Maybe I don’t pickup on the sarcasm or understand taxes? Wash sale is still applicable and easily overlooked when bridging accounts or trading platforms.

Dealer Plate? I’m assuming (based on timing) it wasn’t the other one sighted Friday (with dealer plates). This guy was likely not an employee owner but rather an employee tester?

This makes sense to me: they launch a no option edition, easier to control supplier parts and quality on the production line while starting out, if you want it —> get it… otherwise wait. Plenty of demand for a couple months of LE. The wheel options are simple on the line… and their new paint...

Previous demo of R2 was probably more of a press release (need a sweet show in an awsome place) i.e. in Laguna. Upcoming locations are probably strategically aligned with new major growth markets. Venice, CA: April 3 – 5 Denver, CO: April 17 – 19 Chicago, IL: April 24 – 26 Long Island, NY...

Control of the trailer is great. I love towing with Rivian, I choose R1S LFP over my older Silverado for trips up to 220 miles. Trailer weight and elevation don’t seem to affect mileage too much. Wind and high travel speed destroy range. I travel through the Dalles (Oregon/Washington) and...

Just Passing By I hope you are right. I was thinking 30k would be 7 or 8 months of 2026 production. Then in 2027 they won’t be completely focused on production the way traditional autos would be, instead allocating resources towards development of the next advancement. They seem to be...

You asked for a guess: if production ramp up goes well for Rivian, the 30,000th R2 rolls off the line Dec 2026 and the 100,000th R2 rolls off the line for Christmas 2027. If current demand (up to your reservation) goes well for Rivian, they have well over 100,000 R2 reservations and 20% - 25%...

Please also note: there are two battery chemistries for R1 dual motor. The “Dual Standard” comes with LFP battery and is not available with Performance Upgrade at purchase or later.

I was pleasantly surprised to be routed to this RAN 2/6/26. There was a new Starbucks that seemed to pop up about the same time.

2025 R1S Dual Standard G2 with 20” Goodyear Wrangler Territory AT. Currently looking good at 15k miles. Rotating at 7.5k, mostly driving in AP, 2,000 miles of towing. I’m expecting at least 35k at this rate. 40k wouldn’t surprise me.

Batteries determine state of charge based on voltage drop curves. LFP voltage drop curve is very flat making it difficult to determine state of charge (compared to NMC). Instead LFP tracks power out and compares to “full state” to determine remaining charge. The car needs to calibrate to...

70 kWh (actually viewing in recent history) in 40 min (189 miles estimated) on Rivian Network. DC fast charge regularly gets 300mph+ in the 20%- 80% state of charge band. I’m fairly certain 20 min for 120 miles at most fast chargers (if you’re in the right state of charge), could be closer to...

Greg - I’ve got no regrets with LFP (2025 DS R1S). I frequently travel to two different cities, each about 200 miles away. I struggled to decide between dual standard and max pack (thinking I’d be able to go round trip with minimal charging stop). I have fast charging available on both trips...
