I'm predicating my guesstimate on my understanding that independent safety and crash test organizations (e.g. NHSTA, IIHS) require the vehicle to test is from auto manufacturer's production assembly line. And of course this also assumes Rivian wants these ratings before they launch. Based on...

tl;dr * Rivian submitted plans for two building additions. 262,000 sq ft for battery shop. 210,000 sq ft to expand body shop for R1T and R1S. * Increased demand for its vehicles for both consumer and commercial use * Plant Communication Manager Zach Dietmeier said Rivian expects to have the...

Same here. IIRC May 12 is shortly before Rivian announced the Customer Engagement Center was going to be located in Normal and that they would be hiring 40 or so employees by the end of the year. Perhaps with the additional staff they're trying to communicate more or at least with the new and...

It will be interesting if Rivian can leverage the Zoox system, or any other for that matter, considering Rivian has already developed, to a degree, a software infrastructure to support their own level 2 autonomy and the eventual level 3 and higher. It will probably come down to how well these...

Seriously? You might want to qualify your question or we're going to end up with hundreds of replies ranging from the official exterior colors to the purchase process and delivery, to service and maintenance, pricing, details of purchase options (buy, lease, subscription), etc. Most of this...

Looks like Rivian sneaked in 3 more performance testing video snippets. OP updated with following: (0:13) - Performance Testing: Trail | Electric Adventure Vehicles | Rivian (0:40) - Performance Testing: Drift | Electric Adventure Vehicles | Rivian (0:18) - Performance Testing: Launch |...

Rivian posts new awesome video of the R1T in action. From video description: "Last weekend, we grabbed our cameras and chased a few engineers around the desert as they put the R1T through its paces. Rock crawling. Off-roading. On-track. Enjoy. Test vehicle shown in camouflage (no, we didn’t...

I think it was worth a thread. Even though I've been subscribed to a couple of the TFL YT channels for a few months I've only seen a handful of their videos. I believe it was Andre's (sp?) initial report on Rivian with Brian Gase and another at the Denver event that included RJ and Charles...

Those are two nice racks but I still wonder how effective a tilt rack system would be with regards to gaining access to the cargo area when the rear entry is a split hatch - lower half a tail gate and upper half (window) swings up like a hatch - which the R1S has. BTW, here are two decent...

Perhaps, though Ford (read legacy-player-that's-been-down-this-road-before company) is moving things along, seemly faster than Rivian even when you factor in Rivian revealed a year before Ford. None the less, I'm curious about these "several dates were scheduled" not so much in the dates but...

Indeed that will be convenient for me if Rivian offers test drives from the Normal plant. I don't believe they have announced that but I suspect they will especially now since that is where the customer engagement center is located. A little over a year ago there was speculation that "Rivian...

I use to have a '67 Mustang convertible so I kinda have a soft spot for them. Though the Mach-E looks very little like most of its ICE predecessors, I do like the styling of the Mach-E ... among other aspects such as what you mentioned. My options are limited by focusing on American made...

Ditto. And to your point, I received the following in an email yesterday from Ford - "the all-electric Mustang Mach‍-‍E you reserved is almost yours. In the next few days, you’ll be able to take the important step of completing your order and verifying your details to confirm your place in line. "

* Conditioned air space where frunk, bed and tunnel are not. E.g. groceries, objects that should not be exposed to freezing or hot temperatures, etc * Secure space for taller items. (I frequently will travel with bikes in the cargo area. Also protected from weather. And, yes, my windows are...

Welcome to the forum @LeoH . :fist bump: Sorry to hear about your troubles with Tesla service. I guess the best way to get great customer service is to not need it in the first place. :fingerscrossed: Hopefully that will be the case with Rivian, but if/when it's needed, that whatever they (via...

Added the following to OP: June 12, 2020 - RIvian Youtube (2:29) - Family Outing | Our Team | Rivian Closer look at the white camo R1T that's no longer just white. I suspect Rivian could raise a lot $ if they were to auction it off.

The sliding console is a nice idea but having it powered seems a little overkill. IMO it adds unnecessary weight and materials (wiring, motor) for something I can easily do manually. I can just see something in the lower bin shifting causing it to get jammed up the next time it slides and...

Rivian has re-posted the Episode Three video. However, as suspected it has been edited down as it is now 46 seconds shorter and modified from the original back on June 9th. E.g. noticed in the video that the white board the women is standing in front of is now blurred out. ;) Added...
