Rivian R1T deliveries are on track for September, according to a letter CEO
RJ Scaringe sent preorder holders recently.
September 2021 will be a momentous month for Rivian once R1T deliveries
begin. The Rivian CEO stated that the team in Normal continue to build more
and more vehicles every day. A recent video taken inside Rivian’s factory in
Normal showed all the employees working hard to make electric R1T pickup
trucks.
“It’s inspiring to see how the entire company is coming together for us to
start deliveries—everything from dialing in our production process to
ramping up our service network to managing our supply chain. I am happy to
report we are on track to begin deliveries in September,” wrote Scaringe in
the letter.
He provided a few other updates in his letter as well–most of which relate
to the ownership experience of an R1T pickup truck.
First, he explained that Rivian wasn’t just working on ramping production at
its Normal manufacturing plant over the past few months. The EV startup was
also working on “dialing in” its quality across five areas of the plant,
including stamping, body, paint, assembly, and propulsion or battery and
drive units. So Rivian preorder holders should expect quality R1T vehicles
during delivery.
Then Scaringe shared a bit about Rivian’s charging network. The company aims
to install more than 3,500 fast DC chargers at 600 sites in its Rivian
Adventure Network. In addition, the EV automaker also plans to install at
least 10,000 Level 2 AC chargers/connectors as part of its Rivian Waypoints
Network. Rivian hopes to ramp the buildout of its charging network by the end
of 2021.
In time for R1T deliveries, a few Rivian Service centers have started
operations in Brooklyn, NY; Bellevue, WA; Normal, IL; and San Francisco and
El Segundo, CA. Scaringe wrote that Rivian plans to open over 100 service
centers by 2023. For instance, Rivian already applied to open a 24/7 delivery
and service/repair shop in Orange County, CA.
Based on Scaringe’s letter, the company has also finalized the initial
version of the Rivian App for iOS and Android. The Rivian App will be
available for download early next month before deliveries, hinting that R1T
deliveries may start by mid-to-late September.
根据 Rivian 的 CEO 寄给预订者的信里
R1T 的交付将在九月份开始
并且说 在过去的几个月里 努力的扩大生产
但是车子的五大领域里努力提高品质
未来的车主可以放心地拿到高品质的车子
并不会因为赶工而有瑕疵
看起来是暗酸了特斯拉一把
R1T有望成为第一款四轮四电机的量产车
总共800p的动力
还好没找人家后驱车拉一把拔河 这蛮没品的
