What will we learn 5/17-5/23?

New pre-order here. Wait for next week, something exciting is coming! (maybe new online configurator)

Speaking of the configurator, I took a look under the hood to see if there were any changes of note (didn't see any). I did notice something I had overlooked before. There is an attribute within the R1T "definition" that seems odd:
"range":
{
"attrs": {
"title": {
"en-US": "Projected range"
},
"suffix": {
"en-US": "+ mi"
},
"units": {
"en-US": "mi"
}
},
"value": "279"
}

This my just be junk data, but 279 is an oddly specific number.

Also the unformatted date for the start of deliveries is 6/1
"deliveriesBegin": {
"attrs": {
"title": {
"en-US": "Deliveries begin"
}
},
"value": "2021-06-01T12:00:00.000Z"
}

Its been there for a while from what I recall. I take cache snapshots of the site from time to time. On that note I guess nothing this week. Time to cut grass and ponder what I could have done with all my wasted time.

You're suggesting maybe 279 miles rating on the initial R1T battery option

Would be a deflating outcome if true. I was hoping the "at least 300" would end up like 320. Not 20 fewer on the negative side. But yes, I know is reading raw code. Another gut punch to prep for maybe

Really hope it's not 279, ugh.

Is there a similar figure for the R1S? If it's 5-10% greater...

No, it just stood out as odd. I think it may be an attribute that was supplanted later. The 300+ and 400+ values are associated with the battery options in the data. If we could get some EPA numbers, I wouldn't have to irresponsibly speculate from bits of code.

 

[bowhunter]

The value for the R1S is 300 for that attribute.

 

[skyote]

The value for the R1S is 300 for that attribute.

? Right around 7.5%, which could be legit. I'd be surprised by such a round number though. Man, that official EPA/range testing announcement can't come soon enough.

What a TURD/FURD.

We’ve been hoodwinked, bamboozled, lead astray, run amok and flat out deceived.

Yeah I’m hoping for 300+ on the R1S and with sport wheels.

if 279 is for the R1T with 21s, those with 20s configured are probably going to see like 266 or so at another 5% loss maybe.

Under 300 and more may make me keep my Model X order instead as we were told 300+.

And then don’t forget about loss of range due to battery degragation and that you don’t charge to 100% unless going in a trip. And that electric vehicles are greatly affected by wind and climbing even the smallest hills. Folks,. Trust me. range is king. you Need the most range you can afford.

 

[Rivianmd]

Range is by far and away the spec I am most concerned about. If they chose to market the R1T where only the 21” ekes out at 300 that would be a major blunder. I was hoping for 320-325 for 21” on the R1S. These could represent 20” ranges.

 

[Rivianmd]

I should add, the math never added up when they mentioned the battery could be less than 135kwh. Just doesn’t calculate with existing 2170 cell wh and battery count.

 

[trickflow]

I'm assuming that number is for the 250+ mile battery. Or I should say hoping.
