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.
1. No ATs for 21ā, but if you donāt 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 haveās are things you canāt get after delivery, so...
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 havenāt scaled production and proven sustainability yet. For non-institutional...
hereās a good summary from a recent research paper:

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/rechargeāI.e. going from 100%-0%-100% over short interval is going to...
Youāre right, itās very nuancedāif 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...
Interesting. It sounds like both of our builds have started construction, but no vin assignment yet. I wouldnāt 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...
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. Itās truly a unique vehicle. Maybe CT will someday rival the R1T, but right now there is just nothing that can...
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, didnāt get a delivery estimate and cannot get Shop access anymore.
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.
Iām within an hour of three service centers, so the ādelayā was most definitely due to me switching from Max pack to Large right after the fall refresh last year..
