Below is a cool video showing how the charging port opens. Looks like a proximity sensor is used to close it.
If I knew how to make a GIF, I would, but I don't soooo.
Maybe it's nothing, but I noticed that overnight they removed all references to the Camp Kitchen on their vehicle support page. You can still find them if you search, but the actual links have been removed from the listing in the FAQ. Looks like it's still an option in the configurator...
I've had a bad attitude today, so I want to start a thread to bring some joy back into the forum.
What are you currently driving, and will you keep it or get rid of it when you get your Rivian? Let's seem some whips!
I have a 2013 Audi S6, which the R1T will replace. And a Ducati SC1000...
I asked the mods to open up an off-topic forum so that we can get to know each other outside of the vehicle-specific areas.
So, I'll get us started. Let's see some pictures of those co-pilots!
Here's Simon. 2ish year-old rescue from the shelter I volunteer at. Maybe some Red Heeler...
Another video of R1T on the road in Cali somewhere.
And possibly a hint to what it will sound like at low speeds? I can't tell if it's the Rivian making the sound, or the delivery van behind it. If it's the Van, that's one bad-ass sounding delivery van.
As I often do while on boring work calls, I was perusing the Rivian support pages hoping for new info. Maybe it's been here the whole time and I just missed it, but the below details on how Alexa will work is new to me.

And completely unrelated, they...
Lucid has announced completion of their factory, and provided some photos.
At first glance, despite having similar initial delivery targets to Rivian, their plant/assembly line appear to be much further along than Rivian's...
Business Insider published an interesting article that interviews 3 of Rivian's investors. They explain why they have so much faith that Rivian is on the right track, and why they believe it's a solid investment.
Worth the read if you have a few minutes. Article was behind a paywall on my...
I just noticed that there is a snazzy new preorder page on the Rivian website (https://rivian.com/preorder).
However, you can only now select USA or Canada for your region. They've eliminated ordering if you live in Mexico, at least for now.
Ignoring the fact that the author didn't even get the model number correct, here's a somewhat interesting new Forbes article on Rivian. While they don't share any hard facts or real information (it's all speculation), there are some interesting tidbits to be found:
and
This is the first time...
Does anyone have insight on what the final design of the back windows on the R1T will look like? In some of Rivian's photo's/videos there is a "split" in the rear window, while in others it's just one solid piece of glass. The one piece version is my preference, but it's not a deal breaker...
Don’t shoot the messenger.

Updated to share that Rivian has now directly confirmed the June 2021 delay, and is being discussed here...
Figured I would share this from one of the Rivian enthusiast pages on Facebook. It's far from an official statement, but a member reached out to Rivian via social media regarding when those with pre-orders would be able to configure their vehicles, and received the following response from the...
