It's disappointing to learn that the performance is so mediocre. This unit is made for Rivian by Delta Electronics (FCCID 2A2EZVW30ACAP, VWPEN16C-30ACAPB, Model PT00062426-B) and has 18 Qi coils in it, and is supposed to provide 15W (CISPR-25). Also supports the CAN interface and should have...
Interesting update for my R1S. Got this from Rivian Friday 3/25/2022:
Good news! Next week, your Rivian Account Page will reflect your pre-March 1, 2022 preorder pricing. Going forward, your Account Page will be the best place to get the latest, most accurate information about your order...
I have a day one R1S reservation as well (#1673 if that actually means anything), but not a peep from Rivian. I did receive the e-mail saying something would happen March-April 2022, but we're almost out of March. I'm waiting for the next e-mail that kicks the can down the road 2 more months...

Aw, crap. Now I HAVE to get a Rivian, or else I'm gunna regret my latest "purchase":
I'm going to look like a real tool for the next few months driving around with this on a Hyundai Palisade! :surprised:
Monroe, WA
Order #1673, R1S, LE Green, Black interior, 21" Road.
Super pissed about the 400 mile pack issue, but I was well aware that there'd be changes coming once the production plan materialized. And there will be more changes, I'm sure. House is already wired up with twin Level 2...
I don't think the number means much. I've confirmed multiple times now that "customer service" (and I use the term very loosely) won't answer (or even acknowledge) that specific question. Mine says 1673 (11/27/2018). My friend, who pre-ordered yesterday, got 27846239. They obviously don't...
"Depends on what range the Large pack ends up putting out."
Hmmm... I'm having a REALLY hard time trying to justify a $10,000 up-charge to get the max-pack, all in the name of adding just 100 more miles of range. I'm not sure what the hell Rivian's smoking to come up with THAT kind of a kick in...
I guess we'll find out today who was placated enough by the Launch Edition gimmicks to give-up on the 400 pack they really wanted and settle for the 300. I think that was part of their intent as well - convert as many of the "400 club" as possible to easier-to-build 300 - and give them special...
