But isn’t that what a differential does? It sends almost all power to only one wheel, which is why you don’t tear up your tires when you take sharp corners on a solid surface. It’s true if you lift both wheels off the ground, they should both turn. But that’s just because of the friction...

Ahhh ok that makes sense. The guy didn’t get out of it though. I’m assuming it still works when you’re inside somehow?

Why would they have said no flat towing then? I don’t know enough about the motors used to understand how they work I guess. I’ve read a few conflicting posts in the forum about different types of motors used and whether or not they can be set to freewheel. And I understand there are four...

I went through the car wash earlier today and saw a Model X coming through behind me. It got me thinking: how do they do it? I mean, you’re supposed to put the vehicle in neutral as your front tires hit the conveyor belt. How do EV’s go into neutral? I thought RIVIAN had mentioned flat...

I assumed the R1’s would have this feature so thank you for the info. Every one of my vehicles has had remote start so this has a +1 from me. I’m sure not everyone would utilize this feature of course, but I sure would.

Any chance RIVIAN could offer some exterior color samples to be sent out? That way people could see it in different lighting at home. I know it would be hard to get a true impression based off of a small painted piece of metal or plastic, but maybe it would give people more of a push in a...

Ahhh, ok that makes me feel a bit better. Still not expecting anything within the next year, but I feel like the line might be smaller now. Unless it’s actually longer haha. I know I’ve seen some estimated pre-order totals over 50k now so just made an assumption. Thank you both for...

Damn. I just checked the link in my configuration page and the number is: 279659339. I just pre-ordered the R1T a month ago (07/01/21). I’m guessing that means my order number is 58,339… ouch. Haha even if 1/3 (assuming that number is for both models) of those ahead of me are for the R1S and...

So after seeing what people are paying on eBay for the new Ford Bronco, my buddy asked me if I would pay an extra $1,000 (not towards the total price of the R1) to get bumped up on the list. I told him I wouldn’t do it because I personally didn’t see the value in it. Then he asked if there was...

I agree with what you said, but I think the reservation numbers are a bit higher aren’t they? Some Google results show over 50k of pre-orders. That would be over $50,000,000. Still not nearly as much as the Amazon investment initially. Anyone know what each van will cost Amazon? I wonder if...

I’m not sure that is the first run through. If you look at the first frame of the video, there is yellow paint on the grate ahead of the truck. Plus the thin tracks that the truck is mounted to (moving along the floor between the grates) look like they are already yellow as well. I could be...
