  1. Is there a Rivian wave/signal thing when we see each other on the road?

    Congrats on your new R1S! I also have it in Forest Green with the 21 inch wheels; you'll love it. Quick question for you (not to hijack your thread): I'm driving from Marin County to Portland next month. How did you find the I-5 charging infrastructure on your trip?
  2. Let's talk Tesla Supercharger parking etiquette...

    I haven't read this entire thread to see if anyone else has the same thoughts as me, but I may stick with EAs and RANs for a while to let the dust settle. If anything, maybe the non-Tesla charging centers will be a little less busy as Rivian and Ford owners flock to the Tesla SCs. I'll be...
  3. Apple investing in Rivian?

    I think it’s very unlikely that Apple would buy Rivian. As a mature, publicly-traded company, Apple’s stock price is a function of the marketā€˜s perception of Apple’s future earnings. If Rivian were to become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apple, that perception would take a hit over the short to...
  4. R1S demand slowing down?

    I know I'm stating the obvious here, but with all of the euphoria over the R2, R3 and R3X over the past week, let's not forget that Rivian needs to sell a whole lot of R1's over the next couple of years! Rivian is having to walk such a fine line here. I know of one friend who is really excited...
  5. Over 68,000 R2 reservations in less than 24 hours so far

    They would have my $100 if they did that!
  6. R3X Reveal Shocks Even More!!! ?

    I'm in the same boat. I've got SO much work I actually have to get done today, and it's just not getting done.
  7. R3 lower price and smaller than R2 (5" shorter wheelbase). R3X is wider than R3

    So essentially, the base model R2 is going to be a single-motor, non all-wheel drive SUV with a published range of less than 270 miles. There certainly will be a market for this, though, but I wonder if they'll sell more of that model or a two-motor all-wheel drive with 300 miles.
  8. R3 - appeal to R1S owners

    If you own a R1S like I do and are like me, you watched the announcement today more out of curiosity and hopefulness for Rivian's future, as I don't need an R2 - the R1S fills that need for my family. But then, here comes the R3 and the R3X out of left field. Our other car is a 10-year old BMW...
  9. Unpopular opinion: Rivian shouldn’t be running ads

    I agree. I'm surprised at the people who have no idea what Rivian is. I wouldn't be surprised if Rivian is planning on revamping its advertising strategy with the release of the R2. I suspect the R2 will be a little less "adventurous" and a bit more mass market, targeting a slightly different...
  10. Rivian Ambassadorship... and answering "do you think they're [Rivian] going to make it?"

    I live in the SF Bay Area, where there are a lot of Rivians and a lot of people who know of Rivian and express interest in Rivian. I was as my 13-year old son's flag football game this afternoon, and as I turned into the parking lot, I realized that I was one of four Rivians (one T and 3 S's)...
  11. RJ's confidence the past few days

    To the point that all car manufacturers, not just Rivian, are experiencing headwinds, a closely-monitored industry metric is the seasonally-adjusted annual rate (SAAR) of new vehicle sales. Traditionally, a level of 17 million was considered a healthy market. That took a dive during the...
  12. RJ's confidence the past few days

    Excellent point and a great reminder!
  13. Rivian Layoff 10% Staff and Lowers Production Forecast for 2024

    I want to start my post by saying that over the last week, I've fallen back in love with my R1S all over again (and, I had probably fallen out of love with it). I love the new suspension tweaks - All Purpose - Moderate seems to be what I've been looking for. Additionally, as I write this, my...
  14. Rivian Layoff 10% Staff and Lowers Production Forecast for 2024

    Unfortunately (as I imagine you know), the recent CPI and PPI prints were higher than anticipated. Inflation can be crazy difficult to kill, and I don't think the Fed is going to aggressively cut rates until it's confident that its 2% target is close.
  15. Rivian App updated version released for iOS and Android

    I don't know if it's just me, but I was shocked after installing the widget (iOS 17 / iPhone 13) yesterday at how responsive - bordering on instantaneous - my R1S locked and unlocked when tapping the appropriate button on the widget. I woke up this morning and tested out again - instantaneous...
  16. What's your R2 predictions?

    This. There are a lot of Subaru folks who are just itching to buy the right EV. The Model Y isn't it, yet. It just needs to be a bit more rugged and outdoorsy.
  17. iOS app 2.5.1: issue with Charging History

    I took possession of my R1S on 9/16/23. On the Vehicle tab in the Rivian iOS app, when I tap on Energy>History to view all of my past charging sessions, it shows that I had 8 separate charging sessions at home in the month of August, beginning on August 21st. That’s not possible, of course...
  18. Rivian Front Headlights Design

    I for one have always loved the headlights and the entire front end. So many trucks and SUVs and even some cars have such menacing, aggressive-looking fronts, and I think the Rivian's front end is a breathe of fresh air. It's like the front is smiling at me, and the headlights are a big part...
  19. R2 Product Launch at Laguna Beach on March 7th!

    I bet it's simply or primarily the R2 launch. If the primary purpose of the event was to begin selling the R1 in the rest of the world, with a focus on Europe, they would likely have chosen a place other than Laguna Beach.
