Prices could fluctuate, but assuming they don't reprice the lineup, the Performance trim will still cost $57990, but won't come with the $2500 Autonomy+ or $950 tow package included. You would also get a standard key fob (silver and yellow if it matches the R1 instead of green and yellow), and...

Based on people's invitation estimates from yesterday, the launch edition will remain available at least through the end of the year, probably into next year. At some point they will cut it off and you'll only be able to buy a "regular" Performance trim, and I doubt having a reservation will...

The Texas movement makes me hopeful that my Launch Green VIN will be assigned soon. I got the "pre-production" email on 6/27 but haven't heard anything since, so hopefully they're doing a batch of Catalina Cove and will switch to Launch Green soon :fingerscrossed:

The use of binary logic in computer systems has more to do with the electrical complexity than easing computation. We had analog circuits before we had transistors/digital logic... The argument for vision only (or any single sensor perception) systems is that sensor fusion is HARD. With...

A comment may have been removed, but this is what is currently in the reddit thread. They are correct that the AWD and tow package are now available, but that is separate from the tow hooks. The comments in this thread about this being a Premium with swapped wheels are likely correct.

The tow hitch is an available option (the tow package), but the standard does not get the front tow hooks.

You can order any time after your invite, all the way until the heat death of the universe. But configuration pricing and availability is not locked in until you place and confirm your order. The invite is literally nothing more than unlocking the "purchase" button on the configurator. Nothing...

Tesla also went vision only and continues to lead in autonomy, so while I'm sure LIDAR will help push Rivian forward, its clearly not required to match Tesla. I do wonder if part of Tesla's decision to go vision only was because they already had so much training data from their LIDAR-equipped...

The LIDAR, while it will come standard in the future, is effectively a $2500 paid upgrade compared to the LE, because of the free Autonomy+. I don't think LIDAR will benefit you without Autonomy+, so by waiting you're effectively resigning yourself to pay $2500 more for hardware that may...

Yes, Autonomy+ stays with the vehicle for the lifetime of the hardware support.

I think one of the Rivian engineers said LIDAR/RAP1 would be in the "next model year" which means 2027 debut. I agree that it is unlikely to overlap with LE, though I do wonder if we will see non-LIDAR Premium by the end of this year while the Performance is still wrapping up LE? Or maybe once...

Your place in line is purely for when you get invited to order. Once you've been invited, you can place the order whenever you want - immediately, a few days later, weeks later, whatever. But your delivery estimate is based on when you actually order, they're not holding an unordered car for...

I believe they are the same materials just in different colors. The price difference is just market segmentation, same way the paints probably aren't meaningfully different in actual cost, but they still charge $1500+ for some colors.

I also like the look of the matte PPF, but I don't know that I like it $6000 more. I'm also concerned about the fact that if anything needs replacing, I'm forced to immediately reapply PPF (or remove it all) to avoid having one glossy panel. I also saw conflicting info about whether the initial...

I'm also going with Launch Green. I initially liked Catalina Cove based on the marketing images, but seeing it in person at the Austin Space compared to the Launch Green, I didn't like how murky the Catalina Cove looked outside of direct sunlight. Personally, my favorite interior option (based...

I disagree that the statement is so black-and-white. Yes, they say it will not void the "New Vehicle Limited Warranty", but what does that warranty cover? I think there is a very real possibility they tell you to pound sand because the warranty (which is still intact) excludes damage that is not...

I think this is still going to a potential fight. I imagine any cases of this happening will come down to how much the service technician cares and whether Rivian's legal team really wants to get involved. I suspect that unless you have a history of dubious warranty claims, Rivian probably wont...

Just be careful using adapters on the pigtails as you're tricking the charger into thinking there is more current available than there is. You could easily trip a breaker or start a fire by overloading the circuit. The Rivian mobile charger (AFAIK) doesn't have a way to limit the power beyond...

That's a good point, the visible light does contribute about half of the total solar power (assuming the windshield is not filtering any of it. A quick google search suggests that 43% of the sun's energy at sea level is visible light and 52% is IR (skewed toward NIR). The glass naturally blocks...

Let's look at the replay, shall we? Bullwinkle and I were talking about the 5-15 vs 5-20 pigtail adapters and how fast they charge, when you said "they charge at the same rate in kW" and seemed to think I was quoting numbers from different vehicle models. I was, in fact, using Tesla's own...
