Agreed on needing to have it and drive for a bit to confirm so you can find its personality. No doubt the same with my dogs too.

I thought I would ask a fun question as we wait for more details to be released. A lot of people, myself included, name their vehicles for a variety of reasons. I’ve done this with virtually every vehicle I’ve owned and will do so again with my R1T. I’ve currently got Launch Green configured...

My RAM had 5 ride height options: Entry/Exit, Normal, Aero, Off-road 1 and off-road 2.All could be set manually with the selector switch on the dash. Normal and Aero where also dynamic based upon speed. I would expect this will be basically the same on the Rivian with the exception of it being...

FWIW, I asked CS about this last week and provided pictures for clarity. They basically said the pocket with buckle/clip like you see in the configurator “are here to stay” but did also note that there are some accent trim differences in the pocket between the Launch/Adventure editions and the...

In regards to losing space, I have been told that the tonneau will retract fully into the housing and not protrude out into the bed like a lot of other roll up tonneau covers do. The overhead shots posted from the drone footage seem to confirm this which is good.

I had asked about this awhile back and got the more to come later response. I am hopeful that is another question that can be officially answered very soon. I can’t imagine something that common would not be included at this point but you never know.

It looks fantastic that’s for sure. Nice to see it in a bit of real world view. Hopefully we hear a lot more about it very soon.

Not sure why this was attributed to me. I don’t own a Tesla :) But I do agree that value isn’t about being the cheapest. Value is relative by any individual. I am certainly willing to pay a premium for something that resonates with me at a personal level that may not mean much to someone else...

At this point given the overall discrepancies in answers to various members here on a variety of topics, including the purpose of this thread on the power tailgate, I’m simply waiting for an official reveal and test drive to get my hands on it to confirm just about anything rather than rely on...

I just asked about this again and I was told that information was coming. I also asked about the ability to simply release the tailgate from the keyfob, app and UI in addition to the bed rail release. This should require it to be dampened but I got the same answer of more information is coming.

I think you misinterpreted what I said. I don’t believe anyone thinks the Rivian is attempting to be a full size wheelbase vehicle at all. The “unique approach” you mention plays into everything I said. How it drives, how do I feel sitting in the cab, the overall UX, how the technology ecosystem...

100% agreed on this. Not only do I want to see how it really drives and handles outside of what videos show us, I need to see what it feels like inside (I’m used to larger, full size truck interiors) and what the overall drive experience (to incorporate all technology functions) is as compared...

CS had confirmed/indicated that to me awhile back. I would have to go find the exact comment from them but paraphrasing it, it was essentially “we’ve designed the truck and bed to be as efficient as possible and there is step access from the gear tunnel doors”. I was actually thinking about that...

These two will be taking over my R1T

Agreed. Similar line of thinking. I apparently read right over the use of the term Rivian Shuttle System on their site when I originally looked at that section and was using ‘rail system’ generically. My bad

I understand both of your points. I don’t really have a strong preference either way on how it would have ended up. For me though, it isn’t any different than releasing my tailgate from my keyfob or in my cab while one of my kids goes to get something. It is on me to ensure that it is safe to do...

no apologies needed my man. I was just clarifying for completeness which I should have done a better job of on the first comment.

Yes I am aware those those are very different. However, with electric latches one could expect them to be able to release the latch allow the compartment to open much like pushing a tailgate release button in the cab of truck or on a keyfob which I do almost daily in my current truck. I would...

CS stated that earlier show vehicles had electric latches but they had been removed due to cost and complexity to get vehicles out quicker. Some early images of the center UI implied, at least to me, that you could at least lock them from there but I do not believe it was ever demonstrated.

Chat with CS. I didn’t ask specifically about being able to open/release them with the fob so that is unknown. Although I can’t imagine you wouldn’t be able to do that as just a latch release.
