@mike_poret @WassymBensaid @Rivian To be fair r1 turn signal sound is perfection

[Etienne @e_guepe]

@LivingInKaos @Rivian R1 ownership is just part of the equation.
Frankly I think it’s primarily location and configuration for now

[Etienne @e_guepe]

@itskyleconner There will be a device to send power to charge another vehicle at some point that’s for sure

[Etienne @e_guepe]

@AlejandroEV66 @DCFCTracker Ahhh makes more sense

[Etienne @e_guepe]

@SNRetired @itskyleconner It’s a new OS for r2…

[Etienne @e_guepe]

@Hilbe Torque vectoring though gives incredible feeling in curves

[Etienne @e_guepe]

@brandenflasch It needs more cooling plates (instead of a single side being cool on r1). And that costs….

[Etienne @e_guepe]

@RivianTrackr I got mine done already - my understanding is I don’t need it to be redone right?

[Etienne @e_guepe]

@teslavangelist Buy the quad ! Then it’s better than even a diff locker.

[Etienne @e_guepe]

@Hilbe You need all suppliers chain aligned on the same speed. And if you produce more with some major fault you have more to fix (or trash!).
Ramps are tradeoff and faster ramp also cost more cash. It’s carefully planned.

@wasimcard @RivianTrackr That’s also my personal experience. Minor issues - the biggest was a ac compressor blown and a co worker with a bmw i3 had the exact same issue…

@amandamccant951 I thought this is not at all « rich Newport people » because I though Newport RI 😂

[Etienne @e_guepe]

@AaronAmarok Plenty of those available already. Ev6, ioniq, the latest generation of Mercedes and bmw, polestar, …

[Etienne @e_guepe]

@LangReynolds It’s fantastic for people who can’t charge at home.
Weekly trip to Walmart and get out full.

@HiConsumption Interestingly they don’t disclose power train at all although hummer presently is a pure ev brand.

[Etienne @e_guepe]

@ktran55 The hardest is the first !

[Etienne @e_guepe]

@j3r3myfong @SnazzyLabs Efficiency of a Rivian r1 is abysmal compared to a model 3(about 1.5x less efficient).
And it rounds down - he is probably right at 1.5m/hr

[Etienne @e_guepe]

@Hilbe Wow huge value imho.
