There's no technological limitation on output wattage. It depends on how they implement it.

Where to start? 1. You have not incurred any injury yet. 2. You're aware of a "potential" issue before you've made any purchase. Would make it hard to argue that you were somehow cheated should you now - with that knowledge - decide to purchase the vehicle. 3. I have owned and/or driven a...

Uhh, they are launching with it. They're currently fulfilling Launch Edition orders exclusively. Once those orders are fulfilled they're dropping that color (unless they decide not to, these aren't legally-binding terms). If you mean why aren't they literally rolling the first production...

The Land Rover green is nothing like the Launch color. Think WWII combat Jeep.

Word. It's a theoretical gain of charge. A stationary, properly-aligned array in full sunlight will come close, but a moving vehicle in varying weather conditions will get a tiny fraction of that.

You won't get me to apologize for choosing to live in the historic manufacturing hub of America. Are roads lead to/from here.

It's always looked like that. The confusion is likely because they tend to show Forest Green in their videos and photos, but Launch has always been olive drab.

These are touring programs and have to start somewhere. Everyone obviously wants them to start in their hometown. So far you're out $0 and nothing else.

It's just a placeholder, I wouldn't get my panties in a bunch over color until there's something out there in need of paint. I would have gladly answered "yes" as my color choice for all it matters.

New/improved/affordable battery technology is the holy grail of electric vehicledom. It will not suddenly appear without notice. A company like Quantumscape got international headlines for baby steps in solid state battery development. So if you hear anything "a few months" after purchase it...

EVs compete with other EVs. Nobody is buying a Rivian because of fuel economy. It's for people who are moving towards an EV platform. A PHEV can appeal to buyers who want better fuel economy but it's rarely a great compromise.

I'm counting on big advances in potato battery technology. Cheap, plentiful and renewable. Only downside is occasional famine.

When your definition of "personal liberty" includes freedom from wearing a seat belt then it's time to call it a night.

Sirius is subscription-driven. They only charge for the heroin, not the syringe.

We need to start thinking outside the box, like our neighbors across the pond...

The 150 mile range of the van is an Amazon design spec, not a limitation of the platform. They can easily double that range given the size of the vehicle - even with added weight.

He's a consultant to the company and was previously consulting for the investors pre-investment. Not sure how that impacts his ability to opine.

No "secret" in getting reviews. There is no doubt in my mind that they are engaging in sound business and marketing practices in planning for their production launch. I'm also sure that they have all sorts of agreements in place about news embargoes. You'll know when they want you to know.

Completely separate production lines. Amazon is a good customer in addition to being an investor so they're going to meet those commitments without risk of production delays.

If pre-Rivian Rivian could have released a model commercially they likely would have. The decade of misfires that preceded the current offerings was certainly a learning curve but I doubt that a 12-year ramp-up was part of the plan in 2009.
