CA is in a unique position and HIGHLY incented to move more drivers to EV than ICE cars..
On any given DAY CALIFORNIA produces anywhere from ~ 75% - >120% of electricity demand generated from renewables the largest of which is of course solar. From ~ March to ~ October, the bulk of the...
You’re not missing anything really, although nobody really knows EXACTLY what is going to transpire.. But if one is NOT looking for full hands off / eyes off autonomy, or robotaxi type of capability (there is a bit of confusion on whether or not Autonomy+ WILL indeed allow much more hands off...
I have an R2 order, but it was always going to be my SO who buys the car, titles it, registers it and insures it. IT appears that Rivian will allow the final end buyer to be different than a reservation holder right at the end when it’s all being papered.. YMMV
It will be pretty easy for them to cross reference certainly with any prior CA rebate, or possible DMV registration data.. that said, it probably just means one has to pay it back - probably not including any penalty. YMMV
Yeah I figured they might want to keep the actual order spreadsheet clean.
I tried to extract all the data, do some OCR on the screenshots, let NOTEBOOK LLM parse the text and table it.
If anyone wants to clean it up, or if the mod wants to put it upfront, clean it up and let ppl correct or...
Well, California EV tax credit/P.O.S. rebate goes into effect TOMORROW so once those funds are depleted they are gone for now..
although, I doubt even all these buyers would A) qualify or B) would saturate the 135M allocated ;-)
A spreadsheet would be good.
but the current pattern read is this from text only, couldn’t parse the images without writing some perl. ;-)
Pattern read: current/prior Rivian ownership helps, but not deterministically. The clearest accelerant appears to be Launch Edition interest, with “not...
I just logged in and it says “you’ll be able to order August-September, 2026” No email yet, getting even the 2FA took 5 minutes.
First day reservation holder, not current owner, near SC, reserved day 1, hour 1, minute 13. Go figure.
If seems if one reserved day 1 VERY early and even not a...
Good TIP!.. straight to the source.

A better route planner.. it’s a website and a great app for plotting EV vechicle driving and charging.. much more capable than any OEM app, Rivian liked it so much THEY BOUGHT THE COMPANY.
It’s free to use, but paid for some enhanced features.. although many of the legacy enhanced features have...
Nice consolidated analysis!. gold star!
The color VIN assignments make sense, not necessarily the color choice (although there is some logic there) but the clustering.. as paint shops don’t like to switch over, so they pool up for painting as many parts and skins as possible before switching...
WHAT??? Newton is standing up and shaking his fists.
Now granted, they never imagined probably objects where aerodynamic drag were a factor that could be measured against energy expenditure (they CERTAINLY didn’t have that too other than subjective or how much OATS the horse ate before and...
Honestly, I’d just get a box of quality microfiber cloths and mix up some quality solution for only the off gassing residue (good videos online) and do it once every 2-3 months.. the early off gassing does occur, but it tapers pretty quickly IMHO.
