It's getting cold outside, kids need indoor activities. Rivian are adventure vehicles for kids too :)

to each their own. hands down would rather buy the R1S over any of the finalists.

I watched the video for the fun factor, not because 0.5 seconds off the rated 0-60 would affect my purchase decision. I am literally going to try to match the 0-60 speed probably 10 times over the lifetime of the vehicle, 8 of those times probably within the first month of ownership. 60-0 is a...

looks nice. however they are having more ramp-up and quality problems than Rivian.

Not change, but say it didn't pass QA... HW may be there, but HW is insufficient for production use and will never be enabled? Make sense?

No, not explicitly, but At one time Rivian also said Max pack would be delivered first. They also said that a heat pump was not necessary because they are using heat from the motors to warm the batteries, but they are developing one for some reason. Rivian also at one time said that 300+kW...

From Rivian Q4 2021 shareholder letter.... This letter came out after RJ's video. So the latest appears to be that V2H and V2V charging are dependent upon their 800V architecture, which is not in any vehicles in production today.

That makes a lot of sense though. these are some of the first no compromises EVs to market. Even the Tesla Model X 3rd row is only usable for children. I also don't remember where I heard this, but I thought the majority of their pre-orders were for the R1S now. There's no EV on the market that...

11/2/2021 pre-order R1S. October-December 2023 estimate.

Well for one, when you go to grab your insurance and registration when you get pulled over. Police expect you to go to the glove box. Not under your seat. If you want to get a gun pulled on you, go reach for something unexpected in a place the officer can't see without announcing it during a...

and I edited the post because this is the internet and I got my UTC backwards... -12 is the absolute latest they would update. +14 means that they'd update us all earlier!

per customer support they are going to update the web site at 23:59 UTC-12:00 10/31/2022

Bug fixes and improvements as the only note is code for “we made a change that we are not willing to advertise, either we are fixing a serious flaw, adding a feature that is behind the scenes that benefits us, but not you or we dark deployed a secret update that we can’t announce until after we...

I know this is for the good of everyone. The test results will give Rivian information on how to improve their crashworthiness. However, so few have been produced and it makes me sad that some are being crashed intentionally.

The tent is still available for the R1S because the brake light is not obstructed when it is mounted on the roof. they removed the power tonneau because it was a bad design and got stuck frequently. I’d rather have the manual version until they figure out how to make a reliable power version...

Valid concerns from the R1S review. Not having a way to cover the roof glass is a big miss. It's totally impractical on hot summer days. I get not having CarPlay as a way to force people to adopt your interface and get more data on how to improve it quicker. It would be great if they added it as...

Anything without 3 rows is not really a competitor to the R1S.

When the opportunity cost of switching to an untested brand is higher than $50?

Not going to lie. The Rivian charger does need a lip like the Tesla charger to wrap the charging cord around. It seems like the cord would slip off the Rivian one pretty easily. Especially if the cord is twisted or stiffer in cold temps.

I like how in the video Doug said the interest was much higher in the R1S than the R1T..... Why did they prioritize building the R1T then? First to market with an EV truck?
