Why would Rivian do this?
The only additional cost should have been the antenna and maybe an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) as the rest of the radio is just software.

The info about the weight reductions compared to the 2022 Model Y and the estimated weight for the front and rear castings seem new. I don't recall seeing them before.
Fully loaded small trucks should be compared to each other.
The 2027 Maverick Lariat fully loaded should be the comparison to:
What we know so far about what the Fathom includes along with some options available to be ordered for it. Lariat Maverick feature listed first and if the Fathom has...
Since the price difference between a $34,000 small EV truck and a mid-trim Expedition at $74,000 is around $40,000 those items are probably not included.
What I do believe is that a Ford Fathom fully loaded including AWD and the Extended Range Battery to let's say at $34,000 will blow away...
Tim: I think it was published somewhere out there 200 I think was the goal.
First that is incorrect. What was published somewhere out there was the goal of 300 miles of range.
Second he did not acknowledge that 200 range number all he stated is that is his opinion the number will probably be...
It is a plus for No CarPlay Ultra. No way in H*ll do I want Apple to have control of my vehicle.
Jim Farley states why that is a very bad idea: If Apple wants to control the vehicle that is a bridge too far

Can you post the video with Tim stating the 200 miles range for the standard battery because I don't remember him saying that.
From his Youtube video just right click on the video and select "Cut Video URL at current time" and paste the link as text. This site will then show the video queued to...
Same here. I lived through the ice storms here in Texas in 2021 and the blackouts. So I will be ordering the Fathom with the extended range battery. I like that you can and should charge to 100% power.
Video queued to discussion on LFP battery being charged to 100% daily and great for power to...
More expensive models: Please name those models
Also list your examples of what features the Fathom (fully loaded) you believe will be excluded.
It will be interesting to compare your list now to what gets announced at the reveal.
Not speculation but fact.
Tim is in the know as in he was told the actual numbers that Ford told the dealers at a dealer meeting where he and others got to see and get in the Fathom along with pricing.
He is not allowed to state those numbers by Ford so he hedges by saying statements like...
Tim: Fully loaded Fathom well below mid 30's
Fully loaded seems to imply Extended Range Battery and AWD
Video queued to start of discussion. Just press play.
I watched a few videos yesterday on the Fathom and in one of them it was absolutely stated that the initial battery both the standard and extended range will be LFP.
Alan: Battery Chemistry, LFP as our first one

OTA updates to fix any issues found after delivery. No need to go to a dealership.
Also the team working on the Fathom has about one year from now to test fix test (rinse & repeat) to flesh out issues and fix them before the first Fathom is even delivered.
4 1/2 foot Maverick bed works fine for me.
Hope the Fathom has the Midgate everyone is speculating on.
Length over 205" means it won't fit in my garage. So no to that.
It is bigger (more volume than a Maverick) Tim confirmed.
True.
At $29,945 for the Fathom including destination charge let's compare it to the 2027 Maverick (Hybrid) base (no options) prices including destination charge:
Long McArthur 2027 Maverick Build & Price
2027 Maverick XL Hybrid Base: $29,990
So the Fathom costs less than the 2027 Ford...
