As much as I wish that was the case, it's actually QNX w/ unreal engine

Hopefully this will shock Rivian out of its communications blackout and actually start communicating to customers. In the meantime, maybe it's time for me to buy a holdover car?

Oh yeah, gaudy as fuck, but I still want Steelies like those. Because, why not?

I also kinda wanna roll them on steelies like these

Get the 20 inchers with the Hakkapeliitta LT3 studded/studdable tire.

Having done plenty of production ramp (from an office work/factory management perspective), this 200/wk is just a step, and probably not at FP yet. If they're able to hit 200 wk, they will just build more as the mfg, assembly, and QA steps get more in sync.

The efficiency gains of a heat pump vs resistive heat as a % of battery pack doesn’t matter as much when the battery is f**king big. The cascades aren’t that far. There is no situation where the worst case isn’t just hitting up an EA station for a few minutes won’t solve. Even going to chelan...

Given that I live in the dead center of Seattle, I don't have a problem with our current full size SUV (Mercedes GL/GLS) all over Seattle. We don't hesitate to drive it to Capitol Hill, Fremont, SLU, Ballard, etc all the time. yes it will be tight, sometimes you'll have to hunt just an extra...

BTW, not tracking this thread entirely, but have a funny anecdote about the power windows. when we did our first mile test drive, the auto up/down switches were working sporadically and random between the windows.

It’s fine, nothing aggressive perceived . I think the overall perceived value might change as more of these announcements and timing come out. That said, the pricing I’m willing to part with is my personal value, of course; and not the price I’m willing to pay. I personally wouldn’t pay an...

I think the running rate is at least 20k. A for now, If someone would ask me what I'd be willing to get paid to part with my reservation, I'm currently at 60k per vehicle (I have an R1S and R1T each on order for 2022 delivery) due it's skyrocketing value prop vs the Silverado and F150L.

LOL. Wait, you're serious? Not gonna happen. If the F150L has shown, it's gonna be at least 70k-80k for a 400 mile range version. Because, they will have enough demand for it.

R1S LE - July-Sept 22 (per earlier email), ordered when LEs opened up in 2020. I preordered to take a look at the configurator for fun. R1T Adventure - Oct-Dec 22 (per today’s email), ordered July 2021. test drive was awesome though

Come on. Nobody ever calls it production hell. It’s just any other day in supply chain struggles with ramping to full production. “Production hell” makes EM sound like he had no fucking clue how supply chains work. (Source: I used to manage a factory for a tech company and did production...

Your butt won't get dirty sitting on it. Groceries won't roll out when you open it. That's good enough for me.

And “Works” is very different than working well.

Then you obviously don’t work for my company. We still pull this shit with external consumer facing products. Yet we’re still worth trillions in market cap. We have multiple multi-billion (2b plus ) user products that are famously overly complicated. I work with multiple ex-Tesla folks, one...

LOLOLOL. Holy shit. If you work for a FAANG, younshould know that needless complexity is like a FAANG forte! We currently have 200 SWEs making a needless dashboard that the Product Divisions have already stated they don’t want. That’s 200 swes that make 300k-600k TC each spending over a year...

Yes that’s possible. COP near 2 on modern efficient air source heat pumps at around 30°F and drops to around 1 at around 15 °F on most modern air source heat pumps. Your theoretical values are just that….theoretical. Heat exchanger size correlates with efficiency and cars have packaging size...

It absolutely does. I work for a FAANG company. One of the most valuable companies in the world. Everything we do is so myopically Bay Area centric, it’s hilarious
