Whoops. accidentally voted and can't unvote.

I've never gotten a ticket in seattle, california or anywhere for not having a front plate either. If you drive a racy car, they will do it. if you drive a premium car, they won't.

Can you do that? I want to immediately drop it off to get full PPFed (for off-roading) and Tinted, and some of the shops I’m looking at are on the east side. This would simplify things a bit actually

In the past 10 years, I’ve purchased 5 cars without ever bothering to test drive any of them. Order/purchased sight unseen. I think the R1T was the first one to break that streak. But the temptation was too much.

Whew. That’s great to hear. To be honest, on nicer cars; WSP, SPD, etc (as well as Oregon and CA law enforcement) don’t really pull you over for it.

(Quickly googling distance to Bellevue SC.) Well, I guess mine is getting driven in. quick question. Did they install front plate brackets? I’m not a big fan of front plates on my cars.

Congrats!

Is this a seattle Rivian preorder circlejerk? (J/K). We should do a get together once enough people get theirs and do a forest road trip!

Am I invited to this? I’ll even make an exception once and do burgermaster. ? (though seriously, I like Red Mill and lil woodys these days). I’ll reciprocate and show the R1S once I take delivery this summer.

I might have mentioned elsewhere, I used to be a pricing and profitability guy. So here's my speculation. My guess is that their OPEX is high right now, and they wanted to be margin positive from the outset with a positive contribution margin on their cars. I'm assuming that the vehicle...

I’m sticking with the R1S because of its unique market position. The R1T I’m sorta waffling on. It’s hard to buy 180k of cars in 1 year. May take my friends Lightning reservation which is slated for 2023. But it’s not as unique as the R1S due to increasing number of competitors sentiment is...

My sentiments exactly. I might still get both vehicles since i can afford both of them. But I did go test a Model Y today due to how irritated I was. We'll drive the R1S and use it as an acceptable form of transportation. The R1T might be replaced with something else though (Model Y...

If you got this stuff within the last 90 days, check if your credit card has return protection.

I don’t understand the need for comparison here. They have an internal feature roadmap that nobody that’s not an employee here knows. Every car is full of trade offs, and no car is perfect. Don’t buy one based on rumors or promises of what it’ll have. You have to assume what you get now is...

Most if not all of the deliveries these next 6 Months will be launch edition cars. The 22 or 20 options are free upgrades. If you have an LE, no big whoop. If you don’t, I’m sure they’ll be available by the time you get yours in 2023/2024

Good point. Raw materials like that wouldn't impact this year. Now, 50-70 weeks out; it'll be a spot/market pricing problem without a 2nd source.

No so much saber rattling from the US as much as it's a scream for help from the democratically elected leadership in Ukraine who wants to be more European. That said, Russia's actions; and the EU and UK imposing sanctions probably has more effect than anything the US is doing (for now). As of...

This sounds self inflicting, but the trick is to feed these issues to multiple analysts and short seller analysts firms to push this subject via articles and with Rivian during their quarterly investor call. This can force their hand on being more open, but will come with some financial pain.

I'm still trying to decide if I want to pull a trigger on a Model Y Performance as a "holdover" car for a few months - year for the R1T (currently Q4'22 delivery). I'm also guessing the R1S I have on preorder won't be coming this summer. BTW, I actually am a Supply Chain expert having done GA...
