date on the review is Oct. 2020 - it’s a great review - but some of the information in it is now dated - I thought I had read all this before and now that I see the date - yeah - I do not believe Rivian has shipped anything yet and continues to miss self identified dates - great promise - so far less than stellar execution.Are there any Taycan owners considering a Rivian?
My daily commute is a mix of 100+ highway miles with several hours off-road as part of major infrastructure projects. Right now its handled with my 4WD Jeep Grand Cherokee Trailhawk.
Looking to replace the Jeep with Rivian.

I don't mind the delays as long as they deliver a quality product. I don't want a Beta product to be shipped as a final product just to meet an arbitrary time line. Launching a completely new vehicle from an automotive startup on time is next to impossible. Even legacy automakers and Tesla can't seem to deliver on time.date on the review is Oct. 2020 - it’s a great review - but some of the information in it is now dated - I thought I had read all this before and now that I see the date - yeah - I do not believe Rivian has shipped anything yet and continues to miss self identified dates - great promise - so far less than stellar execution.
Yes, my understanding is that they have delayed the first deliveries until September, now. I still think I would have liked the vehicle, but I would not have been happy waiting this long. By the time I'm tired of my Taycan, maybe....date on the review is Oct. 2020 - it’s a great review - but some of the information in it is now dated - I thought I had read all this before and now that I see the date - yeah - I do not believe Rivian has shipped anything yet and continues to miss self identified dates - great promise - so far less than stellar execution.
In fairness to Rivian, I've seen R1T test cars on the road here in the SF Bay Area. They're clearly getting close to production (same w/ Lucid Air, who seem to have tons of test cars on the road around here).Gosh! I'm a SO terribly surprised at this (lack of) development!

CT was based on the nonexistent 4860 battery. We wont be seeing any test mulesIn fairness to Rivian, I've seen R1T test cars on the road here in the SF Bay Area. They're clearly getting close to production (same w/ Lucid Air, who seem to have tons of test cars on the road around here).
Given that Tesla is here and I used to see M3 and other Tesla testers, and I haven't yet seen any sign of CyberTruck...
I am. Their vehicles look promising and after 11 years I wish them the best. A friend of mine left Ford in 2019 for Rivian.Rivian started production. Deliveries of the first 100 trucks happening in the next two weeks. They have still said my R1S (the SUV) should be delivered before the end of the year. Hoping to have it ready for ski season.
As soon as I take delivery I'll post a review on the forum. I figure a lot of you might be interested.
