If Elon Musk has taught us anything over the last year. If you are rich enough, you can do whatever the heck you want. He "runs" 3 companies, had kids with 2 separate women within months of each other, raises prices, lowers prices, raises and lowers them again within weeks for entry level...

But note to self, if I ever move to Wyoming, it's actually better to drive a Dodge Challenger Hellcat. I mean, it might be slower, but for the environment, it's the right choice.

Does Wyoming electricity run on methane (cow farts) or something?

you have it all wrong. The hitch is in the front because whoever drives this truck drives it fully in reverse. When there is only 1 gear, you can go 112MPH in reverse and with the trunk in the new-and-improved-front, you can keep an eye on your passengers in your custom hot tub installation...

I am sorry to hear that your order has been delayed without an explanation. However, I have heard that changing your configuration pushes you back in the line, even if there are other people with the same configuration that ordered after you. It's the change that puts you further back. Rivian CS...

Well, every single car manufacturer since the beginning of time has claimed their "upgraded" audio system was amazing. It's just a sales pitch. However, I agree, it's baffling that they don't support audio over USB. I figure it's just another of their conscious decisions made to force people to...

Well, the funny part about major shifts in strategy, the last people to know are always the folks the interact with customers directly. So I wouldn't put to much faith in what the CS agent said. We'll know about CarPlay support being added as soon as the Guides and CS officially know (probably...

My assumption is that they slowed down the roll-out deliberately to conserve cash. Why on earth would you spend money opening up thousands of fast charger sites when you only have 10s of thousands of cars on the road? Their utilization would be extremely low and the capital investment would be...

glad prices are coming down. People holding their reservations in hope of flipping them will continue to cancel their orders.

because they are focusing on table stakes like adding features like garage door opening ability. There is a lot to do to get to parity with competition. Believe me, it would be worse if they fired SW engineers.

Mine still shows Q4 2023, no change in the graphql response. However, my assumption is that there is a rolling background job that is slowly updating all estimates. Since mine has not changed at all, I am guessing the job hasn't gotten to me yet, or it did, and my estimate is still the same...

The funny part about all of this is that the refreshed windows won't actually change the day that you're going to get your vehicle. You'll get it when you get it. I mean they are starting to deliver dual motor R1Ts. I am pretty sure they haven't finished delivering all the launch edition R1S...

I don't know what's up with Florida, but there was at least one other very early pre-order holder on this forum that has "Processing estimate/2024" timeline for their order based out of Florida. I think it has a lot to do with your location and less to do with your order date. For example, I...

Yeah, normally when companies have a market cap near their asset value, they become a target for hostile takeovers and activist investors forcing board seats and leadership shakeups. Either would benefit the stock price, neither would benefit the long-term roadmap. So I hope that doesn't happen.

The last update was late October, I'd expect the next update to be late January too.

I guess knowing the volumes that Lucid and Fisker are doing... What does that mean about demand and their order backlogs compared to Rivian? Also, I am jealous that you are able to give all the brands a try. Stinks that one won't be in your garage in the next few months, but in the meantime you...

thanks for the clarification.

I think the important thing to note is that NO R1 either Quad or Dual motor independent of the battery size will be getting 800V architecture in the immediate future. That's kind of disappointing because in 2021 (maybe early 2022) they still had verbiage on their site that stated that they'd be...

Does the future owner of that R1T get to keep the balloons? Does the air compressor keep them inflated?

This may be an outlier, but the many reports of only getting around 20k per tire is pretty dismal.
