I spoke to CS and they said it’s coming soon or by the end of the year. I also asked them about Launch Green and when we could see a Vehicle. They said coming soon. The same with Test Drives. I would presume by 6/20 some of this might happen.
Do you think the 550,000 deaths are over sensationalized or the hundreds of thousands of people who have lingering issues more serious than loss of taste?
Anyone, who does not go off-road, considering the BMW IX Drive 50? I saw that it was officially introduced. Size of the BMW X5. Same range as RIVIAN. Unfortunately has the ugly BMW Grill. Price is higher than RIVIAN by about $10k-15k with Options. They are saying delivery in Q1 2022.
Texas is a perfect place for Test Drives. Amazing how they were able to get rid of the Virus. They did a really good job of Vaccinating everyone. I don’t understand why the Mayors of the largest Cities were against the new ruling. I guess they erroneously reported so many deaths yesterday. I’m...
Today’s announcements:
Tesla- Chip shortages delaying some production for 2 weeks.
Lucid- Blames COVID for delays to the second half. This comes after previously blaming some issues with the Car.
RIVIAN-no information. Today would have been the perfect opportunity to confirm their delivery...
It is disturbing that Lucid, so close to delivery dates, announces a 3 or more month delay. Will RIVIAN do the same in April? Is that why we are not getting any updates? For planning purposes I’m figuring RIVIAN will deliver 3-5 months later then they have announced.
I don’t think you saw the original statement. I was commenting back on someone who said, last Oct, that they disagreed with the Biden Economic plan. I said and yes the Virus ending is just around the corner etc etc. I then said , I also think.....
No one other than RIVIAN knows the number. But it’s interesting that someone could place a LE order in Nov 2020 and get delivery within 13 months. So the number may not be as high as people thought. If you figure in the first year they will deliver under 10,000-15,000 Vehicles maybe after...
Tesla also needs to make money. They currently made no money in 2020 from their cars. All of the Profit comes from selling Energy Credits. As the number of Electric Cars increases from other Manufactures the ability to sell these Credits will go down. I would not be happy as a Tesla Customer if...
I find it hard to believe that the floor will not be nearly flat (3% angle). RIVIAN realizes that 50% of the people buying the RIS have a need to transport a Dog. Fortunately for me my 140 pound St Bernard will make the floor flat even if RIVIAN can’t.
With better advanced planning they could have already opened 5-6 Showrooms. If Lucid, a much smaller company can do it, RIVIAN could have done it. They could have also coordinated it with their future Service Provider. This is a company well financed so spending a few million to provide a...
Lacking openness is never acceptable in business. Launch Green is the top color ordered. RIVIAN knows that yet they have refused to show anyone what the color looks like. Would it really be that hard to paint a Vehicle and photograph it?
Having a live presentation of the Vehicles and answering...
I worry about the opposite. With the Virus getting worse every week will they be forced to shut down and or will they have trouble getting Parts? When they had to close earlier this year the Virus was not as bad as it is now. Hopefully this won’t happen.
When RIVIAN originally set up their Options they obviously wanted to keep it as simple as possible. The less Options means more profits. As we all saw the Configurator was very basic. I think many of us were surprised. Look at any of the other premium car Configurator as a comparison. One would...
