New pics direct from Rivian on a Tuesday? This throws off our entire TURD and FART cadence.... oh wait.
They're right on schedule today. Maybe trying to sync with morning coffee?

Rivian has shipped at least 6 R1 vehicles to a customer. Daddy Jeff has at least 4 R1T & 2 R1S.

And I'm pretty sure I'm before him in the preorder queue. I guess it pays to be an astronaut.

The IG post had some interesting video too. Looks like @kanundrum grabbed the Twitter version.

I told you guys JB would get his by end of July. Idk what RJ is talking about, they're right on schedule with deliveries.

I guess a couple billion $$$ vs $1000 makes a difference ?

I have some bottle rockets, y'all think I can get RJ & some Rivians a few hours down the road in TX (OK, maybe 8) to launch them?

Looks like they’re sticking with the fabric ”pull loops” for access to underseat storage. Functional I suppose, but makes me question the guy who told us they were benchmarking the interior against the likes of Bentley and Lambo.
You can use benchmark a Mitsubishi Mirage against a Bentley Flying Spur. It won't do that well in the quality department, but you could still use Bentley as your benchmark.

Saying Bentley is a benchmark isn't the same thing as saying you're going to meet/exceed that mark.

Also, is Audi really a good benchmark? I sat in top-trim Q5 and Q7 over the weekend and they were underwhelming. Way more plastic and "meh" materials than I was expecting.

I'll even grill him a steak, looks like he could use it.
RJ is Vegan. I think that's a commendable choice. I have lately thought that I should switch (for ethical reasons). It's a hard thing to do, and I respect those who have successfully transitioned.

That explains why he is so skinny

I read some press this morning where Rivian that stated those vehicles are "pre-production loaners". From Rivian's perspective, probably free advertising more than extended testing.
