This seems to be how most feel the last six months of "launch" have been managed/mangled

Manufacturers are prioritizing higher cost/margin vehicles (can't remember my reference). This should include the Lightning.

I think those numbers are close. Just a few random thoughts: I frequently have found myself wondering how many people had preordered by the time the configurator went live? I was VERY surprised LE was still available for a while to people who had not previously preordered. Or phrased another...

That would be in keeping with the Rivian pattern of technically meeting deadlines, but not meeting them in spirit. Would also strongly imply no one is receiving a truck without at least an offer of a test drive. Would seriously limit how many trucks they can deliver this year.

Atlanta update: Drove by the site I believe is going to be the service center (2333 defoor hills road) again about 30 min ago. Only change in the site I could see from a month ago is the sign of the previous tenants (Certified Finishes) has now been taken down. There were two guys who looked...

Sorry typo 120 v 110. My question is why is there not one in the tunnel itself? Edit: they specifically say we would need an inverter if we wanted a 110v in the tunnel

The article mentions there are two 12V outlets in the tunnel. Does the gear shuttle have an inverter to provide a 120v outlet? Or is there some special wiring Rivian does on shuttle install?

Validates my max pack choice. I've got a 270 mile all highway trip I regularly take with 3 kids 6 and under (including a newborn). We start it around their bedtime. I want as few stops as possible. There's no way I'm going to gamble on future OTA updates to increase range. If the official EPA...

Don't know your specifics like driving history, credit score, how much you drive and where you live, but I think you are in for a rude awakening. Duck's quote seems pretty good for a 80k+ adventure truck that can go 0-60 in 3sec.

I wonder if the mileage stuff is still embargoed, with Rivian arguing they were still tweaking stuff before sending final details to the EPA?

On a different tack, I think we can now predict which cities see deliveries first! Sorry Seattle. I'm most interested in seeing how quickly they move city to city. Are they only going to be doing 4 cities at a time? How long are they going to be in each set of cities? Might be a loooong time...

There is so a much cheaper solution called an interlock. It is a manual switch (compared to the automatic transfer switch). You would need to manually select which breakers you want to turn on or off before switching to generator power so you don't overload the generator. Even installed by an...

Will there be any test drives before the first vehicles are delivered? Interesting to hear them barely mentioned. Doesn't give much time for the events to be set up. I predict there are exactly 10 deliveries in September... to the 10 people who got to test drive and see vehicles in person a few...

I thought Rivian's plan is for us to only get information from a special few early reservation holders. Rivian contacts the lucky few, who then pass the filtered information to the rest of us. Ta da!

Drove by the possible Atlanta site today around 3p. I peeked in the front windows and what I could see looked like an empty building. No cars or trucks in the parking lot. I'll swing by again in a month.

I double checked the lease agreement: 1) it was signed by Jimmy knauf (rivian evp of facilities) on 7/16, so may be that they don't actually take possession for weeks/months from lease signing. There wasn't a stat time listed for the lease. 2) it specifically mentions there will be a service...

I'm more excited from watching your videos than from anything Rivian has put out in the last year!

This is the single most exciting thing I've seen come out of Rivian in the last year. Duck for the win! Thank God Rivian chose their customer ambassadors better than their coms strategy.

African or European?

Completely agree generating grassroots enthusiasm / free marketing seems to be their shtick. "We are the underdogs and not just another corporate behemoth." The problem with this is it is tough to generate enthusiasm when only 0.03% of reservation holders (guessing 30,000 total reservation...
