  1. New Renault Turbo 3E … R3X looking better than ever..

    https://www.renault.co.uk/electric-vehicles/r5-turbo-3e.html i would consider this Renault a competitor to the Rivian R3X, but a direct competitor. The main difference is price with rumors flying that it is going to be €140,000. What do you get for that kind of money? 2 motor Rear drive for...
  2. Tariffs on R2 ? [ADMIN WARNING: NO POLITICS; POLICY DISCUSSION ONLY]

    With import tariffs seemingly inevitable what is the effect going to be on the upcoming R2 line? Assembly in the US, but important components certainly coming from China and possibly the main battery as well. This would add significant pressure on the MSRP and it would seem all hope of anything...
  3. EV infrastructure In Hurricane situation.

    I have been monitoring the Tesla Supercharger Network and EA throughout in real time for the past 2 days and the EV charging situation has generally been great and a real lifesaver. Despite the rampant Anti-EV claims by both know-nothing shills and certain actual Florida politicians it turns oit...
  4. New Tri-Motor 2025 R1 Series has 850hp.

    Ummm. Just putting it out there that the new refreshed R1 lineup features a 850hp Tri-motor option. If this is the same Tri-motor setup bound for the R3X line we are in for supercar-shredding performance,
  5. BP hiring ex-Tesla Supercharger employees, possible purchase of Superchargers

    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-05-09/bp-keen-to-buy-tesla-supercharging-sites-for-us-expansion?srnd=homepage-americas paywalled, but it looks ominous for Tesla’s commitment towards maintaining its own Supercharger network.
  6. Guess what I found

    I’ve been seeing this thing tooling around here in the Florida Panhandle for a couple of days now. Cybeetruck looks massive in real life but photographs a bit smaller. Weird. I guess it’s the proportions with its straight slab sides. The stainless was pretty dirty. On the road in normal life I...
  7. What if….Elon is prepping Tesla for sale?

    1. Apple cuts entire car division a few months ago. 2. Elon is clearly over being in the car business. It no longer interests him. He is much more personally engaged on social media and AI at this point in time as his shiny new objects of desire. 3. Elonā€˜s actions indicate he is unconcerned...
  8. New Mustang Mach-e GT Rally EV beats Rivian R3X to the punch

    https://www.ford.com/suvs/mach-e/models/mach-e-rally/ well it looks like the new Mustang Mach-E GT Rally strikes first in the retro-Rally inspired movement. Starts at $60k (we’ll see what dealer markups do to this) it does look inspired by Rally cars esp with the large rear wing. Magna-Ride...

  11. Rivian Accessories for sale at Rivian Centers?

    I am picking up my R1S next Saturday in Atlanta and was wondering Accessories are available to purchase and leave with right then and there?

  12. Should Rivian Follow Fisker to a Dealership Model?

    https://www.reuters.com/business/autos-transportation/fisker-integrate-dealership-model-with-direct-sales-boost-ev-deliveries-2024-01-04/ Fisker appears to be opening the possibility of dealers getting involved in distribution and support of Fisker autos. I do think Rivian should explore this...
  13. Rivians starting to be everywhere now along Emerald Coast 30a area.

    I will be adding my own R1S Limestone w/OC interior this Jan 20. But today driving along 98 and 30a from Inlet Beach to Seaside I counted 5 Rivians. This is pretty incredible considering this is not tourist season and the number of full-time residents here is not that high compared to other...
  14. Panhandle Rivian incoming

    I am awaiting my Delivery email from Rivian now that I submitted all the required steps and payment. I will be picking up in Atlanta and driving it down to Santa Rosa Beach Fl. There are already quite a few Rivian’s here so I will not be all alone. I am hoping that Rivian eventually opens up a...
  15. Early Pre-Order Finally in Delivery Process

    Pre-Ordered R1S Oct. 2021 before the IPO. Was able to lock in Pre-IPO pricing and I am 5 1/2 hours away from the nearest SC so I have been a low priority for Rivian, but at last the delivery is in process. My Configuration app screen has been in "Processing Estimate" as long as this has been a...

  20. Rivian Owner's R1T powers 2 refrigerators during blackout

    This sort of thing needs an official solution from Rivian. 2-way EV power will become a standard expectation sooner rather than later.
