Poll- What have you Reserved... Let's get a small idea of the take rates.

[speedrye]

I remember it. It’s probably floating around in the reveal post or something.

That makes me feel better, or perhaps mass delusion?

The EREV batteries are much smaller and use the cheaper LFP batteries that aren't as heat-sensitive as the NMC batteries in the BEV, but whether that's enough to offset the cost of a generator is the question. The EREV also has a lower discharge rate, so I'd assume wiring other areas can be reduced in cost possibly. The tow rating might be an issue though, and whatever is being done to increase that might eat away at the anticipated cost difference.

With the low take-rate, the federal regulation/testing costs will disproportionately affect the EVs since there will be less units sold to spread the cost out amongst.

Definitely curious how it all shakes out.

I reserved the Traveler Harvester. We just purchased our first EV, Rivian R2...Great SUV, but I just love the idea and security of extra miles, if necessary, with the onboard gas generator. The planned interior of the Scout looks more sophisticated than the Rivian. But we'll see. Overall, I've very pleased with the Rivian. I highly recommend a home wall charger for anyone thinking about purchasing an EV.

Welcome to the community! I have a question.

Can you let us know if at some point you decide to stick with an EV and change your Scout reservation to the BEV Traveler?

Thanks and welcome again!

Welcome to the community and as Rivian R1T owner welcome to the family!

Congrats on getting your R2. Is the R2 your first EV? 100% a wall charger is the way to go. I lived with a Long Range Model 3 for 3 years and just plugged into my wall outlet gaining 8 miles of charge overnight and then charging it to 100% by Monday morning I could commute daily (41 mile round trip) I could make it M-F without any additional charging.

However with my R1T getting around 1.9-2.2 of range with the same commute I absolutely NEED a wall charger lol!

If only it was that much in real life...

Are we saying that the actual, official BEV Terra reservation rate is lower?

I figured the EREV and BEV would be very similar in price; but, that is 100% guess-i-mation with the smaller battery pack, I.C.E. generator that only supplies DC power, and gas tank. I'm also taking a SWAG (Scientific Wild A$$ Guess) the EREV would have a slight higher re-sell value 3-5 years down the road because of being closer to a mild hybrid compared to a PHEV or BEV.

I don't know what difference it makes, but it's noted in some of the Scout patents that the generator produces AC, not DC.

With potentially higher maintenance & warranty costs incurred by Scout (based on running 2 subsystems with the EREV), I would guess there will be a higher cost burden associated with the Harvester from a servicing perspective. If I'm Scout, and I have a large audience of fence-sitters once production starts and orders are being finalized, my corporate goal goal might be to incentivize desired buyer-behaviors & steer those people toward the pure BEV trucks. With that in mind, and looking at the demands on the SC network and time it will take to reach gross profitability per vehicle (as one important metric for viability of the business), then running the numbers, I foresee the Pure BEV variants coming in at $2,275 less than the Harvester!

I'm expecting the BEV to be $2,275 more than the Harvester.

Ironically I’m basically thinking the exact opposite. Need to pay for R&D for the bridge technology
