom date at the bottom of the...

I don't think there will be fine print providing an out if you exclusively use DCFC. I think the expectations should be that if you exclusively used DCFC, you might approach that 70% number, whereas if you rarely used it I'd expect to still have over 90% of original capacity over that time/use...
