Does anyone else think this news makes the statement on "risks" in the S-1 page 28 stand out as a bit more creepy than it already was? That risk statement was:
We are highly dependent on the services and reputation of Robert J. Scaringe, our Founder and Chief Executive Officer.
We are highly...
Great notes! Thanks for the details. Did you ever ask if the second row screen could be used to play movies for passengers? I will miss the screens in our Yukon Denali for the kids to watch. I guess most other kids have phones to entertain them.
I have all the same concerns here. It would be convenient, for some trips, but I'm not sure the storage challenge is worth it. I very much like the idea of driving to a trailhead late, setting up the tent, sleeping under the stars and hitting the trails early. But the cost for the few times it...
Other:I just want to hear from people that use it as a daily for what they like, were surprised they would like, or do not like. This is super subjective information and what bothers one might not even be noticed by another, but still, it could have some good info in a long-term review like that.
Fingers crossed for ya! The next really important reviews (to me) will be people that have driven them 1000+ miles or more. Those are the ones I can't wait to hear from! (looking at YOU!) :)
Thanks! I'm doing the yellow tent. I just think it looks super cool and stands out. Hope to camp at a trail-head some day in the future before heading up a 14er in Colorado!
So jealous! Did you actually lock in a final order at the event? Or just feel good about your configuration choices / make changes to that? I'm curious how many are finalized orders after these events.
Right? The more people that get this type of speed, the more it will be abused and create accidents. You already see lots of videos of that with Teslas. If tank-turn can be Geo-fenced, there is nothing stopping speed/acceleration from being geo-fenced, as well. At the very least, it would be...
My pure speculation is:
Everyone that went to the drive event in Normal will get their vehicles next week, plus a few other influencers, like the Rivian Stories guys.
People that attend the first drive events next week will be taken in for financing and final orders that same day
Lots of press...
While I think the crazy-fast acceleration is kind of exciting, I'm more of the view that this is more a trick pony, just like tank-turn. I don't need to accelerate that quickly 99.9999% of the time. If there is an option to disable that through a reduction in the acceleration, I would probably...
That is an awesome story! I really wanted to hop on the motorcycle and head up when I heard they were here, but time and kids prevented that escape. So glad to live it vicariously through you!
I hope some of you in Colorado get vehicles this year! (2021 for posterity) I only ordered and R1S in June-21, so I think I will be waiting quite a while. I actually thought about taking delivery in Normal and doing the first trip as the return to Colorado. That sounds ambitious for my first EV...
Thanks for the info! You are truly a legend on these forums. There is no way you could possibly have put together all the questions and there is no way they would believe you were the one asking them! Every one would have to be "And here is another question from the forum members..." as the kind...
Here is a question that has been bugging me for some reason. Maybe @DuckTruck was able to experience this?
Is the charging door made of aluminum or plastic? For some reason I'm bothered that it could be plastic. I've had numerous vehicles over the years that have had fuel doors break or fail...
