  1. Rivian offering preorder price difference vouchers for remaining price protected pre-order holders

    Refreshed vehicles are supposed to be thousands cheaper to manufacture. I would think they want to sell as many of those as possible. CFO mentioned they will be positive margin by end of 2024. This makes sense that they don't want any pre price hike sales in Q4. Timing all lines up with...
  2. Rivian offering preorder price difference vouchers for remaining price protected pre-order holders

    It's great (for customers) that Rivian is letting people apply the discount across all configurations. Dual Motor, Standard + seems like a sweet spot. Nice thing about the discount %, the more you upgrade, the more you save. :idea: I wonder how many preorder people are really left and...
  3. Am I the Only One Who Thinks R3 Looks Dated Circa 1980s

    80's Honda Civic was the first thing that came to my mind.
  4. Rivian Layoff 10% Staff and Lowers Production Forecast for 2024

    Their parts suppliers were not ready in Q4 23. It take a lot of time to validate and then start producing new automotive parts. Even in the call they mentioned that there will be several thousand vehicles produced but not deliverable. They will wait for a new part to be delivered in April.
  5. Turn signals

    I think all the rear lights on the Rivian are not very good and kind of hard to distinguish, between braking and turning. I think it's the same set of thin red LEDs used for both brake and turn. I wish Rivian and all other auto manufacturers would make the rear turn signals yellow (amber)...
  6. Reinforced Underbody Shield removed from my pre order

    Annoying that they are forcing people to pay for options like underbody shield if they have no use for it. They should be giving people every opportunity to cut out unwanted costs and choose the options we truly want.
  7. Buttonwillow CA RAN station progress

    Finally! Just in time for the holidays. This location is going to get a workout in the coming weeks.
  8. 7 months later and a 50k repair bill, I have my R1T back!

    Did they have to replace the battery pack with a hit like that? Agreed. $5000 is the minimum required in CA, which won't cover anything more than some broken plastic trim pieces. Any more damage than that will easily take it over the minimum. The sad things is, the stupid people who usually...
  9. RAN Charging Costs are now live! (at certain stations)

    I think the flat 36c nationwide is Rivian's attempt to keep it simple for themselves at point in time. Even with a relatively small number of RAN, the actual electricity cost is highly variable at each location and times. I don't think they have the resources to figure it all out yet. Took...
  10. 2023 Q3 earnings (beat) results! Rivian raises production goals

    The Q2 2024 changes do sound fairly significant. In addition to the wiring and ECU updates, RJ mentioned today about structural and HVAC changes. Heat pump? Improved battery cooling? So many possibilities.
  11. Rivian Wins 2023 Rebelle Rally! - Macaruso & Anderson make historic EV win with an R1T!

    Congrats to the the team drivers and Rivian! Maybe next year Rivian will actually pony up some money and become an official sponsor.
  12. Is the windshield really as flat as I think?

    I've been seeing more and more Rivians in my area parking lots. Today as I was walking above one, I notice just how flat the windshield is. The Rivian windshield looked almost like a flat pane of glass. It seems like most all cars have varying amounts of curvature in their windshield...
  13. Hail storm destroys my Rivian R1T

    The one thing you can't blame on the hail is that terrible sounding door clunk when he closes the door. :clap:
  14. Rear ended. Warranty + repair shop nightmares

    Every time I am directly behind a Rivian, I think to myself that the brake lights are way too small and hard to see. For such a giant rear end, the brake lights are just a tiny short strip of red LEDs. Since Rivians are so tall, when you are in lowish sedan or CUV, you are staring right at...
  15. Will Dual Motor architecture solve regen limit issue

    I have seen many post about regen cutting out or severely dialed back after a shorter than expect stretch of downhill decent. Maybe I missed the post, but I'm not sure anyone every confirmed the exact reason. Was there a thermal limit being reached on some kind for a component like the...
  16. Multiple Dual Motor R1Ts available in the R1 Shop! (Delivery in 3-6 weeks)

    For pre 3/1 pricing people, I see a $70k DM R1T. Lowest price ever for a Rivian! For the R1T, the standard DM is $2500 less than the performance DM. I don't think this cost difference will be the same for R1S. The way Rivian configured the R1S, the performance DM is the base cost and quad...
  17. Munro Live with RJ on new Dual Motor

    I know one CEO that would just answer all the questions with the words "Next Level!", "Insane!", "Badass!"
  18. Warning: Do not close your frunk by hand!

    Use a label printer to print a big message that says "Use button to close frunk ⬇" and stick it above where the button is. It may not stop hand closing 100% of the time but should be good enough to remind kids, strangers, myself, and of course the SO.
  19. Amazon Rivian Van - Feedback From a Driver

    He should learn from my Fedex driver. That guy must carry around his own portable boombox. I can feel my windows shaking when he pulls up to my house with the music blasting. Saves him from needing to ring the doorbell to come sign. :CWL:
