  1. Interesting questions or statements in parking lots about R1T or S

    My favorites: "...but where's the engine?" "...can it fart unicorns, too?" Enjoy converting the EV nonbelievers!
  2. Amazon and Rivian negotiating end of exclusivity agreement for EDV Electric Delivery Van

    It's in Amazon's own interest, as a major stakeholder, for Rivian to sell its vans to others if they are not going to purchase all of them. I'm sure they will work it out.
  3. R1T final configurations - my questions

    1. No ATs for 21ā€, but if you don’t drive on unmaintained roads the ATs will probably be an overkill. 2. The $3700 is for a full set, the spare will be available in the Gear Shop, probably sometime after the April refresh. 3. The only must haveā€˜s are things you can’t get after delivery, so...
  4. When are we going to see a positive headline for Rivian that bumps the stock?

    Why do people want the stock price to go up so bad in short-term? I understand wanting to recoup losses, but RIVN was a long-play from the start. I would argue RIVN is exactly where it should be, considering they haven’t scaled production and proven sustainability yet. For non-institutional...
  5. Steep Declines - avoiding friction brakes

    At 45°, you should be decelerating without breaks on high regen, assuming SOC is not high.
  6. Does First Mile drive offer a clue to delivery date?

    Had my FMD in early 2022–the guide flat out told me NOT to expect to get into a Max pack anytime s00n.
  7. Just Saw 3 R1Ts During a 10 Minute Drive!

    Starting to see the R1T in more weird places, like Omaha, NE and Lancaster, PA. Keep ā€˜ā€˜em coming!
  8. How often is 100% SoC "safe"

    here’s a good summary from a recent research paper: Source: https://mospace.umsystem.edu/xmlui/bitstream/handle/10355/73777/Xiong-Shihui-Research.pdf
  9. How often is 100% SoC "safe"

    Full SoC is stressful on the battery, yes, but much more so with prolonged non-use, like if you charged full and left it in the garage for two weeks. Consider other important factors, like rapidness and deepness of discharge/recharge—I.e. going from 100%-0%-100% over short interval is going to...
  10. Scorpion AS+ tire swap (from 20" Scorpion AT) - WOW big difference

    It’s another good day for Rivian lovers ā¤ļø Great to see positive feedback from 20ā€ AS!
  11. Treasury Updates Vehicle Classification Standard for Clean Vehicle Tax Credits Under Inflation Reduction Act

    You’re right, it’s very nuanced—if you are in Wyoming and have very few renewable sources of electricity, an EV will have generated more emissions than ICE over its lifetime. In California, a Golf EV will have generated roughly half the amount of emissions compared to Golf ICE over 60k miles...
  12. Delivery Estimate Updates Are Out! ā±ļø [as of Jan 31, 2022]

    Interesting. It sounds like both of our builds have started construction, but no vin assignment yet. I wouldn’t read too much into the January slowdown, they had to shut down the factory for a few days for retooling (presumably for dual-motor builds). Plus, they were actively ramping up second...
  13. For those who got R1S (or R1T) at original approximately $78k would you buy one for new price of approximately $93k?

    At either price point, there is no other car in production that has the combo of torque/break vectoring at every corner AND independent air suspension with electro-hydraulic dampers. It’s truly a unique vehicle. Maybe CT will someday rival the R1T, but right now there is just nothing that can...
  14. Delivery Estimate Updates Are Out! ā±ļø [as of Jan 31, 2022]

    Did you confirm your config this year? Do you have Shop access? Seems like those pending fulfillment (confirmed but no vin assignment), and are closest to the front of the queue, didn’t get a delivery estimate and cannot get Shop access anymore.
  15. CarPlay discussion with Rivian CS: company is working with Apple and it's a priority

    Many people are also baffled that Rivian’s values/priorities don’t align with theirs.
  16. Just spoke with my Guide, late February delivery for R1T

    I had it for a week in Jan and then it was taken away. I was told once you get access you keep it until vin assignment, but that was obviously just a bunch of donuts.
  17. Just spoke with my Guide, late February delivery for R1T

    I’m within an hour of three service centers, so the ā€œdelayā€ was most definitely due to me switching from Max pack to Large right after the fall refresh last year..
  18. Just spoke with my Guide, late February delivery for R1T

    My guide is actually Danny, but he’s been super unresponsive. Better luck emailing CS and getting replies from other guides!
  19. Just spoke with my Guide, late February delivery for R1T

    All you ā€˜22 pre-orderers from LA are making me envious! I’m still weeks away from being weeks away…
