It makes financial sense that they redesigned it to focus on fit & finish with the R1S (and "non-rivian" vehicles), but I'll always be salty that they completely abandoned the gear tunnel version.

I like it better than the piles and piles of stoves, gas canisters and drawers of junk I hate to use car camping. BUT $1400 is a lot when a dual burner induction cooktop with 1800W is ~$200.

I like the drawers and other lighting features, but too costly for what they give you.

What quality of gold is it made of for that price?

 

[HeresRonnie]

I wish Rivian released their products during better windows. Maybe this is a good product for the fall football tailgating crowd but would have been a great spring product release to use for camping. Nitpicking but cool to see them release a kitchen for purchase.

$1400 is criminal for this. Come on. It should be priced around 4-500 bucks.

 

[Noplacelikeloam]

Just wait a couple of months. Someone else will offer something similar for half that price. This is just a plastic mould that includes a stove top.

3D printer people out, there, looking at you!

You aren't keeping up, black IS the new gold!
See chrome v. blackout prices, black vs. standard wheels.
It's the color you want.... trust me.

I dig it! I hear ya on the price, but the clean design integration with the case, drawer, cutting surface and lights are worth it in my opinion. For the function-only crowd a two burner portable induction is all you need. But I suspect we all purchased these vehicles for more than function.

The vid is also on point. I am a generation older than the folks in the ad and it resonated with me. Good job Rivian!

I really enjoyed the video. The kitchen has some thoughtful touches (like the handle/towel holder) that I might steal for my own setup.

I'm not sure why everyone is so hung up about the price. If it's too high for you, maybe you're not the target market (I include myself in this). For some, design, aesthetics, cachet, etc. are worth it.

these are gonna sell like hotcakes here in boulder

Surprisingly, this looks like a very "meh" offering from Rivian. Compared to the "vaporwared" Gear Tunnel kitchen, this design is uninspiring and anemic.

If I'm ever in the market for something like this, I'll be looking at 3rd party options like: https://www.thunderboltadventuresupply.com

 

[TimJim]

I bought it for multiple reasons, not least of which is what these site sponsors do around it. Will someone make a counter-height folding table with this specific setup in mind with maybe a little extra counter space, a hole for a fold flat sink, maybe an under table shelf to hold pots and pans and a water tank for a faucet? I would very quickly be sold on that. I’ve looked at other options for a camp table to put it on, but I know the Rivian enthusiast crowd can do better.

For the record I LOVED the original camp kitchen idea for my R1T and I have been very close to getting the Thunderbolt kitchen multiple times, but this design has a silver lining that intrigues me… I can move this setup closer to my tent (with an extension cord) and can cook under a bug screened canopy if the mosquitos are out in full force (or under a canopy to protect from the rain or the sun’s heat). I can cook on my truck’s tailgate if I want, but this (or a simple induction burner setup) with an extension cord gives me flexibility.

Indeed, I expect the buzz around Rivian's new offering will simply land more sales for Thunderbolt
