I tried placing order for Lriq but couldn’t go past dealer selection (tried from 2 different machines) and gave up afterwards. The whole ordering process was joke, felt it was marketing ploy to create message sold out in X minutes. Complete waste of time and don’t think I will ever consider GM...
Delivering to customers sooner only can justify their sky high 80B valuation.:cool: Most employees who joined in the past couple of years would prefer crazy returns on their stock options instead of a Rivian Truck/SUV.
Hoping they deliver vehicles to all LE holders first.
Same feeling... Seriously doubt I will have my LE-R1S in 2021. Unfortunately entire auto industry is having issues with supply chain so its hard to blame Rivian. Only thing we can ask is better communication and transparency.
Plaid don’t store or get to see your banking password, once you connect they will get a token from the bank to access your account that’s valid until next password change.
setting up account at plaid and modifying what you share etc is just a spin to convince you.
I have used Plaid service at...
Just to clarify what I meant:
Depending on Plaid service what Rivian (Company X) pays once you connect the account thru plaid, every time when a new transaction is posted to your checking/savings account Plaid will notify Company X about the transaction via webhooks. Most companies use Plaid...
Agreed, Connecting your bank account thru Plaid is one of the worst things as a consumer we can do to our financial privacy.
once connected thru Plaid, companies can regularly get all the transactions, so they can determine how and where we spend money, how we get the money thru the deposits...
90% of my trips are within 100 miles back and forth, considering the fact Tesla is about open up their charging network, upcoming RAN and other charging infrastructure for my needs 300mi is good enough.
I don't want to pay extra $10K, carry extra load (battery weight) and pay penalty on...
After seeing the price of Lyriq, I cancelled my Ioniq5/EV6. I will be placing deposit for Lyriq, based on the videos so far seems its a winner. Hope for 100Kwh battery the range is closer to 350 not 300 miles.
Tesla doesn't raise price for people who already placed the order/deposit. I wouldn't be surprised if Rivian raised the prices, but it should be only for new orders not for people who already placed the deposit.
With 7000 employees, they must be burning cash like hell. Sooner or later Rivian will face the reality if they don't start delivering. Hopefully market is stable enough until their IPO plans and they can raise enough cash to survive for few years.
Glad RJ acknowledged about communication issue...
I was thinking about pre-ordering IX 50 not knowing when my LE-R1S will be delivered (whether its 2021 or 2022 or 2023). The 82+K price point put me off due to upcoming EV incentives plan.
Agree, we wont learn about range and interior this week. If Ford and Hyundai can share range details why not Rivian which is much closer to production. My gut tells me something is not looking good with range/EPA certification hence the delays.
If the range is below 300 and with no 800V/350Kw...
