Prices aren't all the same. Wall Charger $500 in configurator vs $700 in the shop

I don't have an email nor do I see the Seattle event on the Rivian site. Maybe it was a glitch? I thought they were doing LA before Seattle though.

Didn't even occur to me to look south...I'll have to take a look and see if it makes sense to switch.

Not sure if we are allowed to talk about specific dealerships... If the dealer is part of the Pi✖️✖️✖️e auto group, they are blowing smoke like crazy. I avoid them like the plauge. I debated on whether to go with the one in Kirkland or the one in Bremerton (the ferry ride was a negative, but...

While I agree that the current and even near term fundamentals don't justify the 60B valuation, that is in line with what the market is valuing Lucid at. Now, does Lucid deserve to be valued at what it is? Based on fundamentals, no. There is also no way that Tesla is worth it's current valuation...

There's probably a loophole there that a good lawyer could get through given that the current definition doesn't say the car has to be assembled by organized labor. Might be able to let the factory electricians organize under IBEW, or the cafeteria workers organize under UFCW and qualify. That...

I think when I registered on SOFI there was wording for having to hold for X days. Don't recall seeing that on the Morgan Stanley portal.

As a preorder holder, I have a vested interest in there being some sort of credit that would be applicable to BEVs. That said, if the end goal was to reduce pollution and green house gas emissions, wouldn't a better policy not necessarily select BEV technology but be more general? Maybe...

Isn't the upper right dot in Quebec most likely Montreal? Perhaps the one that appears to be in Buffalo NY is Toronto? The map doesn't exactly have accurate proportions.

You can't unless you have a 7+ figure around with an IB.

So... We are both arguing that the conversion rate will be pretty decent, but for slightly different reasons. In the end, we will never know which theory was valid or how much it actually contributed. As you've stated, the real answer is probably a multitude of factors. We won't know why the...

Stupid auto correct, should have been "gut". Simple economics though. If it didn't cost anything (i.e. $0) pre order, there would be more vs it being $100 vs $1,000 vs $10,000. People that can afford the higher deposit are probably better off financially and more likely convert (and probably not...

That's like saying because the weather was cold today, global warming/climate change can't possibly be happening. The data is that over time, cars as a whole have traditionally depreciated. I will admit that some cars actually appreciate in value (rare cars, etc). Perhaps we are at an...

It was just under 50k, 48k and change I think...too lazy to look it up. Also, there is an issue of conversion rate...how many of those pre orders will actually convert to sales. I've seen some people say that 30% loss would be expected given other similar launches. I have nothing to base it...

While I agree in principle with this position, it does discount for those that are on the margin. For those that have the means not not worry about the extra money they save from the tax credit or don't care about the opportunity cost, this thought process probably works for them. For those...

I've always used the dead pedal as way to readjust/stretch in the seat on long drives (that's what my old man said they were for). I've had them in my previous SUVs, 2 seater RWD sport cars, and 4 door sedans. Never occured to me that it might have been a by-product of trying to for something...

154 predicted miles at 70% SoC...assuming a linear curve, that's only 220 miles of range. I hope it is calculating that based off of recent consumption and the owner was flooring it... I know it's been talked about elsewhere, but they really need to do a consumption graph and state KW state of...

In the end, we have to wait for the final language of what passes. But the latest House Bill had different price points for SUVs and Trucks. I don't see the MSRP cap going away in the final bill at all given that it was inserted by Sinema in the Senate bill and acts as a mechanism to limit the...

I don't believe any are point of sale based on the language in the bills floating around Even if they were, I couldn't see any manufacturer or dealer doing it without guidance on what qualifies under the MSRP language. Too much risk that they are in a situation where they gave too much of a...

Looks like that determination will left be up to the DOT as there is currently no additional language on which MSRP to use, so it falls under the purview of the Secretary of Transportation: Given the administration's stance on reducing carbon emissions, one could see a scenario where they...
