Probably higher than what was originally planned (which I figure was 500-1000/yr) given the massive blowback for raising sticker price, they still need some cash if they're going to be selling cars at a loss for 2 years. With people starting to take delivery of the cars though I'm surprised...

I'm surprised how much the 'contract verbage' gets accepted especially on forums like this - "too bad, they're not legally obligated to hold pricing!" Realistically in any transaction, if you have to pull the contracts out of the drawer, something already went wrong. They're just there in case...

Employees did not pay the asking price for the car, we know the units delivered were at a significant discount. The whole narrative about "short sellers trying to sabotage the company" is overblown and I'm hearing echoes of Tesla paranoia here. *Almost* all of us just want to know that the...

This is specifically about cancelling orders with intent to resell, I think most of us want our cars but if someone offers me +30k on mine after I get it I'm not saying no, it's not like they're gonna sue you or something.

Ceramic pads are quite common as they generate less visible dust and California limits the use of metallic/semi metallic pads because of the dust. There's no significant difference from the road user perspective otherwise. Metallic pads are more common for track/race use because they're more...

As far as I care, it's only real when I can get one. Right now I can't get any of these and there's nothing saying Riv wouldn't delay again though I hope they won't.

Probably nothing as there frankly aren't too many other appealing options right now. I like the style of that Gurgel though. I have the 'new car' itch more than I need a car by any means, I could probably drive mine another 5 years and as it gets older I don't need to worry so much about every...

Drilling, refining and transporting oil all emit CO2 as well, overall emissions are probably about double what you get at the tailpipe. Manufacturing EVs is tougher and more material/process intensive but EVs typically become more efficient when both cars have been driven 30-60k miles. Given...

I think a lot of us realize this is what we're legally entitled to, but if someone pushes me because they're 'legally entitled' to do so I'm still not going to be too happy about it and I'm fine walking. There's tons of cool new cars coming out, especially in the EV space. This one looks pretty...

Not really, what we're worried about is if all the deliveries go to people with a 'special' relationship with the company than we're probably not getting honest or clear feedback about the experience. It's very possible deliveries could have been conditional on some NDA or restricted disclosure...

They put a huge heavy tire on it - if you ran a lighter one of the same OD as the 21 package (like a 275/55/20) you should potentially get better range than either, assuming the same compound/etc as the 21. I plan to get 20s and downsize the tires unless Rivian makes that a tremendous pain, in...

Make use of that screen! Let us show a couple metrics (remaining % and expected range probably being the most useful.)

I expect it to be very good on road and capable enough to get places in a pinch and the suspension looks great for mixed use. I'm less stoked about the tire options for mixed use, a 34" tire is just too much IMO and the alternative 21" wheel option is not desirable for how oddball and heavy it...

Dealers and some time shops have been able to recalibrate the speedometer for different tire sizes on every other car, I'm really hoping Rivian doesn't make this a pain because like the OP I'd much rather just run the smallest wheel with a smaller tire. It's going to be better for dynamics...
