At present prices of about $150/kwh the difference between 135&180KW is about $6750. But, the 180 variant has some batteries under the rear seat I believe so that may increase the cost some for the engineering difference.I hope the online configurator can price it for us with the 180kwh battery pack? In which case we will know on Monday
Right, I am aware of their double stacked 800 volt Ultium battery system. My point is they do not have a working Hummer with this battery pack configuration fully functional and able to back up the charging statement. Additionally, the 100 mile in 10 minutes will be from a very low SOC, similar to how Tesla's BMS works. From my personal experience on road trips, I spend's about 15 min at a charging station to get enough range to move on to my next destination before charging again. So to that end, the difference in 100 miles in 10 min or 140 in 20 min really isn't a big deal, it will really be based on your current SOC when you go to charge.GM already has prototype Ultium batteries being tested with packs ranging from 50KWH to 200KWH. Their new factory is under construction in Lordstown, this is not vaperware. Some of these batteries have been installed and tested in retrofitted Bolts.
This seems to be the impression they are leaving. Launch Green/Adventure Package - June 2021. other colors Adventure or Explorer Package - Jan. 2022I am still unclear...If you don't get the Launch Edition, do you have to wait until 2022. If you do get the Launch Edition, does it have to be Launch Green?
They also state:So the starting price for 135kWh version of the R1T/R1S is $67500/$70000 respectively. 180kWh versions for R1T/R1S are Jan2022 and TBD. However, it looks like they will have a 7 seat version of the 180kWh SUV.
" After launch, we’ll announce the timing of our 250+ mile and longer range R1S, also with seven seats.³ "
Exciting, but frankly, I am seriously underwhelmed.Very exciting that the new site has been launched and we have a configurator date ...
What gives you the impression there will be any sort of shade? Or is that just wishful thinking?I also would prefer a solid roof and all season tires on the 20" wheels - but as long as there is a shade for the roof I can live with that.
100% agree on this one. Tesla feels like a ripoff on that.Very happy there is no upcharge for driving tech - Tesla believe it is ok to charge for enabling the software/hardware that is already in the vehicle - glad to see Rivian do not.
No... they are giving the impression that the color is only available on launch editions, not that launch editions must be that color. See "Special Launch Green paint color option" in the Equipment Packages table.This seems to be the impression they are leaving. Launch Green/Adventure Package - June 2021. other colors Adventure or Explorer Package - Jan. 2022
From my extremely limited, and possibly incorrect knowledge of the RADAR vs. LIDAR topic, LIDAR is much more expensive to implement and has limitations at night and during inclement weather. Possibly a reason for going the RADAR route? Toss up guess!Interesting. They are going the same route as Tesla with the neural network and AI learning?
I think the range is mostly dictated by your right footLol I missed that too. Can I trade hp for more range
There will need to be a new category for range - how many revolutions during a tank turn...I think the range is mostly dictated by your right foot
Hoping I can get 100miles...
