Or an Ioniq 5/6 or Kia EV6 or the upcoming EV9.

Early 2019 max pack holdout preorder holder here: Aug-Sept 23 -> Nov-Dec 23. Not at all surprised.

Basically useless for reading license plates: I'll be installing a dash camera if I ever get my max pack. Too bad Rivian has also removed the 12v underneath the dashboard.

Good point. An interesting theory! I'm also keenly waiting for the investor call.

Almost definitely they're just regurgitating old information. My estimated delivery is Aug-Sept. I'd bet money it won't happen. Don't sell your existing vehicle or liquidate investments or something in anticipation of delivery based on that CS is telling you. In Dec 2020 CS was confident they...

I fully expect another 6 to 12 month delay before the cancel the max pack for real. They keep coming up with more reasons it's a worse deal.

Hey Motortrend, did you charge it back up at 350kW?

Don't worry, if they change their mind and it goes down $600 I'm sure you'll get a refund cheque in the mail. /s

Any idea if Rivian supports UWB? Seems like an obvious thing to include, but then again I thought the same about 800V charging.

I'm seeing lots of Launch Edition R1Ts in the Western Canada shop, and am curious if anyone knows where they're coming from since it was a limited availability configuration. Are these just super old stock that got lost and then found? Returns?

Rivian has historically considered vehicles in the hands of employees and their spouses as "customer deliveries", so I wouldn't hold my breath. I'm also keen to get some unbaiased information and hoping there's included some of the long awaited hardware improvements from gen 1 vehicles (eg...

My plan is to wait until 3rd party reviewers have tested the dual motor, and max pack configuration. I don't need a new car today. I'm still holding out a bit of hope that Rivian is doing something extra for the max pack 10k+ upcharge other than just a small battery increase. Seems crazy...

The latest kick in the nuts: currently it seems that if you want/need a max pack, you loose out on a bunch of driving modes. For me, losing out the rock crawl mode with the fine throttle control might be a deal breaker :(...

I think I too was accidentally invited to the shop??????? ? Never got a follow-up email though. I didn't bother calling them, I want my max pack.

R1T

New estimate here in Victoria, BC. Very early max pack R1T preorder: Aug-Sept 2023

I haven't seen complaints about this recently, so hoping that Rivian has made an improvements since launch, and not just cost cutting.

Not quite as catchy as Tank Turn, but I bet it will actually be delivered: Finally a true EV off-road competitor to the Rivian, aside from the massive Hummer.

Maybe add a dashcam in the footwell?

Great news for all the Leaf owners out there! Bad news for any fast charging vehicles. At least this is probably a good incentive to keep chargers running at peak power. Sounds like this only grants approval to charge per kWh, not mandates it? It will be interesting to see if it gets rolled...
