Others are wondering the same thing over in the Ordering, Pricing, Production, Delivery section of the forum.

That may or may not have been the case "few months ago." IMHO what matters is where they are at today. Rivian recently posted a YT video on April 1st recorded "just before temporarily shutting down of their facilities to help slow the spread of COVID-19," would imply they are further along.

Or possibly upcoming target dates. ... That's why you can't read too much into these videos. They're more than likely made by professional companies that use whatever past footage and pictures are available and mix them in to the current video that fits the narrative. Grain of salt.

Some interesting articles to supplement your stay-at-home reading material. :cool: Chicago Tribune - "Electric truck startup Rivian pushes launch back to 2021 as COVID-19 delays Normal factory retooling" "Rivian had planned to make the first deliveries of preordered trucks and SUVs this...

Perhaps one of the two rotating seasonal colors ... "two employees made it seem like a burnt orange/root beer color will be available." Source: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/attending-fully-charged-live-in-austin.407/post-5375

Nice find, thanks. I didn't realize Rivian now has offices in Wittmann, AZ and Vancouver, BC.

Rivian has said for a while now (unless I missed a recent announcement that says otherwise) the 8 exterior colors to be offered will be available for both the R1T and R1S. Given that I would assume the green R1T you see in the video is the same green as the R1S seen at the reveal and at many...

Yea, I noticed that just after I added my post which I updated. How about that "test camo" wrap? Now a military camo wrap could be interesting. :idea:

Rivian also posted an accompanying Rivian Story titled Remote Engineering. So who would like this wrap on their R1T/R1S? o_O (Same image can be found in the YT video above) Excerpt from the Rivian Story web page: Did you notice the artwork on our test vehicles? No, that’s not a new...

Video added to the Rivian videos as posted on Rivian Stories or their YouTube channel thread. It's my understanding from Rivian that the exterior colors to be offered will be available for both the R1T and R1S.

Added new video and a new Rivian story to bottom of OP: April 17, 2020 - Rivian Youtube (1:14) - Building a Test Vehicle | Progress Report | Rivian April 17, 2020 - Rivian Stories - Adventurous Forever, The Activity Book (no video) - Remote Engineering (no video but interesting read)

I had specifically asked a Rivian employee (Tony but forgot his title) at the pre-order holder table while at the Normal event last October about this. I asked when I'm notified to configure my EV or whatever step in their process that causes me to convert my pre-order to an order implying some...

Same here. And if I understood what RJ said regarding geo-fencing, the vehicle would determine if you're on a "specific" trail implying (?) the tank turn function would not be available if not on a geo-fenced detected trail? So unless your beckoning, snowy covered "parking lot" is within a...

Definitely, but more generally the gear tunnel itself is clearly a big selling point ... and without the added and more than likely high cost of an optional pullout kitchen.

Exactly ... with one clarification - 7776 cells is for the middle tier battery pack (135 kWh). At 864 cells per battery module (producing just over 15 kWh) the 135 kWh BP requires 9 battery modules. 864*9=7776

Two new videos added to bottom of OP. April 8, 2020 - Rivian Stories (6:58) - THE LUCKY ONES April 10, 2020 - Rivian Youtube (2:43) - Climbing in Tahoe | Our Travels | Rivian

Thought I would start a new thread when Rivian posts a new video on Rivian Stories on their website or a video on their YouTube channel. February 6, 2020 (5:44) - Episode One: The Climb | Adventurous Forever | Rivian Update: Above video appears to be no longer available. February 27...

FWIW there still may be some physical controls on a Rivian as we really don't know yet where Rivian will land with the final version of the steering wheel, or for that matter anywhere else in the vehicle. I would actually prefer to have a few common and multi-purpose, physical controls. E.g...

I would say no as others have. However, I can easily see Rivian partnering with one of the current EVSE suppliers so Rivian can offer one (possibly from a list of different EVSEs) as an option at purchase and/or include it in one of their option packages. With Rivian being a luxury brand and...

Cancelled? Did Rivian make another announcement after they sent the email that indicated the upcoming events would be postponed? The stories section of their website, https://stories.rivian.com/ , still indicates the events are only postponed.
