No one said to enter orders manually, I'm not sure where you got that from. But there's a difference between having an actual queue of orders (which is what you're talking about) vs sending out a generic batch based on just order date & location (which is what Rivian has done so far). Both are...

I'm not getting my hopes up for this "feature". I'm pretty sure it'll just be a computer generated batched window based on order date and location that they run once a week/month/whatever. It would be great if it meant they had gone through and assigned a queue to their preorders, and were...

One thing I'm not sure people noted in the "we've seen truckloads of R1Ts" is the fact that Rivian has to distribute hundreds of R1Ts to their service centers/various areas for demo drives, service loaners, showcars, etc.. This is just an absolute necessity for them to reach the scale they are...

That calculator most definitely does not correctly account for ambient temperature. If you switch it from 70F to 30F you only lose 10 miles of range, when in reality you're going to lose at least 15%. At the same time jumping just from 65 to 70 loses you 20 miles of range? It's a cool little...

I tend to disagree with this idea. It may be 7%, but it's 7% of the most vocal & eager to share. I'd also wager this forum has a proportionately large % of early reservation holders. So while you are correct that there would be 10-12x more deliveries than reported here, at least, that...

I believe that's referring to supply chain or QC or fixes, not any sort of redesign or anything that would require retesting of the entire car.

Not sure where you heard that. The R1S is finalized and EPA values released. They have at least two production R1S' built and delivered.

Rivian is already going through massive issues producing cars, quality control, and communicating accurately with customers. The amount of "RJ" you see in the replies shows just how similar Rivian is to Tesla. A startup struggling to figure out how to actually produce & sell cars, led by a...

His huge, huge following would probably disagree. Anyway, cool video.

Everyone knows you can put together a much, much, much better camp kitchen system for $5k on your own and just store it in the gear tunnel, right? Just checking.

Why? Lithium is really nasty stuff and car plants cause all sorts of problems. An Amazon distribution center is just a warehouse.

It's news that Rivian is attempting to increase production?

I fully expect Rivian to follow in Tesla's footsteps here. We already know they plan to use subscription services to lock features of the car and everything mentioning service explicitly states you're to use their service center or mobile service.

Is the goal of this thread to pat Rivian on the back for using an outdated system or try to pretend it's not outdated? 800v and 900v have a ton of benefits and can charge much faster more reliably. This has been proven in real world applications, vs the selective theoretical science you're...

In a perfect world, yes. Unfortunately every EV on the market would score well below average in any test of reliability, customer satisfaction, or servicing and there's no evidence to suggest Rivian will change that. This isn't a Tesla issue, this is an EV issue. The charging network is a...

You don't really "gain" much battery from downhill sections, it's more that you get those sections for free. Regen is limited in how much energy it can absorb at any one time to avoid stressing the battery, so you don't get a massive boost from downhill sections vs any other braking. It maxes...

Good!! I'm sick of these overly optimistic videos of the Rivian! I know many on this forum want it to be a perfect vehicle but it absolutely will not be. I'd rather see someone that wants to hate it tell me the worst possible things about it than a fanboy tell me how cool it is. We all know...

I gotta say.. maybe TFL did have a legitimate beef. If this is the quality of video they can put out on a Rivian, I wish they would have gotten invited to earlier events. I know they've caught a lot of slack for being upset about it but man, these last couple videos on the R1T from them have...

The 7-day return policy is a trick. You still pay all taxes, registration, sales fees, etc.. they just refund you the base MSRP of the vehicle. You'd always just sell it instead. As for trading in vs privately selling, the sales tax credit often makes up the difference vs privately selling and...

You're going to get better or worse charging curves depending on the charger. Some chargers are fast, some are slow. I tend to believe the R1T/S will have an average charging curve similar to what TFL experienced, for all the credit Rivian gets it really is using a now obsolete 400v system...
