Thanks, this is very helpful. I find it surprising that Rivian would allow their flagship model to be out in the public (as one of the very first ones) without having the trim installed properly!

thank you Gonzo. That is helpful information. Did he happen to say when / where he picked up the vehicle? I'm wondering if it's newly built and they've started production... or if it's from past June when they built initial cars for debut.

How are you getting all photos? Did you talk to the driver and get any info on timing of availability?

Good point on the wheels. Maybe these are all season and the staggered Michelin wheels are summer tires? No idea. To be honest, I think it would be awesome with AT tires.

What city was this taken and what type of facility? Did it seem like they were testing things or just doing errands?

That's a great observation!! In fact, those are not the special Michelin tires they've been promoting either! Hmmm. Definitely looks like a quad with the turquoise touches but wonder what they are doing here. I'm surprised Rivian doesn't open up configurations early so they at least know...

As posted on Reddit (photos below), a purple gen2 quad was spotted with manufacturer plates. Any thoughts? Seems like the quad is coming soon. Hopefully... as they unveiled it awhile ago but haven't really shared much info on range, availability, options, etc. Another...

The Tesla has a unique feature called biodefense mode, that pushes all air thru a HEPA filter. It's particularly useful when air quality (AQI) is low and especially useful for situations such as the fires in the greater LA area (the entire area has dangerous AQI levels right now). Does anyone...

Thanks for sharing. Can you add any more details? for example did he say they are starting deliveries next month or starting to take configurations for production next month and deliveries another month later? Most of the Rivian sales guys haven’t seemed to know anything, so did you feel he...

This is not accurate. Motor Trend has had reviews of this vehicle since back in September. You seem to be guessing a lot. Can you tell us where your pricing info is coming from? The main question of this post is "when" do we expect the Quad. Anyone with helpful info on this point would be...

Thanks -- can you elaborate on where your info comes from? I've heard it's about $5k-10k more than the Tri which does not align with your comment. I've also heard around 350 for the EPA range. But again, this is from Rivian Spaces, not from any official announcement.

Now that it’s 2025, any predictions on when the new Quad is actually coming? Rivian hasn’t said a word, surprisingly. Seems like it would be beneficial to the company and consumers to give everyone a better estimate. Also strange that Rivian let Motortrend review the truck (and apparently...

Did you see any blue brake calipers? :) Any word on how close the quad is to being manufactured??

These are all great points, thanks all. I can't wait to get rid of my Tesla and get the Rivian (waiting for Quad details to come out) and was thinking it would make using my old Tesla mobile charger easier as well as Tesla superchargers... but to your points, I'd still need an adapter for...

Didn't Rivian say native NACS ports will be standard on Rivian's in 2025? Does that mean for all vehicles produced beginning Jan 1, 2025 or simply sometime in 2025? Does anyone have any info or heard any rumors? :)

I also like the concept of the hazard lights -- but when I tested them on a demo vehicle, they were extremely dim. How does your look? Are they bright enough to function as a safety warning? I also noticed that the normal hazard lights flash much slower in this mode, which is surprising as...

actually, Tesla does the opposite but to the extreme. They announce models that take over five years to arrive. Rivian has already announced the quad and they’ve announced some performance figures and not others. They’ve also started taking deposits. So it’s not unreasonable to want to know a...

Oddly, Kyle also posted the day the Motor Trend article came out that his Quad review would come the next day... but it never did! I feel like Rivian told him not to share it. I wonder if Motor Trend's review came out accidentally, without Rivian permission. But it's been completely silent...

That's an interesting perspective and I've been wondering about it myself. Would love to test drive it. The Tri-motor felt comfortable even under acceleration, but on the highway it's certainly not as stable as a sports car. AND I'm leaning towards all-terrain tires (which might seem silly on...

agreed -- although rumor suggest that it won't be that much more than the Tri motor (a rep at a Rivian space told me $5k - 10k more). That's not insignificant for a single additional motor, but also not terribly unreasonable either. I'm happy to wait, but to be honest, I can not wait to get...
