One of the videos from this event seemed to reflect a 0-60 of a little over 5 seconds which would align well with your feedback.

To be fair, the 0-60 part of the course was going uphill.

Already established. I only pointed out the video to corroborate AxelR's seat-of-the-pants feeling. Doesn't mean the truck isn't capable of 0-60 in 3 sec, just that it wasn't happening for that truck config under those driver and environmental conditions.

Anyone bring a tape measure and able to get dimensions of the lower part of the frunk, below the removable floor?

Nope but I grabbed one of these Yeti Loadout buckets and took a photo for you.

These things have the following dimensions:

I was there yesterday... yes, they both were Ocean Coast, but it actually looks gray in person.

I heard people say green (forest edge) looks more gray in person as well. I know things are subjective but if you saw both, how do they compare in your opinion?

Sorry that I didn't look for the forest edge.

Forest Edge does look green in person. There is no mistaking it for gray. I would not consider Forest Edge unless you’re going with Launch Green or Forest Green.

The funnest part for me was going down this hill (wasn't me in the video and I went down much quicker). The 0-60 part didn't do much for me since I have a pretty fast IC car. I'm happy that I bought my Rivian cap and sweat. ?

works fine with any of the silver/gray paints. and black. of course, all a matter of one's opinion ?

I do wish Rivian had done a 4th interior in a sand/saddle shade of tan-brown. that would go with just about EVERY paint color.

Thank you! I appreciate your help.

It looks to me like you could fit about 4 of these in there, which gives us a good idea of the volume.

Yes on merch... got my Rivian cap and sweat... and free pins (maybe with purchases); but not too many choices. They had drinks, snacks and fruits; nothing like a main meal. Didn't see anything dog friendly and not sure if you can test drive with a dog. However, they had the nicest portable restrooms I have seen.

There were lots of dogs there. Don’t know if they are allowed on test drives. There was a food truck, but I didn’t try their food.

Forest green looks green. Like a “light” military flat green.
Ocean looks like a very light shade of gray. It isn’t white like Tesla white. It looks like you would need to make an effort to make it look dirty which is a relief with a 3yo.

Yeah. Three easily. It’s kind of a funky space because it does narrow a bit at the bottom. Can’t help but think a custom cooler/fridge might be coming in the future.

Agreed! Other than a very small one, none of the off-the-shelf coolers/fridges would fit very well.
