This particular topic aside....they seem to be on a steady cadence of Thursday news drops, so maybe we're building towards something in the coming weeks....
Thanks for your service. I did 12 in the Navy as well, but the deployment checklist was a little different...Dodge Neons and Chevy Cavaliers didn't need to be plugged in while I was gone. LOL
Sounds like they did their homework and chose a supplier whose cells can handle some "adventuring"...

That's about what I'm expecting. In a long-term, strategic view, I'm hoping the rumored IPO gives them the influx of capital they need to build out production capacity.
I'm honestly hoping for a little sooner than that, maybe place the order this time next year, for a Summer 2022 delivery?
Either way, it's not a dire situation. My X only has 16K miles at the moment.
I have been lurking for a while, and then decided today to put in my pre-order. I'll defer when my number is called the first time, though, because I want the Max Pack.
I'm in a unique spot where, depending on the actual delivery date whenever I get around to ordering an R1S with the Max Pack, my trade-in will cover a large portion of my Rivian sticker price, BUT, how will all that be handled? I'm guessing someone like carmax will physically take the trade-in...
pretty sure that level 2 Chargers are intended to be an answer to Tesla's destination charging Network. If you read the description, it is designed for you to charge while shopping or eating, Etc.
There's nothing wrong with having some of these sprinkled in
I assume it will be like the official Tesla map, and they'll put pins in areas they EXPECT to build, and even then, the pin will be on the geographic center of that town, and not necessarily the exact planned location.
Still, this is aggressive. I love it.
By the way people......BUY when the...
they're smart enough to know that this is Tesla's "moat" in the EV world right now. I'm excited that they're going up 95 through Maine all the way to the border (while also opening up Baxter State Park/Katahdin), and also Rt 9 to New Brunswick.
Just need one in that Central VA black hole...
