Switched to Adventure Package - Delivery Window?

[hiimisaac]

Rivian is claiming 4 seconds 0-60 with the dual motor and I expect them to be able to hit that. The motors will be more powerful than the current Bosch motors, so even though there will be half as many motors they will produce 70-80% of the power of the quad motors.

I actually think that quad/Standard Pack might be the sweet spot as you'll likely get very fast charging if the new batteries are in fact 800v and you'll be signficantly ligher than the Large pack. I wouldn't be surprised if your road trip times would be nearly identical with that set up compared to a Quad/Large due to increased efficiency and decreased charge times. The only thing keeping me from going that route is the timeline.

And the fact that Rivian won't let you configure quad with Standard Pack. I'd 100% do it if I could just because I want the 0-60 time. But it's probably best for my wallet (both upfront and tire costs) that I can't.

I went from Adventure/White/BM/Quad Motor/Large Pack down to Adventure/White/BM/Dual Motor/Standard pack this morning.

After weighing all the pros/cons of LFP, and accepting that my chance of delivery was small anyways... and guessing a 5s 0-60 on LFP w/ dual motor... I think the cost savings it worth it. That, combined with them getting through some production woes and hopefully getting 800v and heat pump... I think it's worth it.

I like your strategy. As my father used to say, never buy a new car in its 1st year of production.

A 2023 delivery is fine by me. It gives Rivian some time to iron the kinks and refine the assembly line. I am hoping to be in the 15-20k VIN range.

That's what has kept me from switching to Adventure. However, with Rivian's track record of perpetual delays, I am starting to worry that it might slip to 2024!
