    Is an R1T camp kitchen "worth" it?

    Hey all, looking for reviews from folks who have purchased Gear Tunnel camp kitchens like the Thunderbolt Supply camp kitchen. It's nearly $4k which is super steep and I'm curious if people have perceived it's "worth" it. Some primer questions: Is it actually that significant of an upgrade...

    High Inverter/Outlet Battery Drain

    I’m planning a 3 week road trip through the Canadian Rockies in a month and experimented with keeping my inverter / outlets running without any load to test the battery loss. Sitting parked and locked with the outlets on, the truck lost 16% (72->56%) in 48 hours. Ouch!! Looks like I’ll be...

    R1T Weird Pricing?

    Switched my Nov '21 reservation from an S to a T, and was pretty confused by the pricing: - The Adventure package is now 70k (from 73k?) - Switching from dual to quad motor costs $1500 - Switching from dual to performance dual motor costs $2500 - Manual tonneau is $800 I think this shakes...

    R1S Customer? delivery spotted in Seattle

    You can’t even tell it’s an R1S but I was too excited and about to block bike traffic. Blue with the bright ATs - looked fantastic. Trailed by SPD, even 😉 If you’re on the forum, congrats and sorry for the harassment!

    Truck Camper Range Impact

    It may be too early, but has anyone tested out truck bed campers on the R1T or have any estimates of range impact from ICE/towing experience? Specifically something low-profile like the OVRLND pop-top camper. I've seen estimates from reddit threads etc ranging from 15-30% reduction and am...

    Rivian is very disorganized

    I was chatting with some friends skiing and mentioned Rivian, and it turns out one of them works with Rivian (being intentionally vague). He immediately said that Rivian was the most disorganized company he'd interacted with so far. Thinking about it some more, it does show up quite a bit in the...

    Where to see a Rivian in the Seattle area

    I saw a R1T for a hot second in SLU but I've never seen them up close / taken a look at the interior. Have people had success bothering the folks at the Bellevue service center to check the trucks out? I also really want to drive one as the size makes me very curious how it feels in the city...

    Are these cars just too damn big?

    I realize that I'm talking to a forum full of enthusiasts, but is anyone pretty worried about the size? Haven't had a chance to test drive the R1S yet but I harken back to a short road trip I drove in a family member's QX80 and that thing was a UNIT. Filled up the whole lane, had a lot of mass...

    R1S vs R1T Winter Camping

    Got back yesterday from car camping at Crystal Mt in my Model 3 for a pow day (see image!). The roads close/become impassable occasionally + you get to skip a 2+ hour drive so it's increasingly a nice tool in my ski life. What are people's opinions on the R1S vs R1T for car camping in the...
