I took the review here/Reddit with a spoonful of salt. The timing of delivery meant it had to be an employee vehicle which meant there were going to be issues. Iwantatesla did enough in his videos to show his truck had negligible fit and finish issues and decent software. I was confused on why...

Wonder if the admins are triggered ever time they read Android Auto or Apple Carplay in their every day lives?

Kudos to your dealer if this ends up being true and there's no markup. Make sure to shout them out, more dealers need to be encouraged to do the same.

Hopefully it works out for you. I just don't see how Ford can "make" a dealer do something. They can get tricky with allocations or something else on the back end but they can't really tell a dealer to charge a customer a certain price. That's the crux of the dealer model. The Bronco and...

Dealers can absolutely markup. If you're interested to see how much check out the F150 Lightning forums or the sub reddit. The lowest I saw were $5-10k before the ordering went live, I'm not sure how bad its gotten. It's just another hoop for people to jump through to find a dealer that says...

I too await an electric Cadillac EXT with $150k MSRP.

They should have just called this Avalanche. "F-150" Lightning makes sense since they just shoved a bunch of batteries in a BOF truck and swapped the ICE for motors. But this is a new platform that will be shared within GM. They could've done multiple launches, one now with its inevitable $100k...

With respect, is another thread on this topic necessary?

I'm sure these things will sell. As a long time shareholder I'm happy. As a consumer I'm a bit thrown by the pricing but the product folks know much more than I do about packaging a vehicle. Part of me thinks Fordwere banking on beating GM to the punch with a reasonable option in the "PRO" and...

Anything is possible but I don't think that's likely with just the one communication pushing out to 2023. If this year we see more pleas to switch to the Large pack under the guise of earlier availability then its more likely. Leadership would truly be trying to sink the company if they knew...

I agree in the sense the employee charging interactions aren't adding any value. I'd disagree in the sense that few if any other manufacturers detail their own charging curves. A lot of that work is done by media using vehicles provided by the manufacturer. Ultimately we'll see soon enough what...

Short of some major backfire on Rivian's part the resale on these things should be decent over the next few years. With the supply chain and component issues we'll be experiencing through the next 18 months or longer it makes sense to get a vehicle "sooner", live with it then sell it in a year...

Very unlikely a new from ground up platform would achieve less than acceptable scores these days, ideally a perfect score for all the crash tests. If a 3rd Gen Tacoma that hasn't changed all that much from 2015 to 2021 can get mostly good scores I'd think it should be pretty easy for Rivian to...

I don't particularly think anyone is throwing out 300 miles as a certainty of mileage. Hell on the website it even advertises a reduction of 10-15% of that range with the 20"ATs. So I don't beleive any of the Launch editions delivered (that have had pictures on this forum so far) are actually...

I'd be surprised if they nuked what's left of their good will before delivering any signifigant amount of vehciles. Tesla can tweak pricing to optimize margins as much as they want, that's what a decade head start without competition gets you. I don't beleive pricing will stay the same forever...

I'd disagree, plenty of people on this small forum of enthusiasts have used an electric vehicle full time. It just comes down to use case and looking at it from a couple of different ways. From Rivian's side they must have done the research and found where "most" of their prospective buyers for...

There's probably a happy medium between Costco runs and extreme off roading every day. It seems Rivian's goal was to hit a sweet spot. It's certainly not going to be capable of 300+ miles of extreme off road excursions on a single charge if only for the fact that you'd have to get to and from...

Rented a Kia this past week with wireless Carplay. From my experience its not designed for the "Carplay" phone to leave the car while its still on or in accesory mode. I had to toggle off bluetooth several times on the host iPhone for it to "restart" wireless Carplay. I was annoyed but...

Given the track record so far I'd agree that 2H 2023 is vague enough timing as to not count on it for certain. If you know for sure you need the Max Pack, stick with it. You'll always be wishing you had it. The tax credit is up in the air, who knows what will happen.

This makes the most sense to me. I’ll keep this for a while but certainly not forever. At some point it will still be worth a decent amount and I can trade it in for the updates and improvements. When we start getting into 500 miles of range, faster charging, or other features that will be worth...
