Not sure that color selection really plays any role. On our recent factory visit there were a number of vehicles of various colors at various stages of completion. My understanding is that they can change paint colors on the fly, so they're not running batches of one color at a time. There are...

I have never found myself in a situation where I could even have accidental eye contact with a Tesla driver.

Yangwang? Is Ted Nugent their new head of marketing?

The term of art is "de-spec." When I worked for a large retailer our buyers would use this when the pricing from the Chinese manufacturer exceeded the projected cost. They'd shave off elements of the original product to get the item to the targeted price.

Wow, and I was pissed that our rates increased to 9.7 cents/kWh.

We were at an EA charger a few days ago an one of these pulled up alongside. Gorgeous inside but a good deal less capacious. They were wowed by the size of the frunk and the rear capacity of the R1S relative to the fairly limited space in the Mercedes.

The best rooftop panels are currently about 400W and I doubt Fisker's implementation of solar in their automotive rooftop can achieve that level of efficiency, not to mention inconsistent weather, covered/shaded parking and a myriad of other concerns.

The wife has always picked the most remote spot to park. Now that she has the R1S I'm surprised that she hasn't deployed boat fenders on the exposed sides.

My wife was able to pair her R1S on the first try. By "first try" I mean the first time she ever tried to pair one herself without just telling me to do it.

They had a crazy push to get cars delivered in the past two weeks. Our delivery was two weeks ago and the rep who handled our demo said he was booked solid through year-end. After seeing no R1S in our neighborhood we passed one a couple of days ago and he stopped to chat. Received it on the...

It's already in their interest because they can get $$ from the infrastructure bill.

We took our 39-hour old R1S to the mall this morning while my wife shopped for a few last-minute gifts. I dropped her off and pulled up to the EA charging station to see if I could top off the battery for our drive up to Wisconsin. The chargers are only a few months old. 1 of 6 appeared to be...

That's what U-Haul/Home Depot rental trucks are for. For under $100 all your problems are solved.

Picked up our new R1S at the Chicago Service Center yesterday. I went over everything pretty carefully after reading through posts here and was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the build. No unevenness of gaps, everything looked and felt tight. And while it's possible that I'm just a lot...

I was shifted to Jan-Feb 2023 a few months ago. Got an 8-Step email last week and before I could complete it I got another email on Saturday that my R1S was ready for delivery. Had to scramble to transfer the funds. Picked it up last night.

Just wired my payment to Rivian for R1S delivery tomorrow. Account is depleted by my heart is full.

On my factory visit a couple of weeks ago my manager friend said they're on target for 25,000 (including the Amazon vehicles which appeared to be everywhere on the site).

Well, in an unexpected twist I just got an email that my vehicle is ready for Monday delivery. Just have to transfer the payment in the morning. That was quick.

Mexican flag.

Unfortunately the R1S won't pay for itself.
