I'm super bummed my 180kWh R1T will take until 2022 to get here. But how about this plan:

Step 1) Get second reservation today
Step 2) Nov 16: Use first reservation to order LE R1T
Step 3) Order 180kWh R1T on second reservation
Step 4) June 2021: take delivery of LE R1T
Step 5) Immediately sell the first R1T for a profit. Collect tax credits for 2021
Step 6)Jan. 2022 Take delivery of 180kWh R1T. Collect tax credits for 2022
That doesn’t seem too crazy an idea ...

I just want to know one question. Will ventilated seats ever be an option for the lower trim levels. I will pay extra for that one option but the addition of 9k in price is a little steep.

Your question will be answered on Monday.

Well I am obviously comparing it to the R1S which I hope has a rear power trunk/hatch or what ever you want to call it.
Your post had low level outrage at the lack of power tailgate on the R1T, so no, I was not aware you were referencing the hatch on the R1S (which will *obviously* be powered)

  • I'm happy to wait for my 180kWh 5 seater R1S in 2020 El Cap Granite. I'm going to have to day trade pretty heavily for me to feel justified throwing down that much cash anyways ;)
Need a protégé?

I just watched the 2020 Chevy Silverado High Country with the power tailgate.

Watching it open and close with push of a button... Up and down, open and close, up and down, open and close, up and down...

Come on Rivian! R1T has power frunk but no powered tailgate, how does that make any sense?

Also wondering if the Rivian will have a HUD option for the R1T and R1S?
