I do! Live in Howard Co. Maryland. Can definitely meet up with other Riviots in the area. Have a 4Runner now and have never done any hardcore off-roading but am looking forward to getting into it. Have a 4,7, and 9 year old and hope to take them on adventures SOON. LE holder 95xx from mid April...

I love the look…especially the R1S, and need a three row for the kids and dogs. Can’t imagine having a vehicle that can go zero to 60 in 3 sec and heavy duty off-roading- really no compromises, and what seems like a “too good to be true” value when compared to other options. Finally, will enjoy...

Do you have a sense when they started construction? Trying to gain a general feel for time to convert a similar space

My only problem is I am looking at the large pack…not the max. I feel reasonably good that if the S comes back at 315+ epa that it will work for 99%. But it will be close in winter months with teens weather a d headwinds

I too am worried whether the large pack will be enough for a certain use case I have where I want to make a straight shot at about 160 miles and regularly drive 75-80 all highway today. In addition, it will have an elevation gain and we often travel the route during winter months. My hope is...

Unfortunately we won’t know the true amount until they tell us usable (won’t hold my breath), or someone does a run to zero range test with full recharge. Regardless, 18.15 per is very good if they still go with 7776 count with 9 15kw packs

That is what I get and makes sense. They commented that the batteries will be less than 135kw making me 99% certain that will be usable capacity and they plan to have a nice buffer! Big news if true and makes sense.

I think due to a holiday we could be looking at a SURD

Agree with this...but I wouldn’t assume they didn’t get bad news on R1T with 20s coming in right below 300. That first digit makes a huge difference. FYI...They had f150 mules on the road with the skateboard testing well before any prototypes were spotted. They could have extrapolated range...

Agree, service centers are key and we have no info on a location in DMV. I am in Howard Co. Maryland and assume we’ll all be covered by the location in NOVA. God help us if they are entangled in Maryland permit hell

Will throw this question here. I rewatched the hot weather towing video again (Rivian fix for the day) and they mention drivetrain and battery temperatures while towing. I believe it was the Death Valley grade. I think drivetrain was quoted as 88 and 96 C back front respectively. Battery was...

I am admittedly have anxiety about what the range will end up being; both marketed EPA range and real world range. Plus, I don’t like the thought of buying something that will lose range through degradation - understanding all BEVs will and ICEs do as well to a lesser extent obviously. With all...

Man, if we don’t hear anything by Thursday these threads are going to be epic. I want more info too, but that meltdown will be a nice consolation prize. DucRider will develop carpal tunnel if he hasn’t already

I should add, the math never added up when they mentioned the battery could be less than 135kwh. Just doesn’t calculate with existing 2170 cell wh and battery count.

Range is by far and away the spec I am most concerned about. If they chose to market the R1T where only the 21” ekes out at 300 that would be a major blunder. I was hoping for 320-325 for 21” on the R1S. These could represent 20” ranges.

I think I saw someone joke about this elsewhere, but I would not at all be surprised if 100’s of preorder customers have been contacted and asked to sign a NDA or something similar. Made up of employees-and family and friends of VIPs at Rivian, Ford, Amazon, T. Rowe Price, etc. my bet is the...

I have to chuckle at this post. A snippet of my original post is used without the full context including the unnamed video discussion I cited. And then you state the obvious regarding the challenges they are trying to overcome. The problem with your argument in support is that we never set the...

Electruck, I appreciate the calm and optimism...I disagree though that it was unreasonable to expect a few hundred to thousand or so vehicles to be produced in June. Maybe they will hit that mark, but everything at this point on May 7th points to only a trickle by the end of June at best. If...

Oops. I guess I should have left the unnamed, unnamed

Yesterday seemed pivotal for some reason. Agree with the sentiment shared on the latest Rivian Stories video - spot on. This could really start to snowball. I am starting to think the lack of transparency is to reduce a flood of preorder cancellations. Unfortunately though for Rivian, they have...
