    Got to love it!

    ICE vehicles have tow consumption numbers published for City and Highway. The range published for EVs is for mixed driving so the range loss in highway speed seems more drastic but if you compare it to the ICE highway numbers, it is not that different. For true comparison between the two I...

    [Update: Official look at new OC interior w/ dark-stained ash wood] Ocean Coast with BM wood trim are shipping soon according to service center guide

    It looks like the middle of the steering wheel still may be white which does not look right to me. But it does not matter. I may be out of the game. When a rental car company screw you over with telling you we gave away the car you booked, they give you an upgrade. Rivian email told me tough...

    N.J. bill would assess fee on electric cars by the mile ......

    Best tax incentive is not taking it. It sounds like Feds give the tax incentives to the manufacturers and states will take it from owners. I am thinking walk and bike more before they find a way to tax that too. The day of $0.002 cents per step tax is coming. Piggy back rides may be the new...

    Official email from Rivian offering Binding Purchase Agreement

    I just ordered a Lightening. Not excited about it but it is the only electric truck I can order now. They say during the process the price hike does not apply to me but the total they showed when I placed the order included the price hike. They say, dealer will take it off. For some reason...

    Official email from Rivian offering Binding Purchase Agreement

    I heard guys who passed on first invite don’t get the price bump or get a discount. If that is not the case, I will likely pass on the second one too

    Official email from Rivian offering Binding Purchase Agreement

    Frankly, I was thinking I had to be mighty desperate to consider F150 but they are getting ready to send another invite to me and and I am considering it, since it is the only reservation I have with any kind of movement. So I may end up being one of those Rivian may want to get rid of...

    Official email from Rivian offering Binding Purchase Agreement

    Wouldn’t investors be more upset by selling vehicles at half the cost in 24? or is it, am I going to risk losing $75,000 to save $7,500? I know Rivian likely wouldn’t hold us to it but they can.

    Official email from Rivian offering Binding Purchase Agreement

    Thanks for clarification. Some folks on the thread are under the impression that this binding cagreement does not help 24 deliveries. Do you think people like me (Explore R1S) that may not have a delivery until 24 are obligating themselves to a purchase with no tax incentive?

    Signing this sounds like signing a Blank check hoping Rivian put a number on it you will be OK with.

    Official email from Rivian offering Binding Purchase Agreement

    Does this mean that if you sign, you are locked into the old tax incentive, or you have the option of using the new rules in 23 with at the point of sale reduction? I meet the income and price limit and mineral issue is potentially the main difference. p.s. I have not received the email so it...

    Colorado Drive with 11 R1Ts

    Can any of you who know about this stuff tell me what kinda air pressure can reduce the chance of this type of flat on this type of road if traction was not a concern?

    Rivian to offer Binding Purchase Agreements (to help obtain EV tax credit)

    I have not looked into the entire thread and Lightning components source and have no clue what the incentives will be in 23 for Ford. In other words not sure how a fall order (22 or 23 delivery?) will impact the amount of incentive. From your post, I get the feeling, if it passes, I could get...

    Rivian to offer Binding Purchase Agreements (to help obtain EV tax credit)

    Just got an email from Ford to get ready for the second round of Lightning orders. With no updated estimate from Rivian, it is safe to assume there is no chance of R1 delivery for me in 2022. And Ford is getting closer to their 200,000 if they have not hit it already. This illusive tax carrot...

    Any tests done on Vampire battery drain?

    I don’t have a garage. I am curious what folks see in terms of the loss parking in their driveway in 90-100 degree sunny days? Does R1T try to keep the battery cool? If it does not, do you know if those temps shorten battery life?

    Lucid slashes production forecast for 2022

    True. On the upside Rivian still has a Ton of orders at pre price-gate pricing they have to fulfill and many of them meet the cap. By the time they are done with that, dual motor and small battery packs should be ready. By the time they are done with that, R2 will be ready. They will always...
