  1. Watch the R1T tonneau cover roll up automatically (with water on top)

    Wow that's amazing, they somehow magically drain the wat—oh, dang, never mind.
  2. Reviews coming in for Lucid

    Every time I get an email from Lucid, I think, "Why can't Rivian communicate this often (and this clearly)?"
  3. Photos and observations from First Mile Event with R1T

    No way to know for sure, but this review feels authentic. The issues mentioned are things others touched on, although most tended to gloss over, sugarcoat, or otherwise dismiss them. Most of it still sounds fixable via OTA updates. Others, like the tonneau issues... definitely makes me wonder if...
  4. Real Rivian Photos & Videos

    That is a good point. In that sense, yes, it is on-brand. (And I know there's a lot of complaining on the forums, so my GGG comment isn't that, just me musing aloud as I see him (it?) more often.) Maybe it'll turn into a small revenue stream for Rivian. GGG DLC and cosmetics. "Dress up GGG in a...
  5. Real Rivian Photos & Videos

    Gear Guard Guy seems to be official, hmm? Initially, I'd thought it was just a placeholder but... it doesn't seem like they'd go through the trouble of making a custom animation as a throwaway. It's comical but also seems somewhat out of place to me. It's the only design feature I've seen that...
  6. Chicago Rivian Sales Location Under Construction

    I'm south of Louisville (KY) and this remains the nearest Rivian location to me of which I'm aware. (Actually was in Chicago over the summer for a while, and your pics saved me the trouble of seeking out the location as I knew there wasn't much to see yet.) Appreciate the updates!
  7. R1S Pre-order complete

    The question is what does RIVIAN gain by doing this. This explains what you gain. I think it really illustrates what Rivian would stand to lose if the information were disclosed. If, for example, I found out today that I would almost certainly not be getting my R1S until mid-2023... I may very...
  8. R1S Pre-order complete

    They'd gain the fun and excitement of getting to read all kinds of forum posts about how there are "so many preorders it will take forever to get one" or "there's hardly any preorders compared to the Cybertruck/F150 Lightning/<insert loose competitor here> so therefore Rivian is doomed to fail"...
  9. R1T Reviews Master List: JRE, Rivian Stories, Jalopnik, Inside EVs, KBB, Roadshow, ETC

    I am guessing it's slightly better than the stock system in my Flex (six speakers, of which maybe two still work). My bar is low.
  10. My R1T test drive review from Normal today. It is very good

    Let us know if you get a price estimate, please! I know it will vary (perhaps even significantly) depending where one lives, but even a ballpark figure would be great. I've never wrapped a car before—never had one worth wrapping—but am definitely considering it for the R1S when I get it next...
  11. R1T Reviews Master List: JRE, Rivian Stories, Jalopnik, Inside EVs, KBB, Roadshow, ETC

    That Snazzy Labs review was fantastic. Never heard of him/them before, but that was one of my faves for sure.
  12. Test Drive Invitations are arriving! And First Mile events tab now available

    Right?! I can't even crack my window at 35mph and carry on a conversation. Windows down at 90mph is just unfathomable. All I can imagine is my eardrums bursting from the wind buffeting.
  13. Reddit Ask MotorTrend Anything (AMA) about their R1T Adventure! [Friday 9/24, 9-11am PT]

    I upvoted you back to neutral ground. Their later responses clarified that "next year" means "the next year of SUV of the Year" awards. SUVOTY was decided in August, and they didn't have the R1S available then. Presumably in August 2022, they'll have one to test and it will be eligible. Truck...
  14. Cameras App Features & Functions - clues from the Motortrend feature

    Do we know that for sure? I am pretty sure it was confirmed that gear guard would, well, guard your gear by monitoring the R1T's truck bed. Has it been confirmed that it will act as a dash cam? That it will monitor the entire vehicle when parked like Sentry Mode on a Tesla? I'm assuming both...
  15. TFL snubbed by Rivian: video

    My opinion: It's easy for things like this to seem Big and Important in a small forum. In the larger picture, it's important to remember that most people don't know who/what TFL is, and this isn't going to affect Rivian one iota. (And to be fair, most people don't know who Rivian is, either.)
  16. FOREST GREEN R1T Photos

    R1S preorder checking in: FG with Forest Edge interior. I think it's going to look amazing.
  17. Official Rivian Wall Charger installation guide

    Gen 3 on the wall connector. Looking to replace if if/when I get my RIvian because then I won't need to buy an adapter. My "understanding" (using that term loosely) is that any Tesla —> J1772 adapter will cause somewhat slower charging. It makes more sense to me to use the Rivian wall charger...
  18. Official Rivian Wall Charger installation guide

    It's a 60A breaker so I believe I'd be leaving it at the default settings on the dip switches. The torque part, I had planned on "okay, that feels tight enough" but your comment is making me think that is not going to cut it. My wife said "get whatever you need" ... until we saw the prices on...
  19. Official Rivian Wall Charger installation guide

    Now THAT I can do! I read the guide (honestly, Rivian could publish just about any piece of information and I'd read it) and it looked.... very easy. Just wanted to make sure it was as easy as it looked. Thank you!
