- R1S Launch Edition
A production line that has trained staff and systems better calibrated and running way under capacity with the only major complication is parts availability. The spool up for the R1S will be much faster than ugly step sisTer imo.
Fair points - ramping up R1S production might be faster compared to what they went through with the R1T, but might end up being a non-issue if the bigger problem is still supply chain and parts availability.The production line is not scaled up in the sense that they are only running it in bursts, about 3 days per week. There will be no issues injecting the R1S into the mix. The primary issues to scale are still supply chain and Rivian's own ability to move parts withing their facilty.
I'll also be curious to see if the span of delivery windows for LE R1S's remain the same, or are compressed or expanded. Originally I think all LEs were between April and Dec (or Oct?) 2022.
