She is correct, don’t get it
I don’t get it either.
we might need to ask Tor Eckman to decipher for us.
Like the check engine code?
That’s a stretch if that’s what you’re going for
.
For those that don't get it, let me explain. It's meant to be a bit of a tongue in cheek jab at Tesla. The Tesla Model S and X used to have a naming convention like this:

Model S P100D. Where the name meant...

  • P: Performance
  • 100: 100kwh battery
  • D: Dual Motor
So, my "performance" Rivian with a 135 kwh battery and quad motors would be...

I think I get it!! But it's sort of Tesla-ee, right?

EDIT: Yep, Tesla-ee. Your decoder came in at the same time my post did.

Even though I didn't get it I applaud your commitment to mocking Tesla:clap:

Now that Rivian actually sells a trim with performance in the name, it doesn't seem accurate to call your quad a "P" even if it performs better than the vehicle labeled performance..

Off topic, but how is it you have black letters in “RIVIAN” on back of your truck?

How about rest of emblems/lettering on it?

Kinda lame and without Tesla paving the way, Rivian wouldn’t be much.

I kinda got it. The 135 for the kWh, but I thought the the PQ was for "pretty quick". One of my favorite personalized tag of all time is: 10S NE1
