Lightly modified ~2014 Cayenne… until Rivian is available.

The LinkedIn pages for Rivian are interesting reading. A large number of positions posted in the last 24 hrs. Includes technical positions in a range of locations - including Raleigh, Las Vegas, Palo Alto, Philly, St Louis, Cleveland, Phoenix, Canada, Netherlands, and the UK - etc.

If the blue is really that dark - then I’d be torn too. Best ‘blue truck’ photo I’ve seen. Looking forward to reality - instead of guessing at white filter settings and backgrounds.

One of the better photos of the charging port - opening ‘out and rotate’ - on Instagram from LA. Not sure how recent this is.

2 1/2 years in and I’m still optimistic. I’d say we are due to learn which other cities - beyond “Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, Detroit and Seattle” will become part of the Drive Program. Hoping for another 10-15 locations to be revealed by Friday July 2nd.

My Rivian Guide made a comment that the Camp Kitchen comes with storage bags to protect the components when you need the gear tunnel for other purposes.

The Aussies know how to overland. And there is lots of Outback to do it in…

Looks like a great space. Reminds me of the Classic Car Club of Manhattan - site of one of the Rivian previews.

One of the oddities of the Rivian rollout over the next few months is the order of events: July: weekly information updates July: first deliveries (?) August: Rivian Tour (10 locations?) August: At-home Drives August: more deliveries (?) Sept: more deliveries (?) If you are sitting on the...

Thank you - did not see this - but some great comments there…?

New (to me) information on Reddit about 3 Rivians spotted in NZ. The thinking is they are headed to the Southern Hemisphere Proving Grounds for more winter testing.

As summarised in Post #370 I found my guide interaction on June 2nd quite useful. Whether I like the timeline she laid out or not, I now know to expect weekly informational updates starting in July, and an estimated delivery in Week 4 in October. I also have a direct phone and email connection...

Agree - have not heard of any instance of this on any of the boards I’m looking at.

I asked about Warn winches, and whether or not Rivian was in discussions with Warn on Rivian-specific or Rivian-optimized winches. She did not know but promised to follow up with the relevant in-house experts.

Just finished my Rivian Guide Introductory Meeting (Summary): Thought I only had 1-2 questions, but meeting went for an hour. Overall - much better than expected, and got answers to most of my questions. My Guide was very up-front, gave me specifics when she could, and was upfront on questions...

I’ll find out tomorrow - maybe - when I have my 1st bonding session with my Rivian Guide. Could be a short discussion since I only have 1 question - what is my delivery date? ??

My guesstimate is that the number of Rivian Reservation Holders contacted is: RRHC = TRG x Int/week x weeks ahead RRHC = 40 x 30 x 1 RRHC = 1,200 Assuming 40 Trained Rivian Guides, each able to process 30 interviews/week, and only emailing Reservation Holders one week ahead of time.

It seems we are seeing the leading edge of Rivian Guides contacting a few of us. My guess is this is to be consistent with May as the launch date for such reach-outs. I suspect there is a lot of hiring and training of guides going on in the background. Those of us contacted ‘early’ may simply...

Yes, NE is New England, Western MA. Will have to reduce down to two vehicles, and since I’ll never sell my air cooled ‘92 911 it will be exchanging the FJ and the Rivian. I ‘think’ the Rivian will better match my needs for hauling tools, and getting me to Mtn bike and ski locations. ? ? ⛷
