Do the seat bottoms come out as one piece? Or maybe 1/3 and 2/3?

So, does the 100D have similar degradation to the 90D over it's life?

That's also part of the reason I brought it up, is because it actually IS an example of the larger capacity per cell causing worse degradation. I don't know what they did when they went to 100D, but I haven't heard any problems with those.

That's one of the weird things about the Cybertruck is that very open frunk. I don't have a Rivian yet. I use my Model 3 rear sub trunk to store the rollable or fragile groceries. And I feel like the CT frunk is just so short that you could barely put anything in there, and then when you got...

When I bought my 2015 Model S, I paid an extra $3k to go from 85D to 90D. That was probably a similar cost per kwh. I didn't think it was needed, but I wanted to max range I could get at the time. I can easily see the same sort of logic here. I don't believe there is any evidence that this...

I've heard it said that with Teslas cruising at 70 mph, you should take off 20% from the EPA range. If you also take off another 7% (referenced above) for the AT tires, because the 340 mile range is based on the unreleased AS tires (I believe), then you would lose 91.8 miles aka 250 miles. So...

This was alluded to before, but during the Dual Motor release, it was cast in doubt because they might have been making the rear inverters with slightly different material. It'd be great to hear the official statement on all this.

This seems like it should have it's own thread. That'd be some kind of big news for many people.

Yeah, I had a good discussion with one of the Munro associates and he showed me some of the other harnesses that used the zone system that Rivian is going to. It should be a lot simpler. But, he also pointed out that the way Rivian did it is actually very typical. It's just that newer designs...

Also, this was the harness from a 2022 R1T. This should be simplified in the 2024 refresh. (I have pictures of most of the Rivian components from visiting Munro & Associates. They had only recently gotten a sample of the Enduro unit to tear down, which is why I got some pictures of that too.)

Actually, checking my photos... The top is the dual Rivian Enduro, the bottom is the Bosch quad. The motor parts are about the same size. I didn't get the perspective right when I took the picture to have a direct comparison. So, it's very possible they could fit the same motor in the same size...

It's also possible that they'll just make the quad motor variant of the enduro design that's just a little smaller.

It might be nice if the power adapter part was portable (separate from the battery) to make it lighter and then attach it to the R1 directly to use it's power.

Also, I think the CT has the EPA rating for the all season tires, but it's only delivering with AT tires. So, that's obviously going to hurt the range a bit more.

You can also see the history of it's efficiency in one of the pictures showing similar numbers for more of the usage of the vehicle.

But with similar losses, even if they slowed down to 70 mph for a long time, it might still only be a little over 200 miles.

There's no doubt that the CT is less efficient. Here's the rolling resistance data: If they were going 80 on the freeway, that's already about 550 wh/mile. I also find in my model 3 that just having the HVAC on uses like 30 wh/mile. Seems like it might be worse in a larger vehicle. Also, if...

Does Rivian expose the impact of the cold battery on it's capacity? With my Tesla, when it's cold it'll show a blue bar for how much battery % it would have it if was warm, but a lower value just because it's cold. I suspect it's common to have a lower available kWh when cold. So, your vehicle...

I agree with 'sub', I think the manufacturers kept to a stable MSRP, but that doesn't mean a stable out the door price. They would do sales, or financing discounts, or dealer adjustments (up or down) as needed to help with demand. But they left much of that to the individual dealership.
