I may be wrong but she was speaking as if they were a couple. Anyway it was good to see the colors in various lights and I await seeing them in person at the spaces - hopefully April (had hoped they would say when test drives and them being at the spaces in this event).
I would expect special editions to be in 2028 onwards as they have to get through the ramp and launch all trim levels which will take to end of 2027. The tri motor will have Special colors but that could be storm blue (great color but not warm)
Doing her own videos and being in front of the camera is fine. It was commented by several that the regular interruptions from behind the camera in the video mentioned (tour of R2) was disruptive to the flow of the video.
I assumed the R1 she “had” was an OoS one - young to have such a vehicle...
The tow package is standard with the 21” wheels on performance with launch package. I agree with simplifying and leaning manufacturer but the people complain if their beloved option is not available yet.
Look at some of the comments on the video - others thought the same that we wanted to hear from you and having “I agree” or “yeah” from behind the camera added no value and broke the flow. Maybe it was the drinks you had before.
Whether you have a Rivian or placed an order early doesn’t make you able to override their decision or business logic. Sounded quite entitled which I am sure was not the intent.
You can get the white interior with a performance, just not straightaway.
Was a good video except for the new camerawomen who inserted herself into the video too much or just kept talking to agree with Kyle. Seems to be the new girlfriend, hopefully over soon so normal service resumes.
What percentage of people get the white, seems like a (vocal) minority but a minority none the less. Your proposal makes sense and hopefully they will do it. iX3 and EX60 have three color choices so options for you.
Exactly what o see as well that little benefit for the individual but benefits the fleet. If you just want hands free safe driving on the highway then current planned enhanced Gen 2 ADAS is more than adequate.
Good overall list. For the phone charger - being MagSafe is a great idea for both keeping the phone in place and charging. Let’s see it in reality before leaping to conclusions.
There is a vocal minority who really want Lidar. The launch package includes at least $3k worth of content (tow package and autonomy subscription) that makes the extra performance and suspension upgrade (and availability of purple and launch green) a no brainer for $1k above the Premium. If you...
I really like those square design wheels but unfortunately the AT option for the Perfor a CE has a different design compared to Premium and Standard. Would have simplified things if they had kept the AT option consistent across all trims.
I agree they gave themselves room because not everything goes to plan. They have stated for years customers deliveries by end of Q2, and this is now cutting it fine. I had expected, if things were going on track, that deliveries would be May thereby allowing them a few weeks room. The reveal on...
I can’t believe it is a locked battery because if the battery capacity is around 20kWh smaller (which accounts for range reduction) that cuts over $2k from the price. Since they have reduced the price $3k they need the reduced battery cost to help maintain any profit
Agree and if Rivian could offer eight colors back in 2022 then they will do the same in 2026. They have streamlined build by having one battery and motor config, one interior and no other options other than color. They have learnt a lot about manufacturing these past four years.
launch green was...
