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

    It seems to me (with my 3% pre-order discount) that they QM vehicles have an additional $5k cost cap reduction, but the DM's do not. I base this on the displayed lease monthly price, not any direct knowledge. And, I heard someone on Reddit got $5k off their lease. It works out to show the...
  2. Rivian temporarily pausing R1 configurator due to production line shutdown

    I bet they'll do like they did with the Standard and Standard+ packs and just start putting the first ones into the R1 Shop, then later open it up for configurations. I'm also assuming they've already got a proof of concept line that's made some test vehicles already. So, I assume they should be...
  3. Any New SR or SR+ R1T or R1S Delivered

    8532 - 1792 = 6740# Looks to be about the same as the other DMs: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/r1-weight-estimate-and-more-for-quad-vs-dual-motors-from-epa-filing.17123/#post-365634 Based on the EPA data, I'd expect the R1T DM Large to be 6749#. I'm still looking for evidence...
  4. Rivian offering preorder price difference vouchers for remaining price protected pre-order holders

    The electricity and insurance are the same. It's just that it's already included in the calculation. The maintenance is different because I wouldn't expect to replace the brakes and have other costly service items during my ownership when leasing. Where as when owning something for longer, I'd...
  5. Rivian offering preorder price difference vouchers for remaining price protected pre-order holders

    Based on my calculations for the Lease pricing I'm seeing for the QM, the total loss per month of ownership is about $1200 (including taxes, fees, insurance, electricity) based on my estimated use case. In order to get the value lost per month of ownership that low for purchasing a QM, I need to...
  6. Any New SR or SR+ R1T or R1S Delivered

    That's a really good point. Certainly it seems like a lot could be learned by watching this screen on the Standard and Standard+ packs while they charge from low % to 100% indicated.
  7. Any New SR or SR+ R1T or R1S Delivered

    Can you get a picture of the stickers inside the driver door? I'm really curious about the weight by knowing the carrying capacity difference.
  8. Any New SR or SR+ R1T or R1S Delivered

    We don't know if they just cut off capacity at the top, or split it top and bottom. For example, it could have 10% buffer on top and 6% on the bottom for increased battery longevity. Although, that would mean you could get stranded on the side of the road with available charge that you can't...
  9. Rivian offering preorder price difference vouchers for remaining price protected pre-order holders

    The QM went from 90-92k on May 25th. So, if you got a QM you got a $2k discount vs current pricing.
  10. Rivian offering preorder price difference vouchers for remaining price protected pre-order holders

    I'm going to answer my own question with details from the email I got from Rivian: " Custom Configurations Until later this summer, we will not be fulfilling custom configurations while we prepare for a major retooling at our plant. During this time, we are temporarily pausing access to the...
  11. Rivian offering preorder price difference vouchers for remaining price protected pre-order holders

    Yeah. Boo! Are they going to only R1 Shop orders for everyone? Or just for the pre-order holders? I don't feel like paying extra for paint. But the silver is rarely available in the shop. So, it seems my 3% discount will cover the price of the paint or wheels.
  12. Rivian offering preorder price difference vouchers for remaining price protected pre-order holders

    This is where I fall, and they're giving me a 3% discount. That's slightly more discount ($2k) than I was getting straight up. This'll be nice if I choose to go with a DM variant. I suspect they're doing this because they're preparing to stop making the Bosch QM anymore. AND it unlocks people...
  13. Any recommendations on 22" Tire Replacement

    Hehe, whoops. I didn't know which Goodyear you were referring to, but I was referring to the Michelin M/S2. Sorry about that.
  14. Any recommendations on 22" Tire Replacement

    I think the test you're referring to was for the previous generation Goodyear. I'm sure the newer ones are better, but I haven't seen them compared to anything yet.
  15. Any New SR or SR+ R1T or R1S Delivered

    Anyone with a SR or SR+ want to take a picture of their Tire and Load Rating sticker in the driver's door frame (and report if you purchased with a spare)? I'm very curious if the weight is any different.
  16. R2 / R3 has heat pump (confirmed by RJ)

    That makes sense. Thanks for sharing. I was just kind of assuming the heat pump would just generate heat by trying to run and just run really inefficiently. But, using other sources of heat makes more sense.
  17. R2 Videos & photos from Austin public showing

    RJ has said they won't have the fancy hydraulic linked suspension of the R1 in the R2 to meet the cost target.
  18. R2 / R3 has heat pump (confirmed by RJ)

    I was going to point to this video as well. The heat pump warmed up the vehicle a lot quicker than the PTC heater (in this test). So, it would seem dependent of the design of the heat pump before one can say a heat pump won't warm things up as quickly. This result surprised them as well.
  19. R2 / R3 has heat pump (confirmed by RJ)

    This does increase the chance that the R1 refresh will also have a heat pump because they're trying to share as many components as possible.
  20. RJ interview on Munro Live: Discussing R2 / R3 Reveal

    I don't think he would have just said it. He put it in the terms that they wanted to share the same as what's going into the R1 refresh. So, presuming that the R1 will be staying with 400V, then I think you're right, it's probably 400V for both.
