Is there anything more high-end than a 100k Rivian? :giggle: I would enjoy TFL also. I blend the reviews opinion. Doug, Rich, Kyle @ Out of Spec Motoring, the old guys on TFL and the younger son (and his perspective). Between those 5-6 people; I kinda get a feel for what is really real...

True. But it still speaks (to an extent) about the real interest the public has about the brand (Rivian). There is a 2 week old... 10 hour long video of Dodge vehicles racing around...that has 335k views. That just is weird. Like who even? Maybe....it doesn't hurt as bad seeing that the Model...

I love YouTube reviews. Especially with Out of Spec motoring. The nuances of EV ownership requires that kind of content for me. To see the charging speeds across a variety of charging stations is priceless To see the payment process across a variety of charging station brands is priceless To...

LG battery factory is in Holland, Michigan. Just 2-3 hours north of Normal Illinois. Not sure where the nearest Samsung factory is. There are other articles that cite Rivian saying that the vehicles are designed to be battery agnostic - and meant to work with LG or Samsung - or even a...

I have grown bitter with Rivian over the delays and I love to pick on them; so take this with a grain of salt. But is anyone else disappointed in the view count of the MotorTrend review? Just 50k views - and video has been up for more than a day now. Not sure if this says more about the...

When will we see actual vehicles in actual independent reviewers hands on YouTube? Like Rich Rebuilds, Out of Spec motoring, Doug Demuro? I was hoping we would see more

Dear Lord, Please don't tell me that I have to use Alexa for voice commands. If anything, I want to be able to pick my voice assistant (Siri, Google Assistant). Please don't tell me I need to login with an Amazon account to use this vehicle. I want to be able to use all the services I have...

Q 2020 R1S reservation holder here. I am right there with ya. I haven’t waited nearly as long; but the Rivian experience has been a test of patience. It is like we are holding out for our “one true love”; but in years past - there have been no fish in the sea. Now there are more fish in the sea...

They don’t let batteries of certain sizes in certain places on an airplane for a reason. This was news as time went on, right? We learned...oh - a cell phone could maybe.....take a plane down. LG batteries are the common theme with a lot of fires, and batteries in general that have this “tab...

So 2170 batteries cannot catch fire, regardless of the implementation? I am reading about a 4000 series battery from Tesla that is their next-gen battery, which is contactless (for some sort of tab component, of which component this is - i have no clue). This contactless battery technology is...

https://insideevs.com/news/464541/audi-etron-sales-improved-us-2020/ I don’t think Rivian will be delivering vehicles globally for quite some time, especially not at the volume Audi is capable of (e.g. when will Rivian be selling in Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Ireland, United Kingdom, South...

I am seriously wondering. Sept is next week; people should be getting deliveries just hours from now. Won’t people have their actual delivery dates and times by now?

Rivian R1S reservation holder here

This is true.

6k Etron EV sales in 2020. 30k Model X sales in 2020 (have these stats handy to remind us of how finite the size of the EV market exists for 80k SUV/truck models. I am really interested to see how Rivian, Hummer and Ford change this) Since we don't have much information to work with regarding...

When is the first vehicle delivery to occur? Last I checked, it was September 2021 starting date for R1T. I imagine some people will be receiving their vehicles just hours from now? Anyone want to place any bets? I predict RJ announcing delay of R1T deliveries in the 2nd or 3rd week of...

Q3 2024 If the delivery occurs sooner, you will be happy. If the deliver occurs later, you will be sad. If I tell you a 2022 date; it is wishful thinking. We still don't have the first vehicles ordered half a decade ago being delivered. It is fair to assume it will take longer than 12 months...

It sounds like Rivian is using Samsung and LG batteries. LG batteries have been the root cause for Chevrolet recalling every single vehicle made, along with Hyundai having to recall the Kona. Has Rivian disclosed how their battery design with LG is different? Have they talked about how they...

this is a good point to think about. There is nothing unique about Rivian in this respect. They could release the R1 models....and find a battery fire risk. countless models have had electrical fire issues. At best, we can hope Rivian learns from the mistakes of others. But there are still new...

I am in your camp as well. To properly set expectations for myself; I don’t think R1S deliveries start until Q3 2024, with my vehicle R1S not being delivered until 2025. Rivian may exceed these expectations. Or not. But they are realistic To hold me over, I plan on either getting a Q4...
