It's tradition: 6/28 through 7/4 new info thread

[Autolycus]

If they don’t release info this week, it likely won’t be anything significant until the week of the 12th because of the 4th.

They have a policy against releasing info on days that end in “y”.

 

[SeaGeo]

I do. I will say though if you get something this week, I'd bet you get it on Friday, and that its significant. Then they get media buy in on it, and articles run through the long weekend while people are off work and bored.

Ok, that's interesting. Aren't Fridays the "post info you want to bury" days?

Used to be before internet news was a thing. Personally I've never felt that it was all the effective. Its not so much about releasing bad news on a Friday so much as it is releasing bad along side various other boring news releases so that it gets lost in the shuffle.

The only physical paper people buy anymore (and in many cases the only physical papers printed anymore) are Sunday editions. If you want print coverage, that's what they're aiming for. I can't imagine Rivian is terribly interested in the 60+ y/o's that buy print copies though.

I think you would be surprised at how many of those 60+ year olds are holding LE reservations.

We think they should deliver the trucks based on age, oldest to youngest…

My money is on fluff piece for the holiday, cutesy camping, plugging in lights, kids with sparklers etc.

Nothing really new or interesting numbers wise

Maybe so, but that demonstrates 60 year olds’ interest in Rivian, not Rivians interest in them. .

....and 70+

No doubt! Have respect for your elders. ?

Hmmm....You make a good point here. ?

So, outside of "when will deliveries start and specifically, when will I get mine"

Big items left for me:

• EPA #'s
• UI and App functionality/walkthrough
• 400v vs 800v, specifically 200kW vs 300kW charging
• Potential V2V & V2H capabilities
• More pics of colors, interior and exterior

Curious what others might have that don't involve the elephant (production and delivery timelines)

I'm going with nothing beyond a cutesy Fourth of July themed post with no real additional information. Maybe more the week after, but it's 50/50.

So far, I've been pretty accurate.

As a 60 --year-old early iPad adopter (way back in 2010), I'm pretty sure I stopped buying printed newspapers not long after that.

What will we learn this week? I will learn more patience! ?

shop.rivian.com is a sub domain now (or could have always been) but along with the trademark for "Hello Rivian" I think gear is around the corner S00N.

The other day, I found cloud.rivian.com and was able to signin with rivian account and there was nothing. They might have just spun up the site with auth ( and SSO functionality too from rivian.com) for now. Curious to see what they have for it.

That has been around for a while along with like 20+ other sub domains.
