First Dual Motor R1T appears in R1 Shop!

[BrentInCO]

I’ve been monitoring the Shop every day for dual motors … first time seeing a dual motor available. I’m holding out for my max pack.

Did you take it? Really interesting that it's $70k. Must mean they are still giving price protected people a discount in the shop since you can't change to this configuration yet.

$70k looks like a pretty incredible deal.

 

[Sgt Beavis]

It shows as $80K for me. I’m guessing you have a pre price hike reservation, right?

It does look like a great deal. But considering what Ford did recently, it would really be nice to see if they could get a configuration to around $65k. I think they would move a lot more trucks at that price. Eliminate the AC inverter and inflator, camp speaker, reduce the number of speakers, less expensive wheels, etc.

Yes

I'm guessing they won't end up decontenting the R1 like that because they want some pricing space between the highest end R2 and the lowest end R1.

Well, now that Rivian seems to have R1T production dialed in, maybe they can re-introduce an entry-level Explore trim again one day.

Show me a dual-motor R1S for under $80k and maybe I won't wait for my vinyl dash after all.

I thought there was no price protection on Dual Motors for Pre price hike reservation holders?

$1750 for WHITE?! Get out.

There is for R1T, not R1S... Yet.

So essentially 10k less for the dual motor?

Rivian should have poured billions into battery supply contracts with sharing of capital costs right after the IPO. I don’t think they did that, so batteries will be still be hugely expensive and scarce because competition is fierce. Everybody is moving into EVs and needs batteries.

I think the best they can do will be a LFP battery plus a muted interior.

Is that really a good deal? for $1500 more, you can get the quad...I think that's a better deal than to save 1500 for the dual?

Tough sell. $80K for the dual is kinda comparable to the Ford Lightning Lariat at best. That prices out online at $77,590 and includes destination charges... and a current $1750 incentive from Ford.

Tough as the F150 is larger, has a lot of functionality, and simple stuff like sliding power windows, powered tailgate, panoramic moonroof that opens and has a powered shade, etc. I'd have to go with the Ford now in some ways. And the PAAK probably works ;-)
