If only there was a way Rivian could get more sales. . .

This is helpful articulation of the AA/CP idea. It does not replace or supplant Rivian's design aesthetic. However, with the VW/JV, it seems to mean that there will be AA/CP support in the code-base that those licensees will get should they choose to display. As for CP/AA forums, we are...

And Apple Watch.

So, never long term parked in airport garage? No teen drivers? Always park your truck in known trustworthy parking? Never at a trailhead wondering if you have to finish the camping trip with a walk into town?

There is only one paintshop in Normal. It currently supports the existing R1T, R1S and EDV. They need to integrate the R2 line into the paint shop at some point. Paintshop Shutdown R2 Line

Rivian on Apple! Hmmmm. Wonder if there is a reciprocal world where Apple on Riv…. Never mind. Horrible idea.

- Parts build up / inventory concerns as they won’t build inventory on a bespoke part as it is obviously the tentpole long lead item in the BOM. - A mfg won’t standardize automation unless there is sequence requirements leading to final build - it looks like some initial shot test/fit runs as...

It’s encouraging to see automation requirements for the quad motor. Supports a few things: - high enough production volumes to support automation> hand-builds - parts availability to support quad effectivity so final production is eminent (60-90 days) - unique sub component availability that...

A lot easier to take when considering any type of functioning ADAS. . .

Many have a commandment rule: Thou shall not commit minivan.

Me thinks that when they tested a fully charged 76Kwh battery pulling 14k lbs for the 39 miles it has range to do, it can't pull up any real incline. To make that happen, they needed more amperage. Thus a bigger V6 ICE motor and inverter were specified into the design to buttress enough energy...

Well, at least he’s not leaving Rivian for lacking AA/CP 😂 (For @Donald Stanfield)

Dark Coral Red from the '70s Fiat Spider palette. Otherwise, a colorless black/white monochrome where the body is off Ivory White with flat-black-out everything (wheels, trim, doors) and an obvious racing stripe off center.

Thanks @mpshizzle. Have to agree with your music choice in the pic - Kansas - Carry on thy Wayward son!

Back on topic … if using Starlink mini while moving, be aware it will cut out at speeds >70mph. We used one in our single-engine Cessna and it worked great on climb-out but once in cruise, the GPS likely decided we were going too fast and stopped working in the middle of a live-stream...

This is an interesting and most likely valid point. Existing Amazon vans are 3rd party owned as well as fueled. Rivian/Amazon vans are purchased by Amazon and charged (fueled) by Amazon based chargers. I have witnessed Amazon ICE vans choke out a gas station daily near an Amazon hub. But...

Agree that some will find diesel trucks more appealing than pure EVs. And diesels are more efficient than gas/petrol counterparts. And that there are industrial use-cases like farming, mining, minerals processing where ICE is going to rule for a while over EV or BEV solutions. As to VWG...

To make space for the release of the R1X?

Adding to "Steve A." There is still a non-left/right coast driver community seeing EREVs as a way to drive a new without charging & range anxiety. When these ICE drivers are told the EREV RAM Charger has a V6 engine, can pull like a V8-class motor and can drive up to 690 miles, they only see...

The question is who takes over Lucid and what are their business priorities going forward? Is it a tech company with the best electric motors or a product company looking to ship product at scale? They are not mutually exclusive but focusing too hard on one, leaves the other unsatisfied. As a...
