Sure it does. Taking shares out of circulation means when they need more money they can get it with less dilution.

Very much this. I think it's just a marketing effort to not dilute the distinction of the flagship brand. Bringing 1000+ HP to the refreshed R1 will make that extra 50 grand (compared to the 2&3) that much more of a differentiator - though imagine that little R3X with a quad motor system - yowza.

Those yellow lines do make it look like a back-up camera view.

My BMW i3s is like that and it's never been a problem for charging.

Maybe the admin could create a new subforum labeled "disturbing" :)

In a gadda da vida, baby.

Michael Bay was not the cinematographer.

Here you go.

Farley's been smelling his own kool-aid. As a startup Rivian is far better able to care for a single customer (Amazon) who has consistent requirements across their fleet than the thousands of Peter Rooter Plumbing and Drain Service small shops. Sure there's more risk, but rolling the hard six...

It still took me 3 hours to buy out the lease on my i3s at the BMW dealer, even with the cashiers check in hand. I'm not interested in that any longer. It's abusive.

Also, an 800v motor can literally run twice as fast as a 400v one, as high as 20,000 RPM (Formula One, here we come with our R1F1 :). I've read studies that say 800v will be the standard much sooner than some expect, perhaps in as little as 3 years.

Not really. The same concept of switching dual packs of batteries from parallel to series for 400V/800V charging can also be applied to driving 400V/800V motors as desired.

(scratches head) Everyone seems to want to ignore this, but Rivian is right where their choice to prefer quantity over quality inevitably positions companies. Dismissing CR's polling results is not the path to success - we'd be crowing about it if Rivian was rated at the top of that assessment.

Oh, please. Anyone that would intentionally damage the trails are simply going to floor it anyway whoever they're in the mood. A greatly reduced turning radius at the expense of tire slippage would be very handy in many spots, and their stated concerns about controlling the maneuvers would be...
