Ford's head of EVs explains how the new F-150 Lightning conquers range anxiety (msn.com) Hope R1T/S beats F-150 and also underpromise and overdeliver. Rivian still not announcing range details and when 800V/350Kw charging will be available for LE is very concerning.

Happy belated birthday DuckTruck!

I hope Rivian splits the invoice into two, one for the vehicle and one for the accessories so we can get away with 80K tax credit limit

i just placed reservation for Ioniq 5, have strong doubts that my LE-R1S will be delivered in 2021.

Agreed, its free market. Sooner or later its better to create separate category and allow forum admins to get some cut on the transaction.

LOL... we all share the same level of frustrations. Let's be practical, June delivery is not happening at this time based on level of information shared.

They may deliver few (may be 10) to keep June delivery promise.

Agreed, don't think there will be any CT in 2021. Also, they need to fix battery manufacturing for 4680 to scale up. Believe Elon, in Q1 earnings call, mentioned 4680 volume manufacturing is 12 to 18 months away. So 20-25k volume production immediately is not to going to happen.

I would be surprised if they deliver R1S in August, my gut tells me to expect 1-2 months of additional delays.

I chose Test Drive, EPA numbers and see all the colors. Don't think I can purchase/finalize without seeing in person and test drive. My wife keep asking me how can you buy a 80K car from a new company with no track record. So we have to see it in person before finalizing.

Great find. One more item cleared in my pre-buy checklist. Warranty is better than Tesla, don't know how it compares to Lucid. Link to tesla warranty: Vehicle Warranty | Tesla

Noticed a small screen below the vents in center console at 20 sec mark in the video. Like newer Tesla S/X, seems R1S/T will also have 3 screens two in front and one in second row.

I will not finalize my LE without seeing and test driving. Not going to spend 75k+ in a first edition vehicle from a brand new company. Tbc, I like Rivian but not mad enough to spend 75k+ without seeing the vehicle in person.

It would be great if they allow launch edition holders an option to buy before IPO. AirBnB allowed their hosts to participate in IPO .

The video is really cool. I was one of the very early Lucid Air reservation holder and canceled it after knowing the price is $160k+ and the cheaper version is available only in 2022. Hope Rivian can ramp up their communications, announce their showroom locations and start test drive soon.

Good to see R1S.... with 22'' wheels. My reservation is for R1S LE with 22'' inch wheels.

Don't think I'm ready give more data to google. I will never buy a car that uses Android Auto at any cost, both Google and car company need to clearly state their privacy policy, data usage by google, sharing of data with third parties etc.

Happy to finally see a R1S. Rivian Blue looks amazing.

Deal breakers: (LE R1S) No ability to test drive Interior dimensions: Second row legroom, based on data seems to be small. Need to see it in person before making purchase Charging infrastructure Potential deal breakers: Good financing (low APR) or leasing option Hoping 300+ means 330-350...

Agreed, don't think there will be price drop. Hopefully they can speed up production and deliveries with more cash. Also, would be nice if they can throw free goodies to LE holders.
