  1. Factor (food delivery) is my first non-Amazon van sighting

    My daughter, who knows my Rivian obsession, sang out as we drove past a delivery van this afternoon, “Isn't that a Rivian?” Sure enough it was. For Factor, a food delivery company I’d never heard of Cool to finally spot one. I actually might have seen one two weeks ago, but with no logo and...
  2. R2 / R3 event in Bloomington? (Update w/ Trib article)

    We picked up a puppy in central IL today. Stopped to charge in Bloomington, and there were three Rivians ahead of us, and by the time we finished, 5 of the six in line were Rivians. I’d told my wife there are probably a lot since it’s hometown. But then I spoke to someone who said no, they...
  3. Some Marketing Data Points

    Some data points that may offer insight into Rivian's current and future customer base: 1) Rivian's tweet on the R3 has more than double the number of views, triple the number of likes, as any of its other tweets today. 2) In our forum's reservation tracker, a majority of R1 owners who've...
  4. Rivian Adventure message (vs. Fun)

    RJ highlighted Adventure as Rivian's primary goal. I think that has been a key selling point, to their credit. It helped the R1 platform take off the way it did. I also fear it's a weakness if you're trying to reach a mass market. If you look at the Tracking Sheet here, 25% of reservations...
  5. Cybertruck Charging Curve LOL

    Tesla: Whoops. When we said 4680 cells were our competitive advantage, we mostly meant for the Alaska market. Cybertruck charging slow, likely due to thermal concerns previously identified by Bosch...
  6. Twittership Down

    Some may find this irrelevant, but I think others will see it as a related topic, and enjoy it. Twitter has been almost completely down for roughly an hour. You can't see posts in your timeline. Posts that other sites have embedded do not show up. I'd be feeling pretty weird about my...
  7. R1Ts in Shop

    Two interesting developments. I've been monitoring the R1T shop looking for a configuration I might be interested in, and found it ridiculous, in that if you want, say, a Dual Motor/Large Pack, and don't really care much about color, you had to separately look in each color category to see...
  8. What can you do/see at Normal plant?

    That is, what might I be able to see in Normal, IL. Heading there on a business trip this week. Is there a factory tour? There’s no Spaces showroom, but people do pick up their vehicles in Normal. Is that at the service center? Can I go to a service center to see an R1T?
