  1. Rivian confirms no Meridian Sound System in my R1S. It has in-house audio system

    It seems so different than their press releases: Rivian selects Meridian Audio for Electric SUVs and Trucks. Meridian has been collaborating with Rivian for more than 12 months and has been focused on designing, engineering, and tuning high-performance audio experiences that will embody...

    Long time reader, no need to post except when company and product are going down!

    Dude, your number SEVEN in most messages posted on the whole forum, get a life, you're not in a cult! Plus you have nearly a year wait? WTF? Make the pilgrimage to Bloomington Normal and drink the kook-aid.

    And you're the majority? The software by Rivian must be written and installed to run Apple Car Play, which is a cost Rivian avoids, and every post and thread states that it's poor not to have on an $80-$100K vehicle. It does not take. all of the OEM display, just a window, go look at some cars...

  6. Rivian Elevation audio system - in house design change began February 2023?

    If you knew about audio, you don't do human head-to-head testing anymore, gone for about ten years now, a computer can measure frequencies (though they cost about $30-$40K) which high-end companies use to tune the system to the materials used in the vehicle. You're not going to remove speakers...

    B&W and Harmon Kardon are not made by Harmon Kardon (Samsung). They pulled out the mid-range speakers from the Meridian system, two fewer holes in the doors, two fewer speakers, and two fewer amplifier channels. It shows that it is not an improvement in the vehicle, just a cost-cutting method...

    They're doing what Musk stated they better do to survive and cut costs, but probably too late!

  10. Rivian Elevation audio system - in house design change began February 2023?

    B&W went out of business years ago and is owned by California private equity firm. Samsung has owned Harmon Kardon for the last six years, which has brands for mobile audio such as AKG, AMX, Arcam, Bang & Olufsen Automotive, Becker, BSS Audio, Crown, dbx, Harman Kardon, Infinity, JBL, Lexicon...

  11. Rivian Elevation audio system - in house design change began February 2023?

    Meridian is far ahead of Rivian in automobile design, agree. It's a cost savings move, as they state, many people may not notice, but it is not what they ordered. Rivian electronic motors are not Bosch; it's a cost-saving move. Will it make up a $20K difference in each unit? Never, but it...

  12. Rivian Elevation audio system - in house design change began February 2023?

    There is a big difference between luxury audio manufacturers' parts then base auto brands. They are pulling out the midrange drivers and using lighter-weight speakers like that. Will it make a big difference in range? Price yes, range, please? You may be a fanboy who likes cartoons too much...

    So you assume the in-house system is better?

  14. Damage results from 7K lbs R1T vs Civic in collision

    It may be cheaper to fix the Honda, though. Your Rivian, if repairable (many companies will total an EV than try to repair them). If totaled, it costs you 20% more and years wait; if not total, you just lost about 20% of its value by having an accident on the carfax. Sad to hear; what a pain in...

  15. Rivian Elevation audio system - in house design change began February 2023?

    I ordered the fantastic Meridian audio system; now I am getting Rivian Elevated System with fewer speakers (cheap China drivers and amp that get renamed). You don't cut out speaker weight (magnet weight) and mid-range drivers and obtain a better sounding system. Meridian has a very high...

  16. How low can RIVN stock go?

    It's about as low as it can go; the valuation is based on precisely the cash they have on hand, that is it, as they burn through it each quarter, not making a profit or getting more investors (which would still lower the stock) it's probably going down. They're doing everything they, not using...

  17. Anyone know where to buy brush guard designed for Rivian (or Bull Bar)

    In rural Colorado, Brush Guards and Bull Bars are necessary for deer, mountain goats, and the occasional moose. I had them and Warn winches on every truck and SUV since the 90s, and they saved a lot of damage and maybe a life. Also, mount off-road driving lights for rural; backroads at night to...

  18. 📊 2022 Q4 and Full-Year Earnings Results & Shareholder Letter: 50K production goal for 2023, ~400 Mile Range for Max Pack

    You are right, but I worry about viability over five years, with one on order coming in about 12-16 weeks and an R1S (three-year wait). Ford and Amazon still have some stake, but they will run out of cash at the current burn rate in about six quarters. If somebody invests, the share price goes...
