Using your math as an example: let's say 6 calls per guide, 10 guides, 5 days. That's 300 calls next week. If that means 300 trucks delivered in June (within 30 days of a call), I think that qualifies as expectations met. That said, my guess is there will be quite a few more guides and less...

Think LandRover Discovery and add 6". That's approximately what it will look like. On the interior, it will probably be substantially larger due to the benefits of dedicated EV design.

I'm pretty sure RJ was just saying that on a blue bird day, the panel will appear blue. And on a cloudy day, it will change to clear/transparent. He did, however, leave out some details about the insulation and UV protection offered. That would have been useful.

Just make sure to let them know you have a lead foot! (in all seriousness, I have no idea how people get lucky enough to get these roles)

Order fulfillment is actually much quicker than most seem to think once a car is available and in your area. Production and shipping logistics will be the limiting factor on Rivians delivered in June. My guess is they deliver between 100-200 cars in the first month. My brother bought a car in...

So you're saying the 22"s go offroad? I didn't know that was even permitted. Will have to rethink my configurator choices!

Still lacking information. How am I supposed to know if the tonneau cover is engineered for 4 feet of light Utah powder (1:14 water:snow ratio) or my Mid-Atlantic heart attack special (1:7 ratio)? #dealbreaker

WAIT! A rumor about Launch Green!?!? Where!?! I was out for a run the other day and saw this Chevy Colorado color I didn't know existed. For a moment, I could have sworn I was seeing Launch Green in prior life. About 3 Google searches later, I found it. They called it nothing other than...

To avoid confusion, these investors (Amazon, T Rowe, Ford, Cox, etc) made equity investments in Rivian. These are not loans so Rivian doesn't owe them anything, per se. The investors now own a percentage of Rivian's equity and if Rivian ever pays dividends, they will receive their share. This...

The best information we have to go on is that Rivian continues to assert they will produce all LE vehicles in '21 and begin the next series (max pack, explore, etc) in '22. No one knows the LE number exactly but guesstimates around this forum seem to range from 10-20K. Even if they produce...

Maybe I'm the only one, but I'm not too fussed on 900V architecture. The key for me is that this car will charge 140 miles in 20 minutes with sustained rates over 200kW when the LE is... launched. When they do get to higher voltage architecture enabling the 350kW rates at RAN and EA, this will...

Thanks so much for the writeup, photos and videos you've shared! Did you happen to notice what the finish was on the inside of the gear tunnel door? At some point that was going to have the Chiliwich but recently it's just been plastic.

The point is that this is anecdotal which doesn't hold over any large group and is often the basis of cognitive bias. Insurance companies use statistical evidence. That's not necessarily true. Most insurance companies charge higher rates for people who get moving violations, including speeding...

(continues) Jeff: Actually, one more favor. RJ: What's that? Jeff: I'm going to need your VIN 001 R1T. It's going on a rather adventurous trip and it's going to break some records. RJ: What records? When will we get it back? Jeff: I'm hoping for fastest EV and largest EV payload to exit earth's...

This is a great point and good find. I looked back at a bunch of photos and materials and found none that show the depth of this step at any reasonable angle. That said, this is exactly the kind of detail I don't expect Rivian to miss, especially when they spend so much time discussing their...

This whole time I have been thinking they'd have to offer running boards. No way they wouldn't offer running boards. But maybe they don't, and instead, rely on 'kneel mode'? If they were to offer them, wouldn't we have seen a pre-production vehicle with them fitted by now? I"m sure the guides...

Tik tok goes the clock... even RJ must be awake now. It's 9:15am PT!

Wait, are you sure you're not the guy in the "Long Weekend" video (Wyoming/winter/snow) doing the shuttle runs for strangers?!? One of my favorite things about the R1 vehicles is that they would be equally at home shuttling some friends to the slopes or shuttling them to the opera. I don't...

This will definitely be my daily driver. It will also serve pretty much all other life needs. Groceries, shuttling kids back / forth, taking the bikes to a trail head, the occasional camping trip with some mostly minor offroading, etc. I expect my R1T will be on pavement over 90% of its use...

This truck sure does look good carrying bikes and Maxtrax! Can't imagine why you'd put the Maxtrax on the roof given you've got 68cuft of other storage, but to each his own. Also, bikes travel better in pairs!
