Whoa! That sounds more like something I'd find on Elon's playlist. ?
That could be my trucks theme song! Take a clip for my custom backup sound. ?

Via Twitter and their Head of Communications director, TLDR they are playing it safe.

It was me. ? I tried to let her know we’re beyond ready to start getting some detailed info and start making plans to attend test drive events. I know I’m ready.

You want to explain to me how getting some basic details about a 80 K purchase that are to begin in 45 days is "adding to the hype" I call B.S. on that. They are overplaying there hand. The only saving grace for Rivian is they are the only game in town right now. I wonder if Ford ( part owner of Rivian) has put a embargo on more detailed info from Rivian until after the F 150 announcements

I prefer the Disturbed version. Sounds great played loud.
I wouldn't have pegged you for a Disturbed fan, but I love it! They will definitely be on my Meridian Elevation 360 list.

One of my favorite songs. I crank it to 11 every time I listen to it.

David Draiman is a big Tesla fan, makes me wonder if he has a Rivian pre-order.

TY sir! Pretty cool she took the time to reply albeit not much information but glad to know they know our frustration.

I'm going to go bold with my prediction for this week (or, maybe next week, or the week after ...).

I'm predicting that they are working on more than nip and tuck engineering for the existing two models. I think they are working on a surprise addition, likely using the existing platform, but re-working what goes on top.

We saw a picture of an extended cab pickup on the short (R1s) wheelbase. Maybe they've continued working on something along those lines. Or, maybe it's something else entirely different, like a van.

Whatever, I'm predicting a big splash when it comes to the reveal presentation of the R1t and the R1s. They'll also have an R2t or an R1v to announce.

And, that's why they are too busy to talk to us.

The beauty of this prediction is that somewhere along the line, I will be proven correct. And, will make a point of saying that I was correct!

I predict that Rivian will release an avalanche of information including a website revamp, publish the "Summer Tour" schedule for test drives while announcing free RAN charging for the first two years.

If they don't do all of this next week, then I'm going to whine, bitch, moan, flop around on the floor, drink earlier in the afternoon, hit the "WHAT'S NEW" button 10 times more frequently, search for Rivian news like a crack-addict, and end up right back here where I am today - wishing it was already Fall.

I'll simply "second" that basic disclosures are not "hype." That is very lame spin for, "Thank you for your deposits. Somehow, with deliveries next month, we still don't have a production version to show you, or for that matter, any other relevant status updates. But here are some nice pics of the Executive Team that brought us to this point!" Hilarious.

I saw an opportunity. Yep, she gets it. I enjoy Amy’s tweets; maybe this will help emphasize they can do more to move things along.

The context was that she was getting her hair cut and someone in the salon who didn’t know her was discussing Rivian and sharing wrong info. She chose not to speak to see how the conversation played out, Another Twitter user responded ‘How deep into the weeds did it go?’ Amy responded ‘Think forums.’ —— They are monitoring us, guys. And paying attention. ??

Wait, you’ve been talking to my wife about me, haven’t you?!
