Believe it or not . . . "Fields said the adjacent site will be the future home to warehousing, parts suppliers, a customer center to take delivery of new vehicles and perhaps a Rivian farm-to-factory agricultural operation to feed plant workers. "

Anyone have any intel on the longer range R1S coming in 2022? I know it wont have the "Max Pack" but anyone know how much longer than the "300+" for the LE? Anyone have any info or speculation? I think I read that RJ said they were getting 335-ish from the R1S test beds in real world driving...

Currently live in Seattle but building a house in Fulshear outside of Houston. Will be moving in early/mid 2022.

You guys had me at "its the same thing - dont worry about it". Thanks!

Hello folks - I am building a new home and I have requested a 60A/240V circuit for my R1S. My builder keeps telling specifying a 60A/220V circuit. From an electrical perspective, I often see 220/240V called out. Should I insist on 240V or is it a distinction without a difference? Thanks!

I have been debating this vs trading in to Rivian. How does the online store offer compare to trade in value?

If you can't beat 'em, buy 'em. If you can't buy 'em, sue 'em.

Thats interesting. The last I heard (granted, it was a while ago), that was being discussed from talks RJ gave but I wasnt aware it was official.

Riddle me this - exactly WHERE can you get warranty service? Inquiring minds want to know!

I think the break-in period probably applies more to the driver than the car. When I got my Tesla Model X (normal, not Performance) I wasnt ready for the instant torque. It takes some getting used to. If you pull off the lot and say "lets see what this baby can do", get ready for a large...

I have charged my 2016 Tesla Model X as a daily driver to 90% (Tesla recommendation for DD) for more than 5 years. I need to charge every night because my daily drive is 80 miles round trip and I have errands and stuff some days. I have lost about 10 miles max range in that time. The...

I love your optimism!!! For myself, I am leaning toward delaying until a larger battery pack is available on the R1S. Also, I need more info on service before I will feel comfortable pulling the trigger.

There is no substitute for range - get the biggest battery available is my advice. As to your driving habits, your daily is fine - more than fine even. I have a 2016 Tesla model X with a (rare) 60KW battery and drive 80 miles round trip every day and still have juice for errands at the end...

We are quickly approaching the point of dimishing returns where the desire for secrecy will work against Rivian. Everyone knows R1T/R1S is coming. Everyone knows what it looks like. Everyone knows the most important features included. Hell, Tesla has probably made more than a few preorders...

I dont have one of the very early reservations but I will not be finalizing my order until more info is forthcoming. I am confident it will but the question is when.

Rivian better crush it with the R1T and R1S, and they need to be more proactive getting their brand out in the market. I agree. Many of us have said Rivian needs better, more frequent communications and brand awareness activities. I am not really worried about a Wrangler BEV. Hard-core...

My info is over 5 years old at this point but when I did a trade with Tesla, there was no negotiation - take it or leave it. Now that there is pressure to keep the sales pipeline moving? I have no idea.

My situation is a little easier - I am trading in a paid off 2016 Tesla Model X. But it sure seems to be problematic that 6 months before delivery they have not "ironed" out their financing plans. I hope its more a matter of they DO have them ironed out but are not ready to announce them quite...

I am keenly interested in this topic as well. Its only one of a set of topics that have yet to be addressed but will be critical for many folks to understand before Order Day.

At this point, all they need for a retail location is one of the prototype vehicles and a store front. Everything else is online so they can scale pretty quickly with more locations.
