The more Rivian slow roles their information release the more deflated I get. The fact that we're just getting a look at the interior in the 3rd week of the month that deliveries were expected just frustrates the hell out of me.

I already know what the UI and interior of the F150 lightning will be, and they're still a 9-12 months out.

And the whole excuse that rivian just doesn't want to release something that isn't representative of what you'll get is just nonsense. They still have plenty of old photos on their website that we know are of an older design and not representative of our purchase.

Rant complete.

I'm okay with the possibility that things may change. What I would not be happy with is eliminating features, increasing costs, and withholding information for reasons that no one can understand.

For example if Ford changes some colors or moves around some USB ports by the time production comes around I won't care. But if they reneg on they're mileage claims, or remove the V2H feature, or say that the driving assistance platform they plan to offer will no longer be offered, then I'll be upset.

To be clear, I'm well aware of software development practices... that's my industry and I've shipped many a day zero patch in my career ?

My point is that some basic UI conventions and featureset may be in enough flux that they don't want to film the walkthrough yet until it's a little more polished or closer to production. The car UI is unlikely to be the long pole given how long they've been in the wild but I wouldn't be surprised if they're still iterating (especially things like media partnerships, games, mobile apps, etc. that we haven't seen yet.)
They can’t ship the truck or even show us the UI until all of those neat little Easter eggs are completely dialed in! ?

... are coming next week:




We're now at the "This week's info dump is that next week we'll have an info dump" stage of things, but honestly, at least we know they're alive over there.

I wonder if software is coming in a little hotter than expected? Seems like the only part that I wouldn't expect to be 100% dialed in by now.
EPA testing may be going slowly.

I understand they have this new “peashooter” UI button and they are tweaking the force of the ejection seat ballistics when pushed. Ludacris.
A hard choice for many of us to face ...

Rivian has shown plenty of shots of the UI (both live in videos and various static comps on their site), they just haven't done an end to end walkthrough.

This is more than Tesla ever showed of the S/X refresh UI before their first deliveries this week.
