The off road package consists of enhanced tow hooks and a metal bash plate on the bottom. I imagine this would be an end of line add on. If not, then the configurations balloon to 60 possible permutations. Wheels can certainly just be swapped in and out at any time.

This is a really good point. For launch edition there are 10 colors x 3 interior options = 30 possible permutations. This is assuming that it's relatively easy to bolt on an off road package. All the other configurations are easy to add or remove (wheels, spare tire, camp kitchen, etc.). For...

Not an Illinois MFG plate. Kind of looks like a Michigan MFG plate:

That's Forest Green.

These are not the same regulations. Your link is to the CARB regulations. The California DMS has their own regulations that are in development. All “commercial EVSE” will need to comply with their standards. CalDMS defines these standards differently and they make no exception for manufacturer...

https://www.cdfa.ca.gov/dms/pdfs/regulations/EVSE-OAL_EndorsedLetter-and-FinalText.pdf All DC EVSEs installed in California after January 2023 will need to follow these rules. Any installed before January 2023 will have 10 years to comply. To comply they will need to show the kWh dispensed and...

Eventually it will need to show it directly on the charger so it can’t be tampered with. Tesla will be grandfathered in initially, but eventually they will have to comply to sell electricity in California. Even on their Tesla only stations.

So far Rivian has announced a 400 mile R1T and now they only make reference to a “longer range R1S” being available later. This has led some to speculate that the extra row of seating in the R1S may limit the battery capacity of the vehicle. Perhaps Rivian made a choice to prioritize all R1S...

Most charging stations have displays unlike Tesla superchargers. One barrier for Tesla opening up its network will be complying with metrology regulations that require a display to show the pricing and charge rate of commercial stations.

Not going to be a very useful datapoint on a ChargePoint Express 250. Maximum charge rate for these stations is 62.5kW for a standalone station or 125kW for a pair of stations. Even if these stations are paired, there are two vehicles plugged in, so the effective charge rate is probably still...

The one complaint I have with the configurator is that the R1S is sloppily rendered. The rear views are just reversed images with only the Rivian logo replaced. Look closely and you’ll see that the wiper blade and steering wheel are just flipped from left to right.

Of course @kanundrum beat me to the news in a separate post... smh

ALERT ALERT ALERT: CONFIRMED LAUNCH GREEN SOUND THE ALARMS watch Rivian's Insta story to hear it from RJ's mouth!

Great analysis. I strongly suspect that the white R1S in the instagram is the same "show car build" that was on display at the events in early 2020: Versus the updated pre-production R1S that RJ showed off in his video about the flat folding rear seats:

R1S could be old, but the photos appear to be new, but I'm not seeing the differences in the hatch design. I assume you're talking about this photo:

Screenshots of the proposed floor plans for the SF location. Note the "Trip Planning" area on the first floor. I wonder what that is...

Stopped by the future Rivian location in Hayes Valley, SF. Also attached the plans for the location, which include some mockups and architectural drawings.

Highly unlikely. Clipper Creek is a budget brand with mostly "dumb chargers" (no payment or cloud connection). It wouldn't make sense for them to spend all their time integrating a dumb charger with their cloud system when they could build their own or select a different company. The L2...

My 3rd time spotting an R1T in public and my first time seeing one without camo. Before anyone asks, the color is Forest Green.
