Especially when those two vehicles went to the CEO and CFO. (Edited to clean up an error).

My favorite part about the Reddit thread is the owners comments that reservation was done “a while ago….to the point where I was taken aback when I got the ping….” You mean it’s possible to preorder a car, not obsess over its delivery date and then……just get it? Weird. ?

Understanding that your deposit is in on the S, which did you like more? All things being equal.

That makes so much more sense. Ha. I mostly agree with those numbers.

Respectfully, I think expecting Rivian to go from dead standstill to full capacity in six months is…….overly optimistic, let’s say. They are not going to be operating at max capacity of 60-65k vehicles annually by June 2022, IMO. So if the rest of your numbers are correct, and it takes...

Panel alignment people aren’t going to love that.

I have thought the same thing. A few inches of extra storage space seems completely inconsequential. I would pick the 7 seater all day, just to have them. I still cannot believe they are priced the same.

This. So much this.

Sorry, this is what I was referring to: Model Drive Battery (kWh) EPA Range 0-60 mph (sec) Top Speed 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 SR RWD (19") SE RWD 58.2 220 mi (354 km) 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 LR RWD (19") SE RWD 77.4 303 mi (488 km) 115 mph (185 km/h) 2022 Hyundai Ioniq 5 LR AWD (19")...

I probably should have included an emoji to make clear I was just needling you. I fully understand my comment applies to things far bigger than Tesla. Having said all of that, and without any comment on the Cybertruck itself, Tesla’s fanboys would drive anything offered to them by Elon...

244 miles for all wheel drive long range? Meh. Not good enough, considering it’s size. IMO.

I see large masses of people collectively doing head scratching things allllllllllllll the time. Citing a mob as a basis for validation…….not from me.

I agree with you, at least to an extent. I would also guess Q3 of ‘23 for recent preorders. I think Rivian can probably shave some time off from their current projections, but months, only.

I bet some of the dates are going to be much later than people expect. I can already feel the angst amongst the people that get “June-July 2023” projections.

I have to ask - if Rivian released its S1 right after your deposit and then amended it several times thereafter, and in all of its disclosures it indicates needing until the end of 2023 to clear the current reservation backlog, why would you (or anyone for that matter) expect a recent preorder...

Nothing will surprise me related to EV distribution, especially as it relates to Rivian. So I agree with you there. My comment is more related to expectations. Will we see some specific configurations being delivered before earlier placed reservations? Sure. I would fully expect that. But...

And that’s fair. If someone is projecting a conservative estimate, I get it. But it’s one thing to cut a few months off in hoping Rivian is being conservative and thinking you will get a vehicle in mid 2023, versus cutting a year off in hopes of getting a vehicle in late 2022. The former is...

Agree with this. If Rivian is telling the world (through its S-1 amendments) that its backorder will not clear until the end of 2023, I do not understand why anyone would think, having just placed an order in the last week/month, that he/she will take receipt of a vehicle before late 2023/early...

That’s too simple and reasonable. We can’t make things easy, you know.

You know the owner of that R1T walked out of the store and thought “who on Earth parked next to me way over there?”
