California has a whole lot of chargers...as my delivery comes closer I realize they are everywhere I want to drive in CA...45-60min charging and I can make it to San Diego which also has a huge charging infrastructure when I arrive... I think this will become the status quo for the US in 5...

So, you can't make it from San Jose to Tahoe City on a full charge in your model X? I am about 40 miles closer, so 200 miles +/-

Funny, I think of myself as an "off road guy" and a have a semi-legit 4x4. I recently was in the Sierra Buttes and decided to take a 4x4 only road...Ha! I found myself rock crawling with no space to turn around, no high lift jack if a blew a tire, and way way more hectic than I imagined. 45...

Obviously more range is better, but I recently drove to Yosemite from the SF Bay Area. It was a 5 hour drive with dinner, bathroom breaks, etc. Still way under 250 miles. And I wanted to drive no more. Meaning a 280 mile day is not my cup of tea.... And then guess what? Yosemite has...

I would love LR's colors vs. Rivian's...I like almost everything about the vehicles except the color choices...LR's are so so good compared, and many more options...

:) Back to my original point. I am not disputing the future is uncertain. That’s why we call it investing vs. printing money. Investing is usually uncertain, based on managing risk of the unknowns against released data but *IF* they deliver 100,000 vans by 2025, which is a public available...

I really don't want to be rude here, but not sure where the miscommunication is or why folks are disputing clearly stated documents. Maybe a reading comprehension or stubbornness issue: "As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately 48,390 R1T and R1S preorders in the United States and...

You are coming off pretty strong for being wrong.

Then you miss out on a lot of great early entry opportunities...but everyone has their own strategy.

Do you mean 100,000 x 75,000 to be delivered through 2024? Which would be $7.5bln/4 years. I have no clue what the vans cost or if Rivian is also selling in services or service contracts. Which as I said is a significant portion of of their valuation... Think your information is off :)

Before I evaluate price, I always look at these three metrics (and submetrics within each category): Tech, Timing, Team Almost all investments require some degree of unknowns, but from my seat, reading the S-1, looking at the 30+ year product runway, seeing the reviews, and with a LE on order I...

Yeah, I am a 10 year+ car owner, so when I price options, colors, etc. over 120-144 months they look a lot cheaper :p

Would be interesting to see who is LE vs. not...

If long distance towing is a primary concern, an EV is likely not the best choice...short distances, like 75-100 miles sure great fit, but anything past that and 11K pounds, a diesel sounds like away better option...Powered trailers may change that, or battery tech, but right now, if long...

I wrestle with LG/FE and LG/BM... I love the FE wood color, but two things: sitting inside a green interior for hours is a complete unknown and green/green might be a bit much w/ a sort of out of band color. Black intterior is a known known for me and I am already partial to them.... I really...

You are generally right about software, but pre-release software is something different or even MVP. Getting stuff working and making it easy to debug both without a huge focus on performance can make a huge difference as the code matures. That honeymoon most likely would end down the road...

Different strokes for different folks. I want voice activation for basically everything. Temp, lighting, vents, calls, messages, frunk, locks, Driver+, navigation...reaching down for three level menus while driver on a touchscreen sounds dangerous. Then again I have never driven L2...

I was/am an early adopter of Carplay...the first release was quirky, too simple UI, and Siri made tons of errors. It has taken years to improve, and now it is useful. That said, now it is good, but the design is for small screens...like really small. Rivian has soooo much more real estate...

Lol, if I dd not want to live on the coast I would move to Napa or Lake Tahoe...I kid, but recruiting for senior technical talent off the coasts, either side, is a bit more challenging. But you are correct, lots of people like a smaller town vibe. I have worked with some great engineers in...

Hmmm...Coming from someone in the engineering & tech scene, it would be a very very hard sell moving to Normal, Illinois, to the folks I am around, in and including myself. The job offer would have to be an absolute perfect fit, and I'd want to get to another Rivian location in Palo Alto...
