We were told there would be lidar and full self driving. Now that's not the case. I feel that's nearly a deal breaker for me if the system is any less than Tesla. But I don't see how it could be without better sensors. Rivian doesn't have the years of real world driving to train their self...

It sounds like a strong & positive move. Between Sapphire Reserve & Private Client branches, Chase has been killing it with their higher end banking products. I have a few mortgages with Chase and I'm certainly happy to do business with them.

This is going off Tesla's Market Cap value. And the other companies here look off. Toyota has a 212b Market cap.

As someone that uses my truck for work truck things. This is a genuine issue for me. I hop in/out of my Tundra bed at least 6-7 times on days I'm driving that. Its hard already on the Tundra and I'm well over 6ft. The gear tunnel door as a step might be a solution. It does appear to be low...

Never realized this. Hnnn, that's a head scratcher. Made sense with the 180 degree tailgate but now that seems like a serious oversight. This got me kind of rethinking the R1T all of the sudden :confused:

So the camp kitchen I ordered, that's locked in now?

Nice. Not sure how that would look on the green interior though. If it makes production I might switch from green to black for those accents.

Weight is a big factor right? Forged wheels are typically lighter than alloys and the extra rubber in the taller side walls should weigh a good bit less than the extra weight of the 2" larger alloy rims.

#2918 - R1T 12/1/18

I recently put 20's on my Tundra and wish I had stuck with 18's. Big difference in ride quality IMO. I wonder why Rivian decided 20 would be their smallest wheel.

Personally, I'd avoid the 21" just because of how hard it will be to get replacements in that size. I've had too many headaches with the i3's weird tire sizes. Can't get the tires anywhere but the dealer and even the ones in SoCal don't always stock them. I've had two flat tires over the years...

I think its too early for me to know which wheel I want (Just saw the Pirelli post). Knowing exactly what tire it will be and what the range / speed tradeoffs will be for each is critical. But I would think changing wheel configuration would be ok up to pretty close to your truck going into...

Depends how it works. I don't want to have to do anything like press buttons or use an app and wait for it to lower. I've seen features like that on other vehicles and its slow. My power running boards extend the second I unlock or open the door on the Tundra. And they're back in within seconds...

Seems like the window glass held up better than the Cyber Truck did

Just updated my order. Added the kitchen sink because.... why not.

Power running boards are a must have for me. I'm sure someone will make them aftermarket if Rivian doesn't. Would 100% prefer buying from the factory though. I'm 6' 5" and don't need them, but all of my shorty friends do when getting in my Tundra.

This even effects BMW's i3. You'd think if anyone had it figured out it would be BMW. Nope. Minor repairs at service take a week when otherwise it should take a day on a traditional car. It's due to limited EV tech training and parts availability. Had my i3 waiting 6 weeks for back ordered...

Don't count on it. That's not how tech companies work. They'll ship first and debug later. Us reservation holders are going to be the guinea pigs and beta testers. And absolutely no one will cancel their pre-orders because of it. That's just not how products are sold nowadays. It's sad but don't...

Well, that's just unrealistic for first few years. That's 480 vehicles a week. That's 3 vehicles an hour if the factory is running non-stop. I can't imagine it will be anywhere close to that in year one. The Model S did 17,000 vehicles in 2014 and only 25k in 2015. That's two years after 2012...

The more I see things like the less and less I'm convinced I'll ever see the R1T I pre-ordered. Rivian is just going in so many directions right now instead of focusing on actually producing a product. Its all promises at this point. Release news on concrete steps. Ie, ...we made 5 more...
