Who? Haha, jk. I’m sure it’s a fine vehicle.

That’s true. Where are our drone arial shots of the factory so we can see the movements? Anyone live near Normal? That’s probably why there was so much more coverage of Tesla’s early productions, since they started in Silicon Valley. I can’t imagine too many people in Normal caring one way or...

Originally I had hoped that I would buy into the DSP and then when it’s time to pay for my Rivian, I could sell the stock and use that to pay down a good chunk of the price. I am a first half 2023 R1S reservation holder so I’m still hopeful that by the time I can take delivery I can sell a...

I think it also has to do with the fact that since that initial discussion took place, there are double the reservations so a lot of us who pre-ordered later in 2021 never got to engage in that topic. Curious that it seems from this thread that you either love AA/CP or hate it. I wonder if the...

Curious to see what my fellow Direct Share Participants are doing during these rocky times. I for one kept my initial position, which was 175 units at the IPO price and I bought an additional 45 since then during these latest drops. Also, did anyone cash out at the apex (~$170) and buy back in...

That’s from when they tried to silence me :). Jk. I’m the Mod in that thread. Last week, I asked about the need for Apple Car Play or Android Auto in the R1 models but someone informed me that there was no need for this topic again since a thread had already covered the topic. Obviously they...

It’s true that it was an LG battery but I don’t think GM gets a pass on that since this is part of their chosen process; “it’s LGs fault” is fine for lawyers but at the end of the day, they had to recall all Bolts because of a risk of them spontaneously bursting into flames while charging. I...

I thought EA stations were part of the settlement the govt had with VW for their Disel-gate where they were required to set up these chargers across the US. Are these same chargers now being used to gauge the consumers? I’m curious to know what the profit margins on these EA chargers are to know...

I don’t get why people are surprised that someone who took delivery of an R1T 2 months ago is a Rivian employee and that the employee would be barred from sharing information to the public about their early model vehicle. It’s been radio silence from owners until just the last couple of weeks...

Actually, this very thing came out this morning that Ford dealers can opt in to not allow resale of the Lightning for up to one year. I would be careful buying it with the hopes of reselling it. https://www.cnet.com/google-amp/news/ford-f-150-lightning-customers-reselling-trucks-scalpers/

This is probably the same thinking that keeps these old traditional manufactures in business. Make incremental changes to the same tired old models over 10 years and people keep buying them because they added a 8 inch LCD screen vs a 7 inch one. When I got my Tesla, (coming from a 2016 Cadillac...

I would think the Rivian would be able to connect to Wi-Fi so even if you opted out of the subscription LTE, I am sure you could get all upgrades through Wi-Fi when charging at home at night. Not sure how much map data it will store but worst case scenario, if you were out on the road and needed...

What are people’s thoughts on Apple CarPlay and Android Auto not being available in the Rivian R1 models? It seems like one ding from almost all car reviewers is that it’s missing CarPlay and AA and that it is a missed opportunity. I am of two minds; on the one hand, I think CarPlay and AA would...

I agree. Ford has been around for over a century and they build millions of vehicles but I would never consider buying a Ford. I’m sure the majority of their cars are adequate given their large scale manufacturing but adequate is unacceptable when paying $80,000 for a reasonably spec’d Lighting...

Nice! Just moved up one slot.

I figured all of those low prices we kept seeing were for their cheapest ratty model; based on Fords own estimate in the slide deck, those aren’t even popular. What is surprising is that even the most popular model, the Lariat, starts at $68,000 and thats for the standard range of 230 miles. If...

I went today and it was closed. Gotta try again soon and hopefully they change out the colors.

I was surprised that he said the hummer EV would be his choice and he rated it a 73, which matched the highest score he had ever given a vehicle. I haven’t seen this video yet but surprised he would rate the R1T the winner given his previous comment on the Hummer. I personally think the hummer...

Most people say you have to look at it in person to really appreciate it. I live in LA so I will drive over to Rivian center in Venice Beach to make my final decision on color since $2500 is a bit of an upgrade. Hope you get a chance to look at it live.

Pretty crazy to see a 7,000+ pound truck be on the list alongside Corvettes, Porches, BMW Ms, and other electric performance sedans.
