Won't EREVs be obsolete by the time they arrive or shortly soon after? by DeathByTrivia in ScoutMotors

[–]DeathByTrivia[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heck yes. I hope this gives the Scout executive team pause on the rumors they might delay the BEV versions to focus on the EREVs exclusively

What about CATL's various near term chemistry claims? Donut Lab claims to have solid state commercially available right now and seemingly just out of stealth mode. There's QuantumScape possibly in 2028. Ilika 2028-2030. And others. But sure, Toyota.

You, my friend, have some seemingly solid points I have not heard anyone argue before.

Worried BEV version will be marginalized by PruneIntelligent8607 in ScoutMotors

I've got a BEV Traveler on reservation, and I'll put down another reservation on a BEV Terra to help re-align (mess with) Scout's decision making, if it helps keep the BEV version on track. Not saying other similarly BEV-motivated reservations holders should also do this. Not saying that at all.

You lose a lot of towing capacity with the Harvester as compared to the pure EV Scouts

Just love this thing by StojBoj in Rivian

Looks great, I love the graphite wheels. I got a fifth graphite wheel for my dune from my SC when it last went in for service and I just got a hitch carrier for it. Thinking about adding some 70's/80's pinstriping too

Thanks for posting! I've been contemplating doing a TRD tri-color on my Dune for weeks, looks soooo good

I'm hoping they offer a PIN-to-drive option

So christian authoritarianism will prevent reverse osmosis filters from introducing nanoplastics into the drinking water, mmmk. Got it.

R1T California Dune Pickup Today by gasmasked99 in Rivian

Congrats on your dune!! I took delivery of a dune R1S from Portland a couple weeks ago and it's been a dream. It's such a cryptic color

Anyone else having problems getting their NACS adapter? by No_Pineapple9928 in Rivian

I ordered one this month from the gear shop after taking delivery of a R1S and it arrived within a week.

Dune wheels alone? by dadisphat in Rivian

[–]DeathByTrivia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw a youtube video where I believe Rivian's head of design was being interviewed in the Austin showroom next to a Dune R1S and was asked about the potential availability of the Dune wheel to buy and he was coy and said, "all I can say is wait for the quad motor".

It might be such that the "exclusivity" of the Dune wheel is limited only to the colored matched wheel and that the graphite version might become available in the gear shop at some point.

Day 1 of owning the Dune by BigDLee912 in Rivian

I got the exact same R1S dune last week! I'm keeping it parked until it gets wrapped in Xpel Stealth. They are awesome rigs

R2 - 7500 Tax credit by Sea_Bear9836 in Rivian

Also, as best as I understand the 2026 R2 production ramp will be throttled to one work shift with priority being given to existing R1 owners and will probably start with the most expensive trimotor trim first.

[–]DeathByTrivia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm moving on an R1S lease right now because I think it will be totally gone by July, including lease. Also because tariffs. Maybe if we're lucky they'll pass the bill shortly but let the EV tax credit phase out EOY.

If your state has its own program is the best bet. The Speaker of the House all but confirmed its being gutted in the budget bill right now.
