Rivian, like Tesla are too big to fail already. Every manufacturer has had a government bail out at one point or another if they get to that point but the long term demand and output for both is good. Again Rivian has a few more tricks up its sleeve for revenue streams. Hell it could land the...
Well back to the original question posed by OP, the reality is you do not start a company with a defined purpose and then abandon that purpose to adopt an approach and existence that goes 180 degs against the very purpose you established your existence upon. Reality is you work to make your...
Near zero drain before on my Gen1 R1T but pretty significant now post update. I keep getting loss of internet signal, but go for a short drive and no issue with connectivity. AT&T is horrible here so wondering if it is sucking battery up because constantly trying to connect to the world. How...
I get that, but after just vaporizing a $3,000 deposit in 2019 for a Saleen S1 to never get a refund back as the Car will never see the light of day. I just can’t do it unless I see it, sit in it and if possible even get a test ride. I just can’t bring myself to do it if you know what I mean.
Spoken like a Manitoban. Hey I grew up in Saskatchewan so thanks for the laugh.
Look, I didn’t have this kind of an issue with buying my Dodge Viper, not my Aston Martin nor our Genesis GV70 (10th one delivers in the US last year) we bought last year. Rivian is a lifestyle brand. For those of...
Registered for all the events for past 2 years and everything else Rivian has had to register for to at least see the truck(s)., everything except $1,000 deposit as only want to do that if I actually like and will buy the vehicle (not a buy and return or backout kind of person).
Where did this...
No way on earth I am laying 6 figures on a vehicle without seeing it, touching it and experiencing a ride first. Bought a number of very expensive vehicles in my life and these are my own words to live by. Also why I never buy vehicles at auction, sight unseen.
If Rivian can not accommodate, I...
Question but are all these order delivery as in sold? Or does Rivian at least have one that is available to sit inside, have them take me for a test ride, etc? I have really been wanting one but just can’t order one without seeing it, touching it, etc.
Thanks
Want to reflect big changes, should offer something truly unique like this hue off my 1995 Saleen S351R BASF Mystic Edition Speedster. First for the world in 95’.
RJ, call it “Dragons Breath”.
It's the holiday season. Why worry about mass marketing, updates, etc. during this time, especially when the product is not ready to deliver this moment? Be different if you could just pick it up and drive it home tomorrow, then market away. Right now it doesn't make sense to be letting everyone...
All of this is proof in the pudding. If it is a real car out there, that is 1/2 the battle. If not, it is just talk. No different than all these people saying they handle Cyber Technology today. Everyone talks about it, drops the buzz words but few are doing anything real. Tesla is out there...
Thanks guys;
This is helping! I do realize most is all concerns are in my head for some of it right now as far as my own mind limitations on what it can be or should be for expectations.
I have never owned an EV. It is really no different that overcoming buying a different brand for what they...
Alan, when you go way out in the middle nowhere Colorado or Wyoming, you are going to want a full charge in reserve. You just never know what you will encounter.
IMHO, this is part of the EV problem. It is not an all or nothing, not an it has to be all EV or Gasoline or whatever. It is about...
Thanks for the update but when the federal credits dissolve and they will, don’t expect a large % of owners to be installing their own power infrastructures at home. To truly compete with gasoline or diesel, EVs energy support systems need to be as portable and plentiful as gas stations period...
A novice to EVs and charging but charging times seem to be a big concern for many (me included). I only ever see one charging port on any EV vehicles, is there not a way to design a system on the vehicles for dual charging ports solution on these trucks and cut down charging times in 1/2 by...
Don’t have a Tesla, those that do, can you look at the Supercharging portion of contract? Willing to bet dollars to dimes that Tesla will eventually sell off the supercharger network to someone. They are an auto manufacturing company, not a utility provider, even though they do provide utility...
All I can say for the automotive community is "Thank God" the Ford Mustang Mach E and the Aston Martin DBX were also released in the same week. I mean the Tesla Truck made the Mach E look good and it looks like a week old bloated dead horse. The Aston Martin DBX is just a beautiful vehicle...
Ha! Ha! The comments on here are pretty entertaining. I don't think I could put enough paper bags over my head if I bought and drove that Tesla Truck.
Price, etc. withstanding, let's just look at aesthetics of the two for a second. Absolutely no comparison between the two and in the end...
