  3. Wassym: Rivian isn't prioritizing autonomous driving (Business Insider article)

    You mean, Rivian isnā€™t planning on releasing a steering wheel-less vehicle any time soon??
  4. Rivian’s U.S. sales fell 34.9% in October (Ouch!)

    Motor Intelligence was soo wrong for Q3. It estimated Rivian delivered 15k vehicles, when Rivian delivered closer to 10K. This site is unreliable AF
  5. Service Appointment today: they won’t touch it for 2 weeks.

    The bottleneck isnā€™t service techs. Itā€™s the number of service bays. Rivian simply needs more service centers faster.
  6. Physical buttons in a car/vehicle are a bug!

    I saw the TechCrunch presentation, rather than a click-bait version of an article. Wassym is basically saying that voice enables a much richer UI that cannot be done with buttons alone. ChatGPT enabled voice commands, like ā€œtell me some good recommendations for food around me, and book a...

  11. Official: Scout EV SUV & Pickup debut w/ Gas Range Extender, 4x4, BOF, Lockers, Sway Bar Disconnect -- All Specs, Wallpapers, Videos

    I donā€™t have a charging curve handy. But I found this picture I took while at an EVgo station a few months ago. We have a Gen 2 R1S Dual Max. I will say that the peak doesnā€™t go as high as my Gen 1 R1T, which would see 210+ kW peak

    My max pack Gen 2 gets 200kw up to about low 50% SoC. I usually charge to 70% max and move onto the next charger. Exception might be a deep charge when going off-grid for a while. So Iā€™m usually charging about 25-30 min at a time most. Usually during a bathroom or food break

    Eh, Iā€™ll accept a consistent 200kw speed and curve. Donā€™t care too much about 800v. For the foreseeable future, Tesla Superchargers are going to be the dominant charging stations, and they wonā€™t be 800v

    Weā€™re talking about a car thatā€™ll be available when the next presidential election happens in 2028. Everything is based on plans with Scout at the moment; actuals are very far away. ā€œAs early as 2027ā€ will realistically be 2028. In the meantime, Rivian will have Gen 3 R1 out and possibly...

    There is revenue sharing via the JV, which Rivian owns 50%. So, I expect some level of profit per Scout vehicle to flow to Rivian ultimately

    Glad you like it. Itā€™s just not for me. For example, heritage gets zero points from meā€”itā€™s not even owned by an American company.
