Cancelled. As my sister used to say "don't go away mad, just go away"
Sayonara folks, I wish you all the best.
Note to Rivian.
Rivian has all the appearances of being a top shelf engineering and product development company. The concept and execution of the R1T and R1S are to be commended...
This topic sure lit a fire under forum members. While this news is unwelcome, we have yet to see what the final outcome will be for the LE pre-orders. It's important to remember the tonneau, selection of 20" wheels, OC interior, big battery and quad motor were included in the LE. I'm going to...
Hey Rivian... How about a connection for a rear mounted remote camera to put on the back of the trailer? I would buy that reasonably priced option for the peace of mind.
Wait, 200 per week, breathtaking. It's important to note Rivian would love to be at 2,000 or even 20,000 per week. They are not holding back because they don't want to be successful and have trucks and SUV's on the road generating free advertising and excitement. They may have lower priority...
Love the road on the screen, lots of winding and hairpins. A little meh on the puddle though. Thank you for sharing, this is what I ultimately joined the user group for, people sharing their experiences. Congratulations on your R1T.
If that is the standard then the award should go to Tesla. Rivian's purpose will be to satisfy the investors, be certain of that. All the manufacturers below are delivering cars now, today and therefor are having a climate impact even though most still make ICE.
Tesla
Ford
Volkswagen
Hyundai...
It's a complete shame such a fine innovative product like the R1T is hampered by the lack of communications, it reflects poorly on management. This is like hearing from the neighbors that your parents are getting a divorce. It would be so simple to broadcast to all the reservation holders there...
The braking should be an easy software fix as the truck already applies friction brakes for the last few mph anyway for true one pedal driving. Will there come a time when there is no brake pedal at all? My stepdaughter can't drive a manual transmission as it is, the clutch pedal has become an...
It's nice to see the soon to be available swag. This is a great cosmic lesson in patience for all of us..
Thank you for sharing and congratulations, even the box is cool.
About 50 working days to produce 48000 R1T's by the end of CY2021 yields about 960 per day. That seems a bit optimistic at this point even with the help of the Ford, Tesla and McLaren people poached for their expertise. I've been waiting for 32 months at this point and quite a few have been on...
I just ran into an interesting article regarding the disruption of the ICE industry. It's nothing new for most of us here but presented well and a broad overview of ideas in one place.
Parts and service, the coming EV disruption that nobody's talking about (autoblog.com)
The legacy of the...
This video seems to be from a non truck guy. That gives us a point of view that most here will not align with as we are the drooling early adopters that after exposure to the design and projected features (even though some were dropped to hit a price point) led us to place a $1,000 deposit on...
I looked at the first photo and thought "I want that garage" every garage should have a glass door and concrete planter. Being in the hinterlands (only 250,000 population) restricts my access to any of the upcoming events, I would love to see any color in person soon. I long for the new car...
From the FAQ page:
We intend to reserve a portion of shares of Rivian’s common stock for eligible customers who of Rivian who reside in the US. These shares will be available for eligible customers to purchase at the IPO price, without paying a brokerage fee, as part of the IPO.
Sorry Canadians...
I am also surprised at the apparent size comparison. Of course the angle could have some impact on the relative sizes, usually farther away looks smaller and the R1T does look smaller just not as much as I thought. I hope the rear steering on the Hummer is robust. With control being delegated to...
So many Hues of Compass Yellow represented in the various photos it's difficult to wrap my head around which is most representative. There is the fact that any color will appear differently depending upon lighting and monitor calibration. I've been in the Yellow camp from the first opportunity...
