I see you are on Stage II Mark Rober Views: Negotiating. I'm at Stage IV: Annoying Protestor. Don't let my kids watch his videos and use him as an example of how fame and success can corrupt.
The Tesla/Luminar scam video was exactly that, a scam. They drove a old Tesla Model Y through a fake...
I refuse to believe that Rivian engineers are smarter than random people who post on this forum.
This wiper blade position is probably a bug and they got lucky. No one is smart enough to figure out how to solve for this situation, except for internet forum members of course.
Ya'll must be new to vehicle ramps. 😂
Production ramps like this follow a logistics curve. Extrapolation at this point would be like basing your lifetime expected earnings on what your parents gave you for allowance.
What pops out to me most is that these cars look amazing, super consistent...
Back in February I made price predictions along with many others, lets see how we stacked up now that the full configurator is live:
All prices include destination
Small battery predictions incomplete, will see when small batteries launch

“Once we secure the impacted area, we anticipate resuming operations in Building 2 (specifically for R2) this week,” spokesperson Marina Hoffmann said in an email, adding that operations at other facilities continue as planned...
Yes, I'm sure Rivian will regret not spending the money on development and parts for a feature only 1% of buyers would even be aware of and only 0.001% of would ever use.
Only thing that would make this better, is if they complained that R2 doesn't have a "low gear"
These situations always suck, because the payout never covers the hassle.
But in the end, we all should resist the temptation to think that just because a big rich company hurt you, you have won the lottery. A large part of the cost of everything these days is just for insurance to pay lawyers...
Saw a sample at the Venice R2 event, its definitely more of a light grey and nothing like what Tesla has. I had no reference, but most likely very similar to R1 light interiors
Well I asked a rep at todays R2 Event in Venice and he said no light interior on the first launch editions, but he said that there would be a light interior launch edition. What that means for timing I have no idea. But a real bummer.
No light interior at launch would be a surprise IMO, I feel like I watched most of the launch materials and launch timing was all about the trims, not options. (Remember when R1 only had one trim?)
At this stage as a company, their relationship with suppliers must enable them to handle two...
Rivian thought of me on my birthday! 6 stalls, 1 NACS (3B). Sadly (or happily) I was not the first to charge here, but I'll have to settle for one of the first. Not surprising with so many Rivians in the area. The Eastern Sierras have never been easier to explore with a Rivian.
Edit...
If Tesla and SpaceX don't go bankrupt in 5 years Fred & Friends are going to have a well documented history of being hilariously wrong.
"But, they were so late!" nobody cares.
I get why folks hate Elon, but look: He undeniably started the modern EV era, the rockets work.. and they land...
From Gemini, so please excuse any hallucinations:
I ran the search, and the SEC Form 8-K actually just dropped. The details completely strip away the marketing polish from the press release and give us the exact financial mechanics.
Here is what the filing reveals about the deal structure and...
Yes.
Yes, you can enable this, and configure the exact amount you want each side mirror to tilt
Recently it has become excellent with Google maps based route options selectable, and with auto re-routing based on traffic. Sometimes the traffic data does seem out of sync but only in how it is...
Interesting surprises, like semi-active suspension only on Performance. Also surprised on so much color choice for LE.
Only bummer really is no black wheels! Missed opportunity on the Performance offroad wheels imo.
Saving for R2 Tri?
