Yes. All R1S will be 7 seater, pre and post price increase.

From what I was reading over on Reddit, those who've talked to CS have said CS is implying the max pack will happen, but it's going to be a couple years until it does. So my guess is 2025 at the earliest. I wouldn't wait around for it. Either get the large pack and be happy with it. Then...

Get the Model Y and figure out if you want to keep it or trade for the R1S when that time comes. Tesla's have really good resale value and with how popular they are, you could probably sell it for more than you bought it 2 years from now. We actually have both on order right now. Model Y...

Yeah well have to see. Would really rather not have to buy 2 cars and eat the depreciation. But that looks like that may be what I have to do if I really want the max pack. Might not be worth it in a few and might just have to settle for the large pack.

What really has me a bit worried is we have a R1S on order, large pack because that was the longest range at the time. But, all along, the plan was to get the “max pack”, whatever extended range that may be. Im probably getting kicked to the new pricing even though I had 0 opportunity to select...

Model 3 owner and we have an R1S on order as our 2nd EV. Only thing that worries me a bit is the charging network since EA isn't known to be the best. That said, 95% of our charging will be at home anyway since we don't road trip that often. Also, once the RAN is actually up and at least...

This is definitely one of the things you plan on when charging. In the Tesla world, a lot of the superchargers are conveniently located in shopping plazas and what not so you can eat or shop while the car is charging. I'm sure with the RAN, Rivian will do the same thing for a lot of stations.

I actually just asked CS about the "max pack" R1S the other day. They pretty much said they have no idea when an announcement will be made with details or when it'll be available because they are still doing testing on it. So they pretty much didn't confirm much of anything besides that it's...

Who's paying for the charging? Is Rivian going to forever just pay for everyone's charging?

Lol looks like a big ATV TBH. Cybertruck imposter much? Haha

I guess I'll find out if I ever get the S we preordered lol. Already have a 14-50 for my Tesla. I'm assuming you can control amps from the screen? Not that it matters tho since the mobile charger maxs at 32A anyway.

oOOooo if you're on a fixed rate, NEMA 14-50 would've been the better way to go, financial wise. Install is install no matter the wall charger or the NEMA 14-50, and then the wall charger is going to be extra after that (to purchase the unit). But, the wall charger does look nice. No...

It's really all about time. If you have a long TOU (time of use) rate through your utility company, it really doesn't matter. A 50A breaker is fine because putting in a NEMA 14-50 will be cheaper than a wall charger. Sure, it'll charge slower 15MPH vs 25MPH, but who cares when the car is just...

Already have this question out to @Iwantatesla over on Reddit. I think once he gets a chance he'll share what kind of charging curve the car gets

Actually RJ and the CFO Claire :P

Can any of you sloths figure out who's this is???

Any idea how many of those will be DC fast chargers? Hoping all of them? That would really help in the future as we have so many level 2 chargers already, that building more is kinda whatever at this point.

Haha, "Second Mile Event," nice! Let's hope we hear more info this month about the R1S. I'd like to hear how big the battery pack is on the "longer range" R1S and what the range is.

Only other thing I can think of is range. We'll have to see what the "longer range" R1S brings. If that variant is available in 7 seats, and there's not 2 different longer range variants dependent on 5 or 7 seats (7 seater being the shorter "longer range" variant), then yeah, no reason not to...

Newb question...can you enlighten me on Kia/H battery tech? What specs do they have that makes it better than Rivian's? The chemistry? Charging speed?
