Total waste of time if this is bicycles. This market is completely saturated. Presumably -- to fit the Rivian ethos -- they'll try the MTB space. But all of the high end MTB makers are already making fantastic eMTBs, and people who buy those would view a Rivian bike as a gimmick.
Can't help but notice that all Rivian social media has gone dark since they updated the timing. Even LinkedIn! The company (correctly) believes that anything it posts in the near term is going to get flooded with angry comments.
August 2021. Limestone + Forest Edge. 10 miles from a SC. Bumped from July-Sept 2023 to Jan-June 2024. Dammit. Will hold onto the reservation for now but time to go shopping, they are just going to push it back again.
yep my update is as predicted. Have to assume it will actually be late 2024. Put down reservations on the ex90 and Polestar 3 today. Test driving the iX on Sunday.
Someone on the Facebook R1S page posted a hack that looks at the metadata on the site to show the estimated date. Hopefully it isn't right because I'm seeing a bump from July-Sept 2023 to Jan-June 2024. Very irritating.
I don't have a guide assigned, so this is a bit of a tangent. But several months ago the chat feature on the website was somewhat useful. I asked for a First Mile and clearly had a real person trying to help. Now all you can get is canned copy-paste answers that aren't even responsive. I just...
I've looked at the Limestone + FE combo through a window and thought it worked. I do know that Rivian's head of design has this combo on his R1S, which is a good sign.
I am probably alone on this, but I really dislike the dark 22's. In person they are really glossy and I think that makes them...
I go back and forth all the time, but currently set up for Limestone + Forest Edge with the 20" brights. I'm dead set on Forest Edge, but struggle on how best to match it. White is probably best but I've never wanted a white car, and my wife won't allow double-green. Brights vs dark on the...
Nope. And it won't be unless we start to learn more about the inner workings through an FTC action or something along those lines.
The new memberships are likely people who had been on Gab and Truth Social. But in any event, it doesn't help Twitter if advertisers are fleeing--which has...
No doubt that Tesla will continue to sell every vehicle it can make for the next few years. That's the state of the supply chain, true of EVERY SINGLE ev maker out there. The reality is that there haven't been good alternatives to Tesla, but those days are over. Elon has positioned himself as...
Since my last post was deleted, I'll say it again, I know many people who have cancelled their Tesla orders because they think Elon has turned into a total jackass. Hopefully that isn't too "political" even though it is exactly the question posed by this thread. I also know many people who have...
I'm a November 2021 reservation. Glacier White, Forest Edge, AT dark, no UBS. I was between this config and Limestone + Ocean Coast. I suspect the ocean coast would have bumped me into the next window. Have my first mile next week and intend to pepper them with questions.
I'm heading over there for an R1S test drive next week. Hopefully will see a lot R1S getting prepped. I swung past a few months ago and there were tons of trucks. Will report back.
