RJ needs a tailor.

Does this fix it for you, or should I put the actual S on his chest?

He looks like such a proud dad. As he should be, this has been years in the making and all signs are pointing to it being fantastic.

NOW SHOW ME A FOREST GREEN ONE WITH THE ALL TERRAIN TIRES.

I was talking of his rolled up pant legs, but yes, this is better.

Sometimes you accidentally buy pants with longer legs than you thought. I've been there before.

At 6’5”, I have literally NEVER been there, and I doubt RJ has either.. it’s a fashion trend, one that needs to move on.. ;-)

I think these are being stockpiled for June since it's so little production. No reason to deliver ten vehicles. Build up a small stockpile and start moving them out with a June configurator launch.

Still exciting. June is looking more real!

These will all go to employees. The first 1,600 or so will all go to internal people. Yes, these are customer cars since they are not pilot production units. external customer cars wont be produced till May.

If you bought 36 length pants, you would. Some jeans are meant to be cuffed, ie high-quality Selvedge denim.

R2: Start of Production

Derp.

"Once production reaches a higher run rate in 2027, the R2 will cost Rivian less than half as much to build as the R1, McDonough said.
Those savings hinge on an aggressive consolidation ‌and elimination ⁠of parts, Rivian told Reuters. Die castings cut costs by 32%, a new drive unit delivered a 25% reduction and a simplified suspension slashed spending by 72%."

Now that is impressive!!

What it also implies is that the R2 should be wayyyy less expensive to repair once out of warranty.

Gemini saw to fixing his pants with a snazzy pair of Superman boots, and the S is now present as well

For whatever reason, it also added the S logo onto the speedbump

Yes, but you don’t then wear those pants to a major event that gets published.
