  1. Factory Shutdown Bingo

    Maybe a max pack that isn't stupid for the cost
  2. Factory Shutdown Bingo

    Did they? That would be great
  3. Ford "PRICE WAR" drives RIVN under $10

    They will likely do convertible senior notes once SP gets low enough that the buyers will value the potential upside on the equity.
  4. Early Reservation Pricing Deadline September 2024

    Coupon holders are the reluctant group. Rivian is not going to try and force that group to buy pre-shutdown model. There's no 2.0 vehicle coming. Maybe version 1.05
  5. Silverado pricing -- ouch...

    It's the same skateboard as the Hummer, so it's not a completely new vehicle. With cells not in short supply and GM being slow in many lines perhaps they will make a lot of vehicles this year. What I like about the Silverado is that it can hide among ICE pickups. The Hummer is designed to be...
  6. Out of Spec seemingly confirms R1 refresh in about a month

    Journalists may get a preview with a publishing date restriction. That release of restriction would presumably correspond to the reopening of the stores ability to configure new production
  7. Ford "PRICE WAR" drives RIVN under $10

    Most people who actually need a pickup aren't shopping the R1T. The Lightning Flash looks like a nice pickup for some buyers. Obviously the most elite and special group here on the forum are the three of us who own Illinois corn farms. I'm not a farmer, but the other two guys are. They are also...
  8. Ford "PRICE WAR" drives RIVN under $10

    Your understanding of business is nonexistent. Or youre being humorous. Can't tell
  9. Tri-Motor and Premium Trim added to R1 VIN database

    "It's cool how my stuff is always the BEST!!"
  10. Tesla Model Y price slashing again, and the future of RIVN

    The difference is that Tesla owns the cars and sets the price. Like Rivian. But Tesla is an ongoing business regardless of the auto market this year. Rivian only stays in business by acquiring more working capital. externally. A lot of people will prefer a real square back SUV. As a decendant...
  11. Rivian's infinite R1T Max Pack Inventory

    Highway range of 300 miles is usually plenty. But do the math for going into a remote area. 40kWh each way. Add a 20kWh safety buffer. So 100kWh just to get to the destination. On the large pack that leaves 35kWh to use in the wilderness for both travel and camp use. That doesn't work. There...
  12. Vandalism on Rivian - sharing for awareness

    I agree. The worst thing about Nextdoor are the daily users who pick over every little thing. The best thing about Nextdoor are the daily users who will hunt him down like a rabid dog. He's driving a Prius, not a random vehicle. He probably has a job.
  13. Rivian Wall Charger (EVSE) - newer version

    Those measurements are provided by the vehicle, so not normally put in a residential wall connector. At 2x the price, wall connectors designed for multiple users track usage. Ubiquiti EV Station would be one such model. Rivian's wall connector is expensive as it doesn't seem to do power...
  14. Rivian's infinite R1T Max Pack Inventory

    I don't see weight coming down significantly any time soon. The state of the art would be battery storage for aircraft. But the vehicle/energy storage side of the business is cost driven, as the new cell type, LFP, is lower energy density. Rivian using higher energy density cells for max pack...
  15. RJ Scaringe: "Big efficiency updates to our plant are officially underway!"

    What you describe is not contribution margin
  16. Rivian's infinite R1T Max Pack Inventory

    Attaching significant feelings to an object that you didn't design or build, or a company that you don't contribute to, is not what fully formed adults do.
  17. Rivian's infinite R1T Max Pack Inventory

    Schadenfreude I was an original max pack reservation holder.
  18. Rivian's infinite R1T Max Pack Inventory

    RVT is a lot lighter than the Unimog U500 I owned. Size is relative to other vehicles and use case. Rivian is likely less efficient than full size pickup EVs on a volume basis. Using a Rivian as a daily driver is operating one of the least efficient EVs that can be comfortably driven around town.
  19. Rivian's infinite R1T Max Pack Inventory

    I agree. To date Chevy doesn't seem to want to sell their Silverado EVs. But now battery supply has opened up and cell prices have dropped. So perhaps that will change. Dropping the price last week was a stange move if they don't plan to actually deliver the big battery versions. One...
