So heres the thing - Rivian productized the Large pack first, making everything else they put forward as ambitions to produce exponentially more expensive. SO - we are seeing them produce the options and colors in batches that are *easiest and more profitable to produce* right now, and frankly...

Yep, I have an order for one of those, a Cybertruck and a Silverado as well. Im also considering going to a Hybrid F150. But the R1T is still my first choice. J

Ya, I am on my second Tesla I know all too well of what you speak. :). This 'screwing cheaper margin customers' - bad business, but I would not put it past Rivian given the relationship many have had with them here on this forum. Still, even if they put - say - 20k orders at the higher price...

I have 2 active orders: one from last year and one from January. NEITHER of them has an estimated delivery date, I have NEVER heard from a guide, and I live less than 15 minutes from the new Austin, TX service and delivery center. As much as I would love to tell you this is realistic, I think...

Man, does this resonate with me. Ive bought and sold more than 50 new cars in the last 20 years (between mine, wife and kids) and Ive never experienced more of a 'you're a child, sit there shut up and wait' attitude than I have experienced with Rivian. Its a very expensive purchase, its a long...

Ive talked to CS quite a few times (earlier this week actually) and the only thing they ever say is "After 2022" meaning really nothing to me. They also told me this week that in late August we should all have a delivery estimate if we locked in at the OLD PRICING - which is apparently key...

Yeah certainly true - as stated your mileage may vary. Here in Texas, CCS is a tough proposition. If I look at a map of any area of Texas (aside from Austin obviously) - there are like NO EA stations, or there are lower speed chargers that - on a 135kwh battery - are basically useless for...

Why? Everything there is true. I know plenty about the CCS network, and I plan to avoid it as much as I can. Its nowhere near built out like Tesla's network and everyone knows it. I know of no one who is absolutely enamored of the CCS network. Half the time the stations dont work, plug and...

So, this person has a lot of good points. Lets face it - charging *Anywhere* other than a Tesla Supercharger *blows* - plain and simple. Ive heard this time and time again from my non-Tesla EV friends and they all say the same thing. The issues with the Rivian are just new car company stuff...

I would personally go at least 80a service on each breaker serving an EV, as the wire gauge needs to be higher for the larger amount of power and a lot of companies are moving to faster/fatter pipes to charge. An 80a circuit can supply anything below it, power pulls as power is required so...

I built my new home in 2019 and set it up for charging as well as solar. So, your mileage may vary but I did the following: 1. I installed 2x 80 amp circuits on the garage wall in front of where I park, one for each potential EV. 2. I have a separate shutoff right next to each charge...

Obvious question, but what about the 22's? My preorder has 22 inch bright and never heard from anyone. Are they supply constrained on those as well? Inquiring minds, well, you know.

I agree with this completely. The CT will need to be *at least* as expensive as a model Y to break even (new tooling, stainless body, brand new production line etc.). I also just dont think its a viable replacement for a real truck. Real truck buyers who want to electrify are going directly...

I sure hope this holds. Planning to ditch my 21 MYP if Rivian ever contacts me to get delivery scheduled. Im even tempted to sell it now to keep the $$ and just drive my other car. But with Rivian's track record thus far does not seem like a great idea.
