The radical exoskeleton structure has since turned into a more conventional unibody design: https://insideevs.com/news/676664/tesla-cybertruck-body-in-white-leaked/

Complete non-answer for the performance dual motor upgrade question. Either Rivian doesn’t yet know the answer…. or Rivian knows people won’t like the answer?

Maybe people are tired of the same 4 basic car shapes in the same 5 colors for the past half decade.

Rivian’s site does specifically state that Performance is a software upgrade: https://stories.rivian.com/difference-between-r1-drive-systems But it doesn’t say anything about purchasing it as an add-on later. It would be stupid of them not to allow that though, due to the number of people...

Looks like I'll be sticking with the one and only large-pack configuration that will have any sort of tax benefit... Silver, dual-motor, large pack, 21" road. This shall henceforth be known as the "IRS Edition."

Got it. So an extreme vehicle needs extreme electricity while it's sitting in the garage, just absolutely slaying those electrons, all day and all night long. So much more extreme than a Model 3 which is just a pansy car that simply is too wimpy to absolutely freaking demolish battery kwh in the...

How extreme is a vehicle sitting inactive in the garage?

Is that 10k miles without rotating the tires?

I also have both reservations, so it's TBD which one I go with depending on timing. I originally placed a reservation for Tri-motor CT with FSD. Hopefully I can drop FSD from my final config without affecting my position in line. I also want a vehicle with an exterior that I don't have to care...

Have you driven trucks before? It’s big and heavy.

I just came across Will Prowse's deep dive into the onboard pro power (he's a well-known YouTuber among off-grid solar fans), he had some... issues. I hope it's more of an isolated case (for the issues with the truck itself, never mind the L2 charging network problems) because there are so many...

Seems like the triangle mirrors will cut off the most important parts of the view.

My Model 3 is a unicorn… over 4 years and the only service appointments were for a 12V battery replacement and cabin air filters. That’s why I’m holding on to it for a while longer (even though it’s out of warranty) until my R1T is ready. I hope the Rivian holds up nearly as well. I did have a...

I’m pretty sure I’m going with an LA Silver R1T, dual motor large pack on 21”, which is the only large-pack configuration that (in theory) will qualify for the federal tax rebate.

Damn that thing has a lot of moving parts.

The Cybertruck is going to invite people to try and break the windows just to see if they can.

Any issues with leaving the adapter plugged to the Tesla cable full time? I just had my Tesla wall charger installed (replacing the NEMA 14-50 I've been using for years). I have an R1T on order which hopefully will replace my Model 3 late this year. Aside from the built in hanger not being...

Haven’t finalized yet since I have many months to go, but most likely dual motor. I think the in-house enduro drivetrain will be more capable than expected in terms of performance and efficiency.

What I love about fast EV’s - I can punch it on back roads and never draw any attention.

I wouldn’t be worried, but the location of your nearest Rivian service center might be a factor if any warranty issues come up. Plus side: the factory warranty is really good Minus side: but it depends on where your nearest service center is located I’m in the Atlanta area so I know I have...
