You just spotted RJ’s ride, lol

Now if your friend had only photoshopped the headlamps white and the fog lamps white. People would've believed this was a test mule for the next iteration!

the lack of engine sound was eery. It's going to take me awhile to get used to that. I see myself in old age saying something like "back in my day, if someone was speeding down the road, you heard them coming and going. Both ways, uphill"

My best guess is that they are re-designing the seating configuration to allow for an extended range battery pack with 3-rows. There as an update from Rivian awhile back that they made the change based on overwhelming customer feedback. I would still give them the benefit of the doubt regarding...

lots of high paying jobs coming to the area, unlike a $15/hr Amazon fulfillment job... I totally understand not wanting having a factory as a neighbor, but of all the factories, a high paying one is really a win for the region.

Love that they literally produced 2 "production" R1Ss in 2021 and sold them to the CEO and CFO.... but in the article they say that the R1S is still working through prototyping..... Not loving that news. But if they're ramping the R1T, that's still progress in the right direction.

Ford Explorer: 199″ L x 79″ W x 70″ H Rivian R1S: 201" L x 82" W x 77" H (max suspension) So 2 inches wider and 3 inches longer than one of the most popular 3 row SUVs isn't a deal breaker. Sure, would it have been great if they could've been a couple inches more narrow or shorter, yeah. But...

So does he drive his R1T from Irvine to Normal? Kidding, he probably has one at both places

I am also interested to know if you can play music via usb-c from your phone as an alternative to bluetooth. I'm hoping that we'd have that option because it should retain the high fidelity of the audio. My guess is that if this is supported only one or 2 ports might support this (if any) So...

It's going to be confusing to non-rivian owners to see waypoints that aren't free when some are.... But it's nice to see some free charging options.

Anybody remember Fisker. I wonder what happened to the original Fisker cars when the company folded years back. I don't think there was much warranty support of any kind.

I don't think this deal will change Rivian's ability to operate or deliver vehicles. It's just bad for shareholders. Rivian can make up ground, in time by delivering a superior product and getting repeat orders and more customers for their commercial vans. The stock will be bumpy based on the...

People will buy Ford's F150 because of the brand. No question. People pay more for Mercedes because of the brand. the F150, specifically is one of the top 2 truck brands. People will pay a price premium rather than face the loss of "prestige" with an unknown brand or 2nd tier brand like Honda...

WAIT are maps not stored locally and they rely on an active data connection? that's actually a major bummer and strange for a car that is intended to be used in the wilderness w/o reliable connectivity...

anybody know what additional electrical work is required to allow V2H charging? I am assuming there needs to be some sort of cut-off from the grid so your car doesn't also power your neighbors' homes...

My main issue is with the rear lights. The turn signals are too small, imo. And the light bar just seems kind of flat and boring. I get that it matches the front. But the whole package looks darn nice and it kind of looks retro-futuristic with the ultra boxy rear and stadium headlights in the...

Well, if Rivian actually cares about preserving the environment, they're going to have to figure out how to keep their vehicles on the road longer than the usable battery life of 7 years. But hey, they have 7 years to figure out how to make a cheaper replacement battery, haha.

Yeah, they already announced a small and max battery pack option that is not currently available. They also mentioned a removable roof for the R1T. If those things aren't released by 2023, I'd be surprised. out of curiosity, I did a google search for Model S updates over the years... there were...

Honestly, I'd give CS some credit. They're typically the last to hear about operational updates. They were almost spot on with their estimate about delivery window emails being sent out on the 27th and 28th.... The first delivery emails went out on the 28th instead of the 27th. So If it arrives...

There's your answer.
