There is actually less than 6 R1S. Rivian lists the same R1S 3 times with Standard, S+, Large pack. Depends of what tire and motor combo are on the actual car. Current batteries have S/S+/L software configurable depending on what someone buys. Rivian needs to hurry up and just release...

https://www.instagram.com/baliconstruction/p/C6zlh8Mv7Gg/?hl=en&img_index=1 Construction company posted some more pictures of the outside and inside. That place is looks so nice. It's a great win for the Groveland community to have such a beautiful site in town. Let's hope it translates...

RJ said in his interview with Bernstein that about 70% of the cost savings was from supplier pricing negotiation. I can believe it. In the auto business, when no name unproven company (Rivian 7 years ago) comes to you and ask to develop and manufacture a custom part, most large suppliers...

All good stuff and nothing too unexpected. Rivian folks already mentioned a lot of of these customer facing improvements long ago. I'm waiting for the announcement of captains chairs as the "one more thing" moment of the refresh. Amber rear turn signals would be one small thing but make a...

I think those rims are the equivalent of the steel rim you used to get on the lowest trim cars, back in the day :cool: . The trim that had the hand crank windows and manual door locks when everyone already had power everything. It's Rivians way to shame you into paying for the upgraded wheels...

There is actually only 1 red available. The existing Standard and Standard+ cars are software locked Large batteries. They are listing the same car with three different battery options that can be configured. Some cars with the 20"AT tires won't show with the Standard battery since Rivian...

Ben and I aren't that different after all... ✅ Rivian R1S ✅ Flannel jacket ✅ Gray t-shirt OK...that's probably where our similarities end. I don't even have Nikes that fancy.

Claire McDonough During the first quarter, we produced 13,980 vehicles and delivered 13,588 vehicles, which represented the primary driver of the $1.2 billion of revenue we generated. Our first quarter results did not include any meaningful regulatory credit sales. Based on discussions with...

What kind of phone do you have? Could Rivian customer support remotely open the door, after you verify your identify of course? Not sure that helps you start up the car or not.

Looking forward to seeing how Rivian operates this site. As far as I know, it's their first wholly owned location with gas station style convenience store, bathroom, retail space. It will be run by Rivian employees. Having driven through Groveland many times, all they need is a nice clean...

Here is a more detailed article. https://www.heraldnet.com/news/tesla-driver-on-autopilot-caused-fatal-highway-522-crash-police-say/ He was driving a 2022 Model S. I wonder if that one had the radar activated or not. Foolish man knew he was behind a motorcycle and activated Autopilot/FSD...

I'm pretty sure they're going to drop the camp speaker as standard equipment. Maybe they'll include it on a new top trim. They'll put it in the shop for around $400 would be my guess. They'll also upgrade the phone charging pad to something that works better. RJ has already stated this...

This is one of the easier failures to fix if that make you feel any better. They'll probably just replace the entire drive unit. It should drop out pretty easily with only a few wire harness and cooling hoses to disconnect/reconnect. I hope Rivian has figured out why some rear disconnects on...

Captain's chairs in the R1S would be exciting to anyone who has to haul children around. I can definitely see this as something most people are willing pay a small "Premium" for. I think factory installed running boards are a harder option to manage on an EV. Anytime you make an exterior...

Refreshed vehicles are supposed to be thousands cheaper to manufacture. I would think they want to sell as many of those as possible. CFO mentioned they will be positive margin by end of 2024. This makes sense that they don't want any pre price hike sales in Q4. Timing all lines up with...

It's great (for customers) that Rivian is letting people apply the discount across all configurations. Dual Motor, Standard + seems like a sweet spot. Nice thing about the discount %, the more you upgrade, the more you save. :idea: I wonder how many preorder people are really left and...

80's Honda Civic was the first thing that came to my mind.

Their parts suppliers were not ready in Q4 23. It take a lot of time to validate and then start producing new automotive parts. Even in the call they mentioned that there will be several thousand vehicles produced but not deliverable. They will wait for a new part to be delivered in April.

I think all the rear lights on the Rivian are not very good and kind of hard to distinguish, between braking and turning. I think it's the same set of thin red LEDs used for both brake and turn. I wish Rivian and all other auto manufacturers would make the rear turn signals yellow (amber)...

Annoying that they are forcing people to pay for options like underbody shield if they have no use for it. They should be giving people every opportunity to cut out unwanted costs and choose the options we truly want.
