Indy Service Center Coming Soon?

Ralph was out today to do the service related to wheel hub retorquing and said that an Indy service center is on the agenda. He believes that a site has already been selected, didn't know where, and that it was in a permitting phase now. Maybe in 2026 we can have a local service center

Potential market for Rivian R1T and R1S (Police Cruisers)

After watching Consumer Report's Podcast...

  • Talking Cars 410: Driving the Rivian R1S SUV (35 minutes)
  • Talking Cars 361: Driving the Rivian R1T Electric Pickup Truck (24 minutes)
...I was amazed how many times they went back to how fast Rivian's R1 vehicles are compared to other vehicles (especially the more recent R1S review).

They were giddy with excitement.

How many police chase scenes have we witnessed over the years and who knows how many criminals were able to outrun the police vehicles.

SOLUTION? Easy. They need faster police cruisers and who builds the fastest...Rivian of course.

May not be a gigantic market, but who knows. They could also buy Rivians as undercover vehicles.

  • Expensive for sure, that could be a problem
  • Making sure they have the time and facilities to keep these vehicles charged could also be a concern.
Would love to see someone with the technology mockup a few images of a R1T and R1S as an unbeatable Police Cruiser.

Thoughts?

PS: to view the R1T and R1S video podcast you need to become an online CR member. I just joined the online CR for 1 year for around $19. I do not work for CR but have been a paper magazine subscriber for around 40 years. My dad got me interested when I was young. You get so much more info about their auto reviews than the April Auto Issue.

Heard the same rumor but happy it sounds like it is getting closer.
