I'm so happy for all that have been contacted ... but, until we actually see photos of R1S sitting in the lots of the Delivery Centers, it's hard to get too excited.
Understood. I have the Cove system and it doesn't have that but warns about low batteries before chirping becomes an issue.
Cove does have a heat sensor as part of their so-called "smart" smoke detector which is both smoke and significant heat increases, so perhaps I'll give that a try...
Agreed. It will be interesting to see when that is. Clearly, the demand/supply imbalance will go away at some point. However, even if they could clear their supply/production issues immediately, pre-orders have an inherent $13,750 advantage at a minimum - unless you want silver - and that...
Cannibalization does not occur when there is a large supply/demand imbalance, not just for Rivian but the EV truck market in general. Ford stopped taking deposits on the Lightning after 200,000 deposits. My dealer expects to get 9 in 2022.
However, it's fine to dream.
A false narrative. A bad idea doesn't make your idea great. Now, instead, purchase a used true five-seater with ample luggage space and your cost of entry becomes so much lower than a new R1S. And a lot lower cost per mile from a total ownership standpoint than the Rivian. You like to...
I think these 22" Sport Dark look pretty sharp. However, I'm struggling how it makes sense to spend $3,500 more for those when I can just get the 21" wheels for no additional charge for my R1S (that won't be seeing anything tougher than snow).
Per The Wall Street Journal:
A leaked Apple Inc. document alleges that there have been preliminary talks between California-based electronic vehicle manufacturer Rivian Automotive, Inc. (RIVN) and Apple Inc (AAPL) to sell a controlling interest in the start-up to the Cupertino-based tech giant...
Thanks for that. That's an odd stain of some sort on the top of the frunk (driver's side) - when the rest looks so ship-shape. Maybe gook from the windshield just got sprayed there somehow.
And how many Service Centers does Rivian really have operating right now? Comparing Tesla to Rivian? A quantum leap in differences.
Unfortunately, state franchise laws around auto sales forces Rivian to be unconventional. So, when you're talking about the "conventional business of buying a...
