Ha. The so called “LE” perks mean nothing to me. Don’t want “launch green” and don’t care about LE “interior badging” that means absolutely nothing. The only benefit is the wheel upgrade cost being included if you want one of those options. I’m all-in on the 5 seater and possibly max pack. I...
Ha. Pretty much said the same thing as your first paragraph in my earlier post (#28). With respect to your second paragraph, I can get behind that. It's all about "creating the allure"! However, they need to be careful to an extent. Except for the diehards, they don't want to alienate the...
I think this may be going off topic (like most threads!) ;) For those interested in updated vehicle widths with mirrors folded that were confirmed from Rivian today, please see post # 19.
I ended up asking about this.....
Response from Rivian:
"I can confirm that both vehicle widths with the wing mirrors folded in are 2076 mm (81.7 inches). I apologize for the potential confusion."
Shouldn't be a big deal for pretty much 99 percent of people, but they might want to update...
Absolutely. Totally agree. I was just venturing to guess as to why they are so "cagey" and lacking openness when so close to pushing those suckers out the door. Some of the disconcerting items might be a benefit at the end of the day, and some just might be items we'll miss or hoped they...
I can only surmise that they are literally making last minute changes to a few things, and thus don't want to truly commit to those items that are in flux. This is both simultaneously great to hear (correcting issues, dialing items in, adding features) and rather disconcerting (possibly cutting...
Found it. Looked quickly earlier and didn't see it. Don't know if you didn't remember what it was, or just wanted to make me dig for it. Ha!
On the Rivian Elevation 360° audio system for the R1S: We'll be sharing the brand closer to delivery. It's 1400 watts with 22 speakers. To compare, our...
Ha! The CS reps are just having fun at this point. I can hear practically see the special "employee" IM channel they have going when answering questions:
"Hey, I got another dude asking about the powered trunk/tailgate. What answer should I go with this time!?......Should I tell them that the...
I'm assuming Kyle's article had more details on the Elevation 360, including the number of speakers and wattage as I don't see that info elsewhere. I'm curious what those figures happen to be. I'm assuming it's similar to either the Meridian "Surround" or "Signature" packages, as those include...
I'm assuming so since the CS rep lumped all sizes together, and didn't differentiate between standard alloy and dark, but who knows! I don't necessarily trust everything they say.
No. According to the below thread/post, only the 20's are forged. 21s and 22s are cast and flow formed.

Which tire would that be by chance? I haven't discovered any as of yet, including on Tire Rack. If I'm not mistaken, this would be the first 275/55 R21.
@electruck I think your statement here is interesting and warrants a little further discussion. I'm very far away from being extremely knowledgeable from tires. I know the basics like most, but i've never delved super deep. With that said, are you able to shed some light on why the 275/55R21...
I am definitely in the minority here with being a fan of the standard alloy 21s on the R1S.
My main concerns are mileage efficiency, a quiet ride, and flexibility. I like the looks of the 21s (prob the only one, lol) and don’t care if they are not forged. I highly doubt what I’ll be doing in...
Have fun with that!!! Lol. Well, I’m personally not doing that digging! Ha. However, Google is pretty smart. You’d prob have a better shot by narrowing your search to all things “Rivian LLC” or similar and narrowing your time period to the last week or 24 hours for the most focused results. It...
If I were to guess, any partnership would be with Enel X (Juicebox) as they worked with them on Long Way Up. Who knows if they were planning anything further than that though.
