    RJ Scaringe: "Big efficiency updates to our plant are officially underway!"

    Please help me understand how the rework (and efficiency updates) during shutdown will change revenue, parts and labor such that the R1 contribution margin will change from negative to positive.

    It's April 2nd and I'm still waiting for my NACS adapter email!!!

    Exactly. By what logic should thousands of R1T owners get their free adapters before the very first R1S customers (not counting RJ and Claire) get any? If the difference is just a few days (receiving the free adapter), it's not worth quibbling about.

    Just got the Opt-In email for the free adapter.

    I plan to wait until August 1st to opt-in. Turnabout is fair play. It's my turn to make Rivian wait.

    Tri-Motor and Premium Trim added to R1 VIN database

    MY2024 started about 3 days after they built my MY2023 :CWL: ... right after Thanksgiving.

    Tri-Motor and Premium Trim added to R1 VIN database

    I find it odd that the list of revisions listed on page 2 of the letter to NHTSA omits: * removal of "Launch Edition" trim (letter L in position 8) * addition of "Entry" trim (letter E in position 8) Here's the Rev. 1.0 2025 VIN decoder submitted to NHTSA in a letter dated Feb. 9, 2024.

    MidnightRivian's R1S Tesla Charger test session hitting speeds @ 217 kW using A2Z adapter / plug and charge feature

    Yes, of course. By the time my A2Z arrives (1 month?) early adopters (with early adapters) will have posted their experiences on the internet. Any negative experience will likely go viral. I'll assess the risks after my A2Z arrives. Meanwhile, no harm no fire. I was one of the first 6000 to...

    How to Improve a Rivian R1T's Meridian Sound System w/ Simple EQ Changes (Equipment Measured Tests & Results) + Comparison to Elevation System

    If this were the case, could I improve my R1S Elevation by simply swapping to Meridian speakers purchased from a salvage yard? Disclaimer: I have a 60 db hearing loss above 2k (not atypical for farmers my age or older). Hence, I'm the last person you should trust for a critique of audio...

    Motortrend Interview w/ RJ: What We Absolutely Needed to Get Right on the 2026 R2 Electric SUV

    "... so large castings are used throughout the structure," said Scaringe. This is very encouraging. Look at how Tesla is using large castings to simplify the Model Y. It's not just Tesla ... the C8 Corvette is another example. When I toured the Normal plant in December, I was really struck...

    Chicago Rivian Enthusiasts

    Welcome! Rivian over-delivered on 3/7, but spare yourself the heartache of expecting Rivian to beat their target dates. I undoubtedly sound like Debbie Downer, buy I waited 57 months from reservation to delivery of my R1S. And I live just an hour's drive from the factory. Rivian missed every...

    Priority R2 delivery for R1 owners announced!

    "Rivian will offer you priority access to configure a Rivian R2 vehicle and to delivery appointments for your R2 purchase or lease. The timing of such priority access will be determined by Rivian at its sole discretion once R2 vehicles are generally made available to the public for purchase in...

    Priority R2 delivery for R1 owners announced!

    I was among the first 6000 to reserve an R1. For years, I believed that I had a good place in line. But I missed the 4-day window to configure a Launch Edition R1 (which Rivian said included "Priority Delivery"). Eventually, my non-priority delivery happened 1756 days after I reserved...

    This will have a HUGE impact on our ability to take road trips in IL, IN, and WI. I love it!

    Rivian allowing R2 holders to experience what R1 holders went through - Rivian s00n (thread includes updated renderings)

    Will the 2 year wait be followed by another lottery? With R2 reservations opening in just a few days, now's a great time to look back at how reservation date correlated to delivery date for the R1S. To amuse myself after waiting only 51 months, I created this scatter plot last May from data...

    New Illinois Tax Credit July 1

    Details of the Governor Pritzker's proposed FY2025 budget are here. Maybe I missed it, but I don't see any (proposed) funding to continue the Illinois EV rebate program. Is it dead less than 2 years after it started?

    Poll - Do you plan to place R2 Reservation for $100?

    I love my R1S, and I'm anxious to learn about the R2. I might someday buy an R2 from available inventory. But ... the 57-month wait for my R1S cured me from ever again reserving a Rivian product.

    R1S Shop access live with lots of inventory!

    Whoa! $3950 for A-T Upgrade on a LE preorder (and obviously pre March '22 price increases). Why would anyone with a LE preorder check that box when the same combination separately was $0 for 20" A-T wheels, $2000 for underbody shield, and $450 for compact spare? What am I missing? Today, the...

    🙋🏻‍♂️ Delivered R1S Owners List and Stats [Enter Yours]!

    Shake. My. Head. ... when I compare your experience to mine. Four years after I reserved, I simply asked for access to the R1 Shop ... and was told no, you don't qualify. It's all behind me now. I'm moving on. Delivery happened 4 years, 9 months, and 20ish days after I reserved. And...

    Is the R1S shop now empty for you?

    I'll echo Midnight's comments. We've seen this before. If inventory suddenly dropped, you likely temporarily lost access to inventory at the factory. Except during end-of-quarter pushes, your R1 Shop inventory will include inventory at your nearest SC (or SCs?) PLUS inventory at the factory...

    Tons of Amazon vans at factory. Drone view

    The OP's video is consistent with what I saw on 12/6/23 when I took delivery of my R1S. That day, the factory was building white "Delivery 500" vans which the tour guide said were destined to be Rivian mobile service vans. Tour guide said that he, personally, was very optimistic about...
