This is a bummer but I get that they have to cut costs and complexity where they can. One thing about them being a start-up with no established service network is that the more complex a vehicle they make, the more things there are to break. This is something that can be added later and I don't...
Second observation after breaking away from the trance inducing wrap... I notice that the headlights double as the turn signal (which look awesome). However, I believe in the states that there is a requirement that a portion of it be visible from the side. I thought that the light on the wheel...
On the Model 3 the PWS is very easy to unplug. I plan to do this on any future EV I buy. Having a sound this loud is completely insane especially when the vehicle is stopped. Looks like EVs won't be helping reduce noise pollution in neighborhoods and city streets as much as we thought...
Fellow Alabamian checking in. My wife and I are currently on the list for a "Rivian Blue" R1T. We aren't sure if we'll go through with our order though. A lot is riding on (pun intended) the test drive, warranty, and service.
There are a few Level 2 chargers in downtown Birmingham that are free and within walking distance of some good restaurants. It might not be much but it should give you the juice you need to get the Gulf at a comfortable speed!
I am confident that it does. Below is a post by an ABRP employee giving details on the different levels of confidence that they place on vehicles based on the amount of real world data they have collected by their users...
The app is also excellent. Keep in mind that the ABRP uses community data to make range predictions more accurate. This means that the current predicted range will likely change after the vehicles have been on the road for a while. You can also add data other than driving speed (i.e. temp...
Not to get political... but I don't understand how companies can on one hand fight so hard for social equality and justice here in the states and on the other turn to China and say "Yeah, we'd love to do business with you." I mean look at what China did to Hong Kong just last year and companies...
I like this theory but like you said, we don't have anything to go off of. It sounds like the partnership was originally intended to result in a Lincoln (basically Ford) branded vehicle. In your scenario it makes me wonder if it would be a Ford or Rivian branded vehicle. We've seen the images of...
Yes, I noticed this too. Someone from Rivian needs to give her a call and let her know.
People are gonna think this is the Lordstown Endurance. She sure is drumming up hype for their design...
You can see her hand here pressing the button to open the frunk. This is new info to me. I figured that there'd be a button somewhere but this is the first time I've seen it actually used. Also, it looks like she has to keep it pressed until the hatch is fully open and again until it is fully...
I have wondered this as well and I have a guess. I'm thinking that the two vehicles are so similar that they can do most of the testing and data gathering by just using one vehicle. Rivian is still a small company, so rather than split and spread themselves too thin to test each independently...
This will be a great durability test for them! I'm hoping that they will be entering the production version of the vehicle that we recently saw camo'd up in the desert testing series. Maybe they'll show a new color too! With it being in October I'd image that they will have it ready by then.
So after putting down my deposit last week I decided email Rivian and see if I could squeeze any tidbit of new info from them. I asked about when reservation holders can expect to hear more about the following things... Service plans, warranty coverage, configurator, and test drives. I don't...
Hey y'all! I've been on the forum for about a month now and have been keeping track on Rivian for about twice that. My wife and I just put down a deposit on an R1T last night and we are both very excited. We are definitely on the low side of the age demographic for this expensive of a vehicle...
