  1. Study on EV battery lifespan yields 'shocking' (positive) results

    Probably will be more than the average, but that's only because the only option today is from Rivian to get a new one. Nobody replaces an ICE with a brand new one from Ford or some other OEM. They use a refurbished engine. Same thing holds true for a used vehicle needing a battery...
  2. Rivian ABRP integration working (if you're motivated 🙂)

    Thanks for doing this. I'm assuming ABRP would use your data to make better predictions even for those of us that don't do this integration?
  3. R1S Review: "The Tesla Bronco Defender" -- Throttle House

    I don't get it. We have it in the Audi and our previous BMW. Never used it, don't miss it.
  4. For those who got R1S (or R1T) at original approximately $78k would you buy one for new price of approximately $93k?

    Ignore the fact that it's electric. I have tried to configure any alternative that has all the features the Launch Edition R1S has. You can't. There are exactly 0 vehicles that match all the capabilities. The closest I've been able to get is a V8 Land Rover and even after $100k it still...
  5. For those who got R1S (or R1T) at original approximately $78k would you buy one for new price of approximately $93k?

    A KIA is not a "real alternative". Just because any electric 3 row would meet your needs, doesn't mean any 3 row SUV is in the R1S class. Similar to gas comparisons, KIA is not in the same class as a Range Rover. The R1S at the original price as you mentioned is an unreal steal.
  6. SNOW MODE & other nice upgrades coming in Rivian Software Update 2022.47 ❄️

    Tidal is a high end music service with quality music files. It would actually take advantage of the Meridian 1,400 watt sound system, so it makes sense. But yeah, pretty nich and not what the masses are clamering for.
  7. SNOW MODE & other nice upgrades coming in Rivian Software Update 2022.47 ❄️

    This feature alone almost made me pay for the Audi subscription. I missed it when it got shut off. Glad to see it coming to Rivian.
  8. SNOW MODE & other nice upgrades coming in Rivian Software Update 2022.47 ❄️

    It appears to be for on-road. For off-road snow environment, looks like you still use "off road all terrain ".
  9. First customer R1S in WA State? (Spotted at Bellevue Service Center)

    That, with new Ocean Coast interior would be ice 🧊 😎and fire 🔥 at the same time.
  10. WSJ: Rivian’s Great EV Expectations Meet the Harsh Reality of Manufacturing (pay wall)

    Article appears to be behind a paywall…is there there access to just this article somewhere?
  11. Ask us Rivian R1T owners ANYTHING [AMA]!

    I would strongly recommend against putting on any tire not specifically designed for an EV. The heavy nature of EVs (due to battery weight) puts special desing requirements on the tread, hardenes and sidewalls. Putting on non-EV tires will affect your range, durability, safety in rain/snow as...
  12. CFO Confirms 15K R1T / R1S to be Produced in 2022

    During the last investor call, they did mention sending heir own employees to their suppliers facilities to see if they can help ramp up that production. They also mentioned their capacity limit is no longer internal, it's based on parts supply and that they could produce more if they got...
  13. Factory production floor - recent look

    I think the 2 produced was to meet their promised timeline to "start production ". According to their investors call, they were having problems building the R1S in the R1T line.
  14. Factory production floor - recent look

    Hopefully because Rivian is testing these for themselves to use as mobile service trucks.
