Rivian reopens factory, delays electric pickup/SUV, but Amazon delivery van is still on time

Rivian announced that it reopened its factory in Normal, Illinois, after...
Great job! In my mind I had settled on a Green R1T after seeing it for first time in the recent factory video but that Burnt Orange looks mighty good and totally unique!
Too bad they don't substantiate their source but cool info and the R2R name has a nice ring to it if all this is true.
Hope it's got as cool a look as the renders this site post last year : Rivian Rally Model Imagined!
A green R1T makes a really quick first appearance in the test vehicle feature video. Looks lighter here than most green R1S images so I thought it might be a different color, but I've found some pics where the R1S's green looks the same as here. Shows again how much difference lighting and...
I went through almost frame by frame and didn't see any others. The green didn't make much of an impression for me on the R1S but for some reason it just shot up to my #1 color for the R1T after seeing it in the video, even if just a partial shot. Green with black wheels just works perfect on a...
Teslas aren't even track cars. They weren't engineered for reliable repeated track duty. But yea, the cost of repairs for an advanced tech off-road EV is a concern of mine. Part of the reason Jeeps are so popular is bc traditionally they were cheap to repair and replace parts for. It will be...
Different price segment for the Mach E which will be a smaller and less luxurious vehicle than the R1S. It's supposed to cost about $40k (before federal and local tax credits).
Very cool to get updates straight from eyewitness at the factory. Really looking forward to seeing how good the autonomous driving will be when the Rivians launch!
It's really rather silly and IMO self-serving to come out so critical against CONCEPTS. Concepts are not meant to represent production level quality. Heck, some concepts can't even roll out to the show floor without being pushed out by human beings. To expect fit and finish to be final on...
Interesting that Ford will be building an electric F-150 which will be competing with Rivian's R1T while also investing in the company. The electric F-150 won't be using the skateboard platform but I wonder if it'll feature any other Rivian technology?
Yup. Half shafts on my Model X have been vibrating when full out accelerating and are due for replacement. Issue is they don't even have an ETA on when the replacement axle will come in. It's been 2 months already. :headbang: Hoping no such problems on Rivian's. Good thing is they can learn...
Nice work! Yellow's too bright for me as a daily but it looks great there. I'm getting the R1T but if I were going with an R1S I'd probably pick a white one, looks great with the black roof.
