First day reservation and I didn't even get the promo emails...but I might have unsubscribed.

Best adaptive would be being able to aim lower when towing. Always get flashed towing as people think you have high beams on and that means it is in their eyes and limiting their vision, not safe.

"based on the average U.S. grid" All utilities offer sustainable zero emissions energy which then shows the EV's reduce emissions 90% vs. similar ICE vehicles. Also, all the new battery plants and EV mfg plants going in are zero net emissions which pushes the EV's reduction into the 100%...

It turns out there was no reservation system. It all turned on what dealer you selected, what their allocation was and how they assigned the orders. Also a Day One reservation but I'm 35/25 so likely '24 some time which is about when I'd expect my Rivian reservation (actual in line...

Only thing Ford did wrong was not honoring the reservations.

Mines from the 19th and I'm around 20,000. With Ford only shipping 15,000 in 2022, most with reservations are '23 and '24.

And mine was Feb 12, 2022. I'm asking Rivian if it is in their interest to swap the four motor drive/300 mile Explore for $67k to a two motor AWD/400 mile Explore. Hope they do that as the range is more important to me than the mountain goat four motors. Their answer will give an indication...

Not upscale in the luxury sense, upscale in the offroad sense. The four motor drives, the high ground clearance, the 400 mile range, the camping tools. I know a lot of mountain cyclers that drive Tacomas rigged like that. "The Tacoma is not only a stalwart of the midsize truck segment but...

But many are so and it is the same net effect as Rivian's price increase. Demand for EV vehicles is high.

If it makes Ford more profitable, markets usually reward profitability. Workers pay will increase also as it should if the products they build create more profits. Dealerships make about 8% on MSRP so increase in price increases dealerships gross profits also.

Uh...no since dealers are doing exactly that, raising prices $10k.

Bigger company with more control on suppliers most likely. Rivian is such low volume that it has less control on vendors plus smaller quantity orders. I got my Adventure price back to original going dual motor and 260 mile range. I'm still a looking at '24 (even though first day depositor for...

Somewhat same boat but just made Rivian reservation a month ago. Basic Explore model no options was $67k and went to $82k with std features now options. Or more correctly the base Model Explore was derated to dual motor, 275 mile range with just Silver as no cost option and switch to black...

For those with range anxiety with load, the F150's work range will probably match the Rivian's. "Rivian R1T Towing Test: 9,000 pounds on the hitch for over 150 miles" Saw a red F150 EV at the car show today. Gorgeous. They had identical F150 Hybrid parked next to it. $79k which is likley...

Silverado is at Tonkin and F150 is a Damerow. I got an intro email from Tonkin. I'll ask where I am on the list. I made it just a few weeks ago so no great expectations. Damerow has me 35/25 so I'd expect I'll be 15/15 + their '23 allocation, late '23 early '24. Rivian, no idea but...

Rivian I ordered after Ford kicked my 1st day "reservation" to infinity and beyond will be $70k. Expect both in '24 so Rivian will have the $10k discount vs. Fords $2,500.

If your Rivian delivery date is the revised date they sent out then that is likely correct. If you ordered the F150 and Ford gave you the date then the 8/22 date is also likely correct. I'd "order" the F150. Even though this is technically "non-refundable", demand is such that if you want...

I live in a CARB state (aka ZEV). 1st day reservation. Dealer I chose says maybe 2024. I'm 35/25. Dealers determine the delivery, not much relationship to the non-reservation "reservation". Assuming they get 25, my position in '23 would be 15/25 but then dealer will bump that up to 35/25...

$500M of Tesla profits are due to ZEV credits. It's a LOT of money.

Parking spot in front or behind. RV's typically overnight at Walmarts so it's a common thing. For next 10(?) years, it's going to be a small proportion of EV users, about 2.7 million have "travel trailers", that it will be hard for the charging companies to cater to them. The larger boat...
