If you buy next month hypothetically, only intending to resell at a higher price, I support Rivian's ability/desire to cancel the sale. Rights aren't being curtailed. You can choose to accept/decline the hypothetical (or not so hypothetical) contract Rivian is offering. This...

Have FE interior. No guide contact. May/June delivery indication. In South Carolina. 6/2019 R1T preorder. You?

Not 100% sure I know what you mean by "this" in the first sentence. If you have a change of heart, financial difficulties, ok by me to resell at market value. I also think its ok for Rivian to limit sales to actual users of their product initially, ex some circumstances, and not to...

I’m ok if there is a change of heart or financial hardship. But…on the other hand, I’m sure there are plenty of people (hand raised) willing to help any court/legal effort to halt scalping. Scalping isn’t really creating any value. Usually just a drag on the economy. In this case it would...

Survive? OK, sure I agree, though maybe not as a standalone company. I’m skeptical, if fine means Rivian will justify the IPO pricing.

Bumping this article, given the shocking price increase. For the next ~5 years its likely Rivian will be capacity constrained, so the increase surely helps cash flow. The way this price increase was implemented may indicate a sudden strategy change to less focus on growth and instead faster...

Yet again. States really need to get out this loop of competing with each other

What does it take to get a RAV 4 prime now? Can they be ordered from a dealer at MSRP? What does timing look like?

I look at it differently. It appears they can sell all they can make now. There is no excess production capacity in the foreseeable future. Sales/deliveries not made last year, not made in January, Feb, March etc are gone forever. I agree, existing pre orders aren't likely to...

Assuming I read the launch delivery survey results spreadsheet corrrectly, over 500 of those results were for LE's. Seems a high response rate for 5000. Anyway, based on that, I'd speculate more than 5000. I predict somewhere in the ballpark of half of the order number mentioned pre...

Thanks. The (entry level) design software I use approximates circles "with not enough multisided" polygons (I think that is the way to describe), if that is what you mean. It is similar to Tinkercad, which appears to do something similar. I also tried to put more detail into the sketch of...

Almost 32 months waiting (though well behind many others), prepared a R1T drink coaster for 3d printing to distract my waiting a little....... My printer's resolution and my less than mediocre design skills were a bit of a limitation.... https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5236941

I follow a Kennesaw St (Georgia) economics professor on twitter, J C Bradbury, initially because he published some interesting stuff on baseball. But he currently studies govt incentives a lot, and is pretty negative on the return on incentives that Georgia agencies have provided for sports...

I'd really like to see a lot more focus on conversion capacity, battery production in the US.

CP was a "must have" for my last two ICE vehicle purchases, fortunately most ICE vehicles have it now. If there was something similar to the R1T with CP, I'd choose it for sure. But there's nothing I can get in a similar time frame/price, and "EV" and "zoom" are a higher priority than...

Side note. I"m a fan of Consumer Reports "Talking Cars" Podcast. Its a lot more fun to listen to than you might expect from CR. They also talk about EV's a good bit. CR has been testing the iD4, seem really frustrated with the user interface. Episode 341...

For me, its not "CarPlay" exactly, but that particular technology/interface does work well enough for me, and most car mfrs that have competition include it because customers want it. CarPlay does have some issues, in-app navigation needs to be much better. But I'm skeptical Rivian can...

I expect so. The tailwind sensor looks like one of those two piece magnetic sensors used in alarm systems for windows and doors. Very different from the myQ sensor I had that was one piece stuck to the garage door. But I’d have not expected winds to impact either.

You can adjust some, longer, but not closer. I do get a notification when the door closes on my phone and watch. I get the notification at the same point every time so now that I’m used to seeing it every time I think I would miss it. But I understand not quite the same as watching it...

Have seen a few posts related to Homelink, MyQ, garage door openers. Wanted to mention Tailwind as an option. I added a MyQ sensor to my garage 3-4 years ago, then replaced with a Tailwind (gotailwind.com) sensor ~a year ago. MyQ was ok, but not as reliable as I'd like using my iphone to...
