Here’s another article about the Amazon van. It has a few more interesting details, including this statement:
There’ll be three sizes of vehicle, eventually, scaled to suit different locations – from tight urban environments to more rural applications – and with different configurations of...
Ironically, I just saw this article posted by Consumer Reports. I didn’t want to have a unit that needed to be hardwired, so I purchased the JuiceBox 40 this summer, to take advantage of the credit. I’m still waiting for my electrician to install the new 50 Amp circuit...
As I recall, his mantra has always been to “under promise and over deliver.” If that’s what you mean by a sandbagger, I see it in a positive, not negative connotation.
I’m one of those people. I definitely want a fully electric SUV with seating for 6-7. I was really hoping for the Lincoln/Rivian SUV project, but when that was scrapped, I placed a deposit on the R1S. The only alternative I’m seeing, in the near future, is the Volvo XC90 Recharge BEV coming out...

“Congratulations on placing a preorder on the R1S! For home setup, additional equipment (eg: Wall Box) with a CCS connector should do the trick. Using a J1772 connector and a 40 A circuit, you can expect a full...
And this from the description on their website:
“Plus, the Grand Wagoneer concept features a no-compromise plug-in hybrid electric vehicle powertrain system, following through with our plans to offer electrification options on all models in the next few years.”
I just saw this article, posted today, about the Rebelle Rally.

”We’re benchmarking the greatest,” Richard Vaughan, Rivian’s director-crafted quality, says, citing Lamborghini, Bentley, Lincoln and Audi.
