Their charging rates have improved. The latest software updates are showing 196kW at 48%. That's pretty decent. But I agree it will take much longer to charge because of the massive battery pack and will be a shock to new EV adopters. Especially the towing aspect which is basically useless in an...

It seems more and more likely the Santa Cruz/Monica interior is part of the problem.

I didn't cancel either. Depending on how deliveries go over the next 6 months, when my time comes up to take delivery I'm much more likely to buy it for the original price. Even if we don't keep it, my guess is the resale will be high for quite some time. I'll be interested to see how many new...

At this point Rivian's best hope is all of the new competition have similar price increases over the next 12-24 months. Cybertruck, F150 lightning, Model X, iX, etc. Even the new vehicles like the Polestar P3 could be launched at pretty high prices. In my opinion their SUV is more...

I agree not everyone needs the Quad motor, myself included. My problem with the new pricing and timing is if I change my Launch Edition to a dual motor, I won't get the vehicle until 2024. So to get back to the original price I need to wait another two years. I don't trust them enough at this...

What did you get for your E-tron if you don't mind me asking? I'm in a similar situation and will be selling ours when our GT is ready.

We reserved a Launch Edition R1S not because of the off-road performance, but because we wanted a large electric SUV that wasn't a Model X. Rivian at the time was the only other game in town except for our current Audi E-tron. The Audi is smaller and doesn't offer the range of the Rivian...

@Charley Rivian just announced price increases across the board. This impacts current reservation holders. So our R1S originally was $81k is now $98k. Looks like we will be cancelling our Rivian order. What a bummer. https://insideevs.com/news/570503/rivian-dual-motor-price-increase/

@mnewber1 Is it possible to start adding the interior color to the tracker? I know the rumor is the Santa Monica carpet for the DE's is part of the quality issue, but it seems possible that the same carpet is used in the Santa Cruz interior offer on GT's. It would be interesting to see if...

Good luck with that. Rivian already completely missed the January - February deliveries. There is no indication they are on track at the moment. Telling you that your May-June delivery is still on track, will make you happy today, and pissed off tomorrow when that changes. With the current...

This is extremely common. I'm dealing with this exact situation right now launching a new product. Supplier sends one batch of parts for the first pilot build that work great, and then another batch of parts for the next build that have problems. Depending on the manufacturing process, there are...

Yeah it's a bummer for sure. It seems like 4-6 weeks from VIN number to delivery. So I'm guessing maybe I'll get my VIN in the next 2-4 weeks and take delivery in mid to late April. At least I won't need to worry about all season tires until the fall.

It doesn't look like any of the Grey's from the first batch will be delivered in the 4 month window. I'm 18 days away from hitting 4 months. I'm not even sure I'll get mine within a 5 month window unfortunately.

You will be the one Grand Touring delivery before earnings. ;)

Grey cars will definitely miss the 4 month window. No way Neurio gets his next week, and my 4 month window ends March 15th. It's a bit disappointing. We were hoping to drive our GT from Colorado to Phoenix for spring break (end of March). This most likely won't happen.

Agreed. Lucid has received a lot of free marketing with COTY and many positive reviews. They can start paying for advertisements next fall as their deliveries start to catch up with reservations.

If you are planning to drive through Colorado let me know. I've done two 1200 mile road trips through Colorado in my Taycan. There are some amazing roads in this state and I can provide some advice on routes and where to charge.

Keep in mind an extra shift may simply be used to build subassemblies. This could help accelerate the main line during the day. Make sure the main line is completely stocked with parts. In theory it’s not that high volume to run the main line at 80-100 cars per day on a single shift. That’s one...

Exactly. They might offer a performance upgrade that has the same horsepower as the Dream Edition, but call it a Grand Touring Performancevor something. They originally talked about a tri-motor option as well, so this will probably be available at some point. They might be other limited edition...

Agreed. But Tesla looks like a better value than reality, and some of the vehicles like the Taycan look worse than reality. Not much would change with the Air because it essentially met the EPA rating. It's amazing the Lucid Grand Touring is a better deal based on this metric compared to my...
