Wouldn't be surprising given the current fleet size, but this changes drastically once the fleet increases by orders of magnitude and possible build permutations. This is why there's so many ways to define an OTA campaign. You can even prioritize OTA rollouts which target a specific ECU only...

There's really no limit to how Rivian could have defined their OTA campaigns. It could be geofenced, VIN range(s), delivery date, option codes, etc - or any combination thereof.

Some of the best LG photos to date.

Fixed it! :facepalm:

No update for me yet - Feb 2019 preorder date.

I'm simply making arguments as to why they would do this. As a team, they're learning how to build a vehicle, which includes every single aspect. - Line setup and programming - Training - Logistics/component sequencing - Process controls and calibration - Product QA - Line maintenance Making a...

Weak argument on your part... I shouldn't be here if I point out that things are more difficult than we'd like them to be? If anything, my experience in the industry makes me more suited to being here, as I understand what the Rivian team is going through and can therefore empathize with them...

Pure semantics on your part. You can't argue against the math. I never stated it wouldn't be possible, just more difficult than you want to believe. If it's all so easy... Why limit build combinations during launch ramp then? Facts: Rivian is building customer vehicles with Black Mountain...

I've lived through multiple vehicle launches during my career, so I've seen some things from both the OEM and supplier side. My comments aren't simply wild ass guesses. Simple fact is that complexity would be added. This is undeniable from a mathematical perspective. This reality conflicts...

You're a math denier... The addition of increased complexity during assembly line ramp up would be counterproductive.

Yes it is. Using the assumption that the IP and door trims are delivered as their own assemblies to the factory and NOT built up by Rivian themself, you introduce 3 times the number of unique IP assemblies, door trims, center consoles, and possibly even steering wheels. When combined, there are...

This is all about sequencing the IP assembly to the correct body and most likely doors as well. Most factories have the doors run on their own line after paint booth and meet up with the body after IP/seats and interior are installed. Doors get in the way of these steps in the assembly...

RC ➡ LG ➡ ??? Why does RC have to look so good?

Also keep in mind that paint booth is handling the body only - not the bumpers or any painted exterior plastic. This is usually done by the component supplier.

So part of their innovation was arranging the charging bays like a gas station... Who could have thought that might have been a good place to start?

About 30 minutes ago. Wonder if this will coincide with improved delivery communication. Crickets for me...
