I don't think pedantics is a word. I think you're looking for pedantries. Sorry, I guess that was pedantic. But the facts are the facts. What I laid out was the actual history of what went down. I think it's a shame when people get all wound up over some outrage that never actually occurred...

This is a terrific analysis of one of the challenges that everyone (including Rivian) is facing. Thanks for the insight.

Come on, now. Rivian hasn't been good at communications and I wish they were moving more quickly at producing vehicles (bring me my damn truck!), but they haven't pushed back delivery targets a half dozen times. Here's the actual history: 1. Rivian announced in late 2018 that they intended to...

Nope. Still standing by...since Nov 2018. ? I think you should plan on the April part of that March/April window. ?

Buy the T. When you need to move 7 people, just put your 5 favorites in the cabin, the smallest one in the gear tunnel and the smelliest one in the bed. The tonneau cover will keep the rain and wind off. No worries. ?

No denying that those are valid use cases. I just don't know that OEMs like Rivian, Tesla, Ford, etc, are going to want to build those products. If those OEMs can build a lighter, cheaper battery pack that has 400 miles of range, charges really quickly, and appeals to the masses, will they have...

Not specifically Rivian-related, but this trailer concept from Airstream is a really cool idea. One of these would probably cost a billion dollars, and it doesn't solve the general use trailer issue, but the video is worth a watch: Airstream eStream Concept | Looking to the Future with Bob...

I think you've got another four or five years before you really need to worry about that. Rivian has adequate cash on hand to be both unprofitable and still solvent for that long. Now, will they be in business fifteen years from now? The old crystal ball is a bit hazy on the answer to that...

Agreed. If better battery technology becomes available five years from now that would allow OEM's to pack 1000+ miles of range into a battery pack the size/weight of a R1 battery pack, I think the choice would be to offer a ~400-mile pack that was smaller and lighter, rather than maximizing...

Yep. I have a stock Honda Ridgeline infotainment/nav system. It's fine. It supports Android Auto, but I don't use it because Android Auto sucks. I use Audible and Spotify apps on my phone for audio book and music delivery. I'm not an Apple customer and don't plan to be. So, yeah, this CP/AA...

I'm not a trailer-towing guy usually, but that is a great plan by Rivian!

Come on, man, can't something just be fun? There are plenty of people (like me) who like watching vehicles being driven to the edge of their performance envelope. It doesn't need to be freighted with real world consequence. It's a sizzle reel. It's fun. Lighten up a bit.

I get the frustration with delays (I'm impatient too); but I don't understand when people say, "Rivian promised me that they would...." I've been a pre-order holder since 11/26/2018. Rivian has never once promised me a delivery date. They said that they hoped to start producing vehicles in...

1164 days and counting for me! ? Nah, I'm not worried about it. I'm currently scheduled to get my R1T in March/April. That works for me. I don't have any urgent need to get into a new vehicle. I'm just excited to be moving from an ICE truck to an electruck. It would be different if there were...

Welcome, man. Hope you have fun hanging out on the forum and geeking out on Rivian stuff (and other associated craziness). Sounds like the Rivian will meet a lot of your requirements. Not all, but a pretty good amount. You know, you mentioned the Lightning frunk. I've heard a number of other...

HIGH-RES LIMESTONE! Holy crap, ya'll, Bigfoot is REAL!

Great graphic. I hadn't seen this before.

I don't know what to think about this article. It appears to come from a single source that is presumably employed by Samsung SDI. There aren't any indications that any information was sought from Rivian. The implication of the article is that Samsung SDI were the reasonable party and Rivian...

LOL! This is such a ridiculous case of predatory litigation, I can't even.... I hesitate to break out the old chestnut, "This is what is wrong with this country these days!" But, this is kinda what's wrong, to at least some degree. SMH.

Hopefully in March we'll start to see hundreds of R1Ts out in the wild (and a handful of R1Ss). ?
