Now I am going to be on the lookout for a White R1T in the area.... The biggest concern I have based on his comments are durability of the novel moving parts like the gear tunnel that wouldn't open or the dust buildup in the tonneau cover and long term reliability.

Totally got a great shot of a Rivian Blue R1T outside of Chicago with temporary plates :CWL:

is the app still unusable unless you already own a Rivian? It would be nice if they'd let you get a sneak peak of some features, like charging trip planning....

It is highly probable that Rivian has 100k orders by now. the IPO created a lot of buzz. the Rivian brand is still relatively unknown. Press coverage at this point can drastically increase reservation volume.

the first search result on google says 3 million, could be total, not including cancellations, which probably what Barclays represents.

8% of Tesla's roughly 3,000,000 cyber truck pre-orders would be 240,000. Last published number from Rivian was 55k pre-orders. So either there have been 185k more pre-orders in the last month, or the cancellation rate for Rivian has been extremely high....

So wait… 1000 carry the 2 subtract 5… isn’t 8% multiplied by 10 equal 80% of the total cash deposits for the cyber truck…. for a company that has no brand recognition, I think 80% is not half bad

Also, This 80k cap for SUVs is definitely going to cause manufacturers to raise rooflines and classify cars as SUVs in order to make sure more qualify for discounts. Even though lower profile roofs would probably be more efficient and have a smaller environmental impact due to smaller battery...

My assumption that the MSRP limits on these tax credit proposals is to encourage manufacturers to prioritize development of affordable electric vehicles to speed mass adoption instead of luxury-priced EVs with limited market opportunity. However, what's available now are expensive EVs and I...

I wish we knew the cancellation rate. However, we'll never know. I just want to know my expected delivery window. I am assuming most people that don't have one feel the same. Some people will cancel because the delivery window is longer than they expected. Some will inevitably cancel because...

I asked CS awhile back, they said the top half is powered, the bottom half is not.

I see a match made In heaven here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elio_Motors https://www.eliomotors.com

That was my bad. math is hard. yes 1500. I love the internet. all math mistakes are always caught.

Honestly, I am glad they didn’t cut out the real wood in the front 2 rows where we would notice it! The interior is still spectacular for a $75k vehicle. I am a fan of the split tailgate because it saves your bumper when loading and unloading large and heavy objects! It would have been nice if...

If you think he hasn't already, then you have never met a single head of a single company ever in history. When you are at the top of a company, no matter the size, it is your life. If it is dying, so are you, figuratively.

Overwhelmingly High Speed Hard Instant Torque mode or OH SHIT mode

I found the original article for the Hummer EV: https://www.motortrend.com/news/2022-gmc-hummer-ev-pickup-pros-cons-review/ Hummer's frustration test was at 1% lower grade and with a 2,500lb LIGHTER trailer! So take this with a grain of salt. Rivian R1T: * 35-55-mph 6% grade acceleration with...

so the R1T is quicker down the quarter mile but slower 0-60. sounds like a toss up on the numbers. I wouldn't call that slower, like MT did.

Do you know where the patent for this is published? It sounds like the difference between wiring 2 1.5v batteries in parallel to double the amperage vs in series to double the voltage to 3v. Obviously this battery pack has hundreds of tiny batteries so I am wondering if there is some trickery in...

I can't get over how terrible that truck looks. I just don't get it. I mean, even the Pontiac Aztec didn't look that polarizing...
