For pricing discussion 12V 100Ah batteries from Chinese companies like LiTime can be had on Amazon for about $300. American companies like Battle Born and Astro Lithium range from $600 to $1000. None of these have outlets. These are just with standard battery terminals. if rivian did something...

I hope that’s the price. On my wife’s suburban, GM charges us $240/yr for that same AT&T service

Speaking of high quality credit, what if someone with low credit applies and gets denied the ability to lease? Surely they would get their deposit refunded?

My guess is profitability wasn’t the number 1 goal with Alexa. The more entrenched with their products, the more likely you are to use their other services. They probably weren’t intending to lose $10B, that’s a big number even for them, and the future of the economy in tech is less forgiving...

Wow that red and black combo looks great! ?

They built two buccee’s in Florida on I-95 in the last few years. Neither of them has a single charging station. That seemed incredibly short sighted to me. As mentioned here, buccees is the perfect destination for chargers on a road trip.

EA shenanigans is my bet. I never had to use one, but the horror stories are plentiful.

What sort of experience does it take to get an "ideal" curve? I owned a Model S for a couple of years and my supercharging strategy was the same the very first time I used as it was the last time.

Great to see more electric trucks hitting the roads

Thank you for taking time out of your personal life to answer dozens of questions from strangers about a personal item you own. Unfortunately, not everyone can be pleased.

Looks like March is the earliest date so far.

Looks like its live now

Is it normal for an IPO to take this long to begin trading? I reached out to my advisor and he assured me it would be s00n ?

I’m curious the ratio of us who believe “real” deliveries have started. To date, there seems to be a consensus that all R1T’s delivered have gone to employees, former employees and investors. So what say you? Do these qualify as real deliveries or just an extended Beta?

A mere 14 minutes after I posted my hypothesis. I wish I could say this was the quickest I’ve been proven wrong but my wife would disagree.

Real deliveries won’t begin until after the IPO and everyone has cashed in. Rivian has nothing to gain by putting cars into real customer hands before the IPO. They’ve already established credibility and an approximately $80B valuation. I don’t consider these employee deliveries to be real...

Why is so much information left blank? Is that common or will it be filled in later?

So far the only confirmed deliveries have been to employees.

Enough of the misleading delivery communications from Rivian. They need to tell us an exact date the first member of this forum will receive their truck. Until then… vaporware. ;)

Yeah that sounds good on a brochure and all but in reality it’s very misleading. Pick up a static 40 pound weight. It’s not that difficult. Now try to catch that same weight that has fallen from 12 inches. There is a significant difference in the level of force exerted.
