I don't think the car's range is the whole story here. You could work around range limitations with shorter 50-100 mile trails. The real concern is that EVs (including R1s) are much more expensive to repair if something goes wrong during an off-road trip. The high cost of repairs, difficulty...

I am still catching up on the all the details but it seems the only battery capacity versions released are Standard (270 miles) and Max (410), leaving a gap for large to be filled in future. For me personally, standard has be too less of a range and max to be more than i need, large sits in the...

Not true in the current market, u don’t need to own a charging network for your own brand. You don’t see Hyundai, Kia, ford and others setting up charging networks. It was imperative for Tesla to setup one because there wad no charging infrastructure when they started selling ev’s. Ev’s infra...

I hope the news is primarily to drive PR. Rivian needs to stay focused on getting profitable and expediting R2 launch. Charging business is highly capital intensive and low margin business. EA and other charging company balance sheets have been on fire, most have lost ~95% stock value in last 2...

R1 is a lovable product and nobody would go wrong. But for me the timing of buy now vs buy later after refresh would depend on how do I plan to buy. If I was to lease, I would do it now as the lease deals are attractive and I commit to the car for 3 years (limited time). But if I was to...

Stock close to 52 w low. With a medium term damp EV market and no new triggers before R2 deliveries in 2026, I wonder how the stock would do for the next 6-7 quarters. A roller coaster ride is in store!!

I agree with the assessment that the overall car market is going through a rough patch, this is not limited to EV’s. Also to note is that with an overall car market slowdown, the premium sub segment would be more impacted than lower segments, again EV and Ice included. What would be interesting...

I don't understand the obsession with comparing Tesla and Rivian with respect their company lifecycle as to to who could mass produce and deliver faster. It is not just apples to oranges comparison it is more like apple to spinach comparison. 1) Tesla created the market from EV's from scratch...

I see a blatant optimism around R2 on the forum, assuming it is going to be a magic pill which will solve all Rivians problem towards profitability. What will make or break R2 are multiple factors including the product itself, the pricing, the demand, the competition and a lot more. There is...

The overall EV car market in the 80K+ segment is facing demand pressure due to ongoing macro and interest scenario. I came across this Jalponik article about discounts on EV9’s https://jalopnik.com/the-kia-ev9-is-already-being-discounted-in-some-places-1851134141. Tesla predicted the trend early...

I recommend R1S to a friend of mine, he was expecting to buy a car mid 2024. To try his luck he put in the reservation 1st week of dec for a R1S, a week later he was given access to the R1S shop by the Rivian CS. R1S DM large/max packs were ready available at the shop. QD model are also...

I have been keeping a tab on the used market for r1s/t , u can definitely see a lot of inventory available at shop prices for almost brand new vehicles. I drive daily past a used car dealer and see 15 rivians for sale, 13 r1s’s and 2 r1t’s. I checked the online listing for them and they have...
