HEY!!! Is that launch green!?

"Modern-day vehicles with 21-inch tires include the Lexus LC 500, Tesla Model S, BMW X5 and X7, Porsche 992, Volkswagen Atlas Cross Sport, Audi e-Tron, Lincoln Aviator Grand Touring and Range Rover. " https://www.bridgestonetire.com/size/21-inch/

Rare, not unique.

It was just a media-coordinated short attack. Millions of shares weren't sold because Amazon wants more than one EV provider. The stock almost finished green at close yesterday. Headlines were out talking about the price "plunging" long before close and this was supposed to describe a very...

Nothing about this news suggests Amazon will no longer be using Rivian.

Interesting because Doug has seemed largely uninterested in Rivian until he finally got a chance to actually drive one. He claimed it didn't seem likely Rivian would beat the Hummer to market which was a silly thing to say if you'd been following their progress. You can also tell because he...

Except that so many of these challenges were self-inflicted and in fact easily predicted. You can't tell Musk that decades of highly financially motivated effort went into 100% automation and that he's brought no new compelling thesis to the problem. He's going to try it anyway because he...

Also... I think Motortrend likes it.

I've been surprised how much the legacy manufacturers seem to struggle with range.

Finally, somebody mentions the badass suspension.

That was the original thing I found odd about it.

And still wondering if maybe that was the only option in January 2020. I've become very skeptical of "analysis" like Barclay's in recent months. I think I would have used my debit card if I'd had the option.

I used routing info. It was handled like an electronic check.

It's also startup vs household names, so kind of silly. I don't think anybody at Rivian feels bad about 30k with their first truck of the year award rapidly moving them towards household name status.

Definitely hope Rivian doesn't need more than the disaster it would be for their off road rep to avoid ending up with service horror stories like that going around.

Sure, carplay/aa is a decent-sized miss. Plenty of discussion on that. But non-big-gulp cupholders? Lack of integrated garage door opening? Who the hell cares? I'm happy to discuss the quibbles but it's like you've compiled a list of every miss ever mentioned in otherwise sterling reviews and...

Hummer gets 3 seconds if you activate WTF mode and give it a minute to get ready. It's kinda silly they report that as its official 0 to 60.

You should tell Motortrend about all of your complaints.
