  1. Update: 2023.26.00 (new features, improvements, and bug fixes)

    Honestly, while waiting for my R1T, following each of the updates and improved OS is pretty exciting (being an armchair quarterback) It's one of the most important reasons for keeping my reservation, in seeing how proactive they are. Obviously, they want to roll out "working" software. Not...
  2. Why would you order Dual Motor Performance? (cost breakdown)

    Not really a choice when the maxpack quad went to a maxpack dual. Trailer towing with a heavy trailer in mountain passes means .7 to 1 kWh/mile. Large is going to get 100 miles, maxpack should get about 150 miles. If you consider that you are likely going to have to unhook the trailer each time...
  3. New Rivian hub / sales center / showroom incoming @ Burnaby BC, Brentwood Mall

    I have a work-related function that night, otherwise it'd be cool to be at the opening
  4. July Delivery Window Estimate Update Delayed Until August

    I am reading that differently. I am reading that they want you to order a bunch of gear, so are delaying the update so that they can sell you more stuff. I don't think that necessarily means that any production dates are going to change at all. By the way they are producing vehicles, I think...
  5. New 20" Aftermarket Wheels - R800 Compass 8 Spoke In Satin Black or Adventure Bronze by Team 1EV / EV Sportline

    I like the look, and am hoping Rivian software guys code a simple user interface for switching from street tires like the 21's to an snow/offroad tire of a slightly different diameter. For example I am ordering the road tire, but need a winter tire, where we lie, and see the truck living in a...
  6. US EV market struggles with price cuts and rising inventories

    Further to that, if you simplify it even further before other manufacturers jumped into EV production, what made Tesla successful? Certainly, the styling was not it. I mean the cars are okay, but other than maybe the roadster, none of them is going to be on a cars version of GQ magazine for...
  7. US EV market struggles with price cuts and rising inventories

    I cancelled my F150 Lightning for a few reasons. I'm coming from an F150 that has had numerous major issues over its lifespan, and I keep ploughing money into it, to keep it top-notch. So when I noted on the forum that there is a significant powertrain malfunction issue (usually at the top of...
  8. New Rivian hub / sales center / showroom incoming @ Burnaby BC, Brentwood Mall

    Looks like this will be open on the 28th of July
  9. Rivian's First Canadian "Spaces" Showroom coming to at Brentwood Shopping Mall in Burnaby, Vancouver.

    Following NYC, looks like this will be opening July 28th https://insideevs.com/news/676168/rivian-first-canadian-spaces-showroom/
  10. Ontario Service Centre Location

    Nice, I'd guess you'll be seeing substantial work complete, pending inspections October-ish. Depending on staff training hopefully selling vehicles out of that location before year's end. The good news is that the production ramp is underway, so whenever it opens, you'll have a boatload of vehicles
  11. RIVIAN BLUE Rivian Photos

    Looks great, you have my truck configuration, aside from it not being a dual motor/max. Also considering the running boards, which look very good also.
  12. Painting Calipers + Rear Brake Release

    Not certain why one wants to paint their calipers, because the finish will have a limited lifespan. TBH if some place is just going to paint the calipers, you can do that yourself with VHT paint, and a bit of clever masking. On a new set of calipers it should not be that bad. Check Summit...
  13. Max Pack still 180kW?

    We'll have to wait and see. If we take the current advertised numbers The increased range from the Standard Pack 105 kWh to the Large pack 135 kWh is +29.7% range increase for a +30 kw/h a 28.5% increase in kWh (ie numbers seem to match) The advertised estimated range for the Large Pack 135...
  14. Rivian patents tailgate with gooseneck hinges that open 90 and 180 degrees

    Definitely interesting, looks like there is a step notch incorporated as well. I am wondering if this becomes an optional tailgate or standard offering.
  15. Rivian in the Red Rocks Photo Shoot

    Excellent and really inspiring photos. The factory wheels look 100% better, the way you've refinished them. Just a great looking set-up. I seriously had a moment, when I considered switching my configuration to an off-road quad version. Just a moment though. Now I have to stop looking at the...
  16. If the R1S was under $80k I'd buy in a heartbeat

    Based on having a Hyundai EV, for over a year, their onboard tech while okay, is managed by techs that don't have a good grasp on that at the service centres. So you get an economical vehicle, but you suffer some economies on the user side. Despite carplay which we barely use The tech already...
  17. Wait for it...... WHEW ! ......

    Wheel bearings and boat trailers - great way to ruing your trip and maybe someone elses
  18. Why would you order Dual Motor Performance? (cost breakdown)

    Clearly the bread and butter vehicle is going to be a dual motor R1S. And then the R2 (suv) But it's not in production yet. So pretending I am Rivian, for a second, and I have only quad motor vehicle production, then I am most certainly going to under-promise on the dual motor versions. That...
