Looking forward to finally seeing the real pricing on these things. That will determine for a lot of us whether we will actually purchase or if we just were putting $1000 in a no interest savings account for a year. I also assume there will have to be more detailed pictures of the options...
It will be interesting to see how that regenerative breaking feels in the Rivian. Some of the Tesla's I believe have the option of changing how much regen you want. That might be nice to have but I haven't heard mention of that in the Rivian. Porches Taycan is said to drive more like an ICE with...
It would be odd if they did not know what the retail price is yet. More likely they must want to include that info into a package with the configurator and updated release and sales and service information. So what is the holdup ? Maybe waiting for the proper stars to align as being the first to...
Seems like that is a large trailer and weight for what might be considered a mid sized truck. I have to be impressed seeing it pull that thing around with another vehicle inside. And its not true that the weight is not as important as wind resistance if you are driving up hills. Everyone knows...
Rivian must have their reasons for not releasing a configurator yet but the Nicola disaster makes every move they make more critical. Also to be honest we don't really know when finished vehicles will be ready for sale. An estimated production date of June of 2021 could still turn into end of...
Well Rivian really knows how to put out the PR videos to keep us interested. It just feels a little scary to see them doing this testing now when production is so close. I would have hoped they did this and most other tests long ago on the prototypes. Hopefully they did and this is just an update.
Chocolate Color on a vehicle has always been dicey and wouldn't be something I would be interested in but would blend well in the outdoors for camping enthusiasts. Might also look better in better light. Will be interesting to see what the PR people name it so it sounds attractive. Seats look...
Well we will definitely have to "see" all the options available before knowing how to configure our rigs. Have they not put enough vehicles together yet for us to even see how they look in various trims ? I am most interested to see how the interior is coming out. Have they changed much from the...
2 woman piloting the Rivian in this "Race", and they have won twice before. Very Interesting ! Seems like this should be news in and of itself. I wonder if the idea to have woman drivers was intentional by Rivian since a BEV truck is such a innovative concept why not break some more stereotypes...
Not necessarily if the turbines didn't take up any extra space like in the very front bumper. Not saying this would really be viable it just never occured to me to even think about it before. I would guess ev designers have thought about it and it wasn't worth it to loose the aerodynamics.
Undoubtably the future. We are just not there yet I n terms of practicality. For now we just need more Grid power produced by large solar and wind arrays. Makes me wonder about adding wind power do the front of an EV.
One thing I don't see mentioned would be slide out rack for the gear tunnel similar to the pull out kitchen but more for tools and other smaller items. That thing right now is best suited to long skinny things that can be grabbed easily without reaching way in, but if someone were storing tools...
Absolutely Sentry mode. Who knows how ICE truck owners are going to react to these new trucks in the outback. Look at the kickback on Teslas and think about it for trucks. Maybe even add some electroshock features like the car KITT had in Knight Rider !
To all who are asking for solar on the vehicle though that would be very cool unless there are some recent developments I don't know about we are still aways from that being a viable option. EV vehicles take way more power to charge than any solar panel on the roof or tonneou could provide. My...
Thinking about the mid grade 135 kw in Silver and please a non wood interior trim option. Should be so many cool tech things included that i will be like a kid in a candy store.
