Scaringe is described by one of his earliest advisors as being as much of a manufacturing nerd as he is an automotive nerd. He also seems less interested in reinventing things unnecessarily or setting goals before understanding what the realistic time frames are. There will be bumps, but you...

Alternative vehicle? Perhaps the L5G. The Lincoln 5th-tier-skateboard Golf cart. https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/28/21240212/ford-lincoln-cancel-rivian-suv-ev-coronavirus-pandemic-investment

Well, now I'm worried about supply chains stretched too thin.

2+ years is a lot of time to refine. Maybe not this but I suspect there will be some surprises when ordering becomes available.

I wasn't following Rivian when this broke but it's very interesting. Note the R2R which has resurfaced recently (this is year-old-news FYI). It's now understood that the number identifies the class of skateboard. So it would seem they're only planning on 2 skateboards for the first 5 years or...

Am I missing anything on the cabin storage options? * No glove compartment (awesome - legroom is better, IMO) * Pullout drawers under the seats * Pockets in the front doors * Storage under the back seats in the low and mid-range options * Paneled compartment and wireless recharger on the center...

I'll be trading in a 2015 Mazda CX-9 GT. It's surprisingly agile for a 200" long vehicle. Now I have to figure out what I'm going to do to get this 2001 Civic out of my hair until the DMVs reopen so I can deal with the title I lost. Pretty nice deal though. Just shy of 80k miles so they could...

It's a pretty wide clearance range IIRC. I think 8-14". Not sure what kneel mode clearance.

I don't think anybody's expecting to see the R2R before the others have been out for at least a year. 500hp is interesting though. It must be a much smaller car for performance to be noteworthy compared to their first generation.

Yeah, I took that as an official color reveal/tease. I wish they'd just show us some completed trucks in new colors already. I love staged office footage. Like what are they actually doing with the swatches? We have one from our office where somebody's pointing at the single word "business" on...

@Rivian That seems like a problem a high-tech adjustable air-suspension truck ought to be able to solve for you.

I'd never even heard of a VehiCROSS. Those things look neat. Scoop: The Rivian R2R Will Be A 500-HP Rally Wagon https://carbuzz.com/news/scoop-rivians-next-product-will-blow-tesla-away Rivian's third EV will be a powerful, capable rally-inspired wagon. Leading up to the coronavirus-spawned...

That's weird. Looks like they edited. I remember reading an actual quote from Scaringe saying "well-equipped" with the electrochromic roof. Maybe they replaced the quote because "electochromic" isn't a term you run into every day?

They were saying 90k way back. In a January Reuters article they said there would be a price drop and 69k was more the price of a loaded mid-range. I think it's going to be around 50, 60, and 70k for base models. About 10k more for loaded models not counting special packages like a camping...

Sounds good to me.

Did RJ just do a little happy dance while talking about the flashlight?

I am not getting these e-mails. What address is it from?

I totally agree and appreciate that about them. Still wouldn't mind cheesy little color squares I can click on that make the R1T in the rectangle change color though.

They're not known for overpromising but the configurator is the one thing that's had its date adjusted a few times. From what I've heard (I'm a web developer), they may have been going a little too fancy with it. Like to the point where it would not be fun/fast to add/remove features as business...
