Siruis/XM was great until someone got the bright idea to include the DJ experience. I don't need the gravelly voice, personal opinions or one sided banter. 10's of Thousand of MP3's baby on a thumb drive and cd's dirt cheap at garage sales to make more. Nobody wants those old people silver...

spec·u·la·tion - the forming of a theory or conjecture without firm evidence. The activity of guessing possible answers to a question without having enough information to be certain hypothesis supposition Wild ass stab in the dark There is a long list of ways we, as simple human beings, fill...

There’s a new vehicle delivering smiles to customers, and it’s electric. Amazon customer deliveries will look a little different in parts of Los Angeles. Just one year after announcing the purchase of 100,000 custom electric delivery vehicles as part of The Climate Pledge, Amazon has begun...

Here is a massive opportunity to develop a mobile charging station. I have AAA and they will bring me enough gas to get to a station if I run out (the time to fill is inconsequential). The Rivian v to v charging is a great thing but how many Rivians are on the road? Stack some power walls in the...

It looks to me there are 8 stampings per rack and the racks appear to be 5 deep x 3 high that should be 120 R1t's given left and right side. It almost makes me breathless to think these may actually be on the road in September...ish. I like the compass yellow and have one of the 14 reservations.

I remember the Japanese being innovative and focused on reliability. You don't deeply infiltrate an existing market without a fine product (Yugo anyone?). They seem to have built their success on the lack of concern from the American manufacturers..."Let them have the little car market we'll...

This lends credence to my somewhat blind faith regarding Rivian Engineering. The components being modular are a great idea for easier removal and storage. I like the dual t-slot they attach to the shuttle with for secure use. Rachel seems genuinely proud of her teams accomplishment. RJ did...

Dang, I thought this was a Rivian Forum..

I agree here. There will be bugs in a new product regardless of the time spent perfecting it by cloistered engineering teams. The end users (us) will find applications for the tech that couldn't have been accounted for in design. These will lead to glitches in software or hopefully just some...

There are cameras and or monitoring devices everywhere in our lives. Go to a store and the store is purported to know where you are in the store, how long you linger in an area etc. by using your cell phone. The AI technology that knows the You Tube videos I like also knows what my general...

It's important to acknowledge the accomplishments of Elon Musk not only with Tesla but his other endeavors. He is a visionary and has pointed the automotive world's manufacturers in a new direction by the weight of his success. His direction of Space x has dominated the supply for the ISS. He is...

Picture this old man sitting in full lotus listening to The Moody Blues 'OM' manifesting a shimmering twisting mandala in the air over his head in perfect harmony and peaceful repose patient unto the end of time. Now picture a squirming little boy hand on crotch desperate to find a place to pee...

I had a red 69 Ford F100 with 3 on the tree and a 240 straight 6. It was originally red (mostly) I had it painted Corvette yellow. It was awesome. The Rivian Compass Yellow isn't nearly as vibrant from the photos but it's not canary either. That is my choice with Ocean Coast interior. I have no...

I have gone back and forth with configurations from my original choice of LA Silver (penny pinching) to Compass Yellow back to LA Silver hoping for an earlier delivery date. My family thinks I may have lost my mind. I promised to look but haven't yet found it yet. The delivery date is a concern...

There seems to some trepidation regarding battery tech and future obsolescence. The existing 21/700 cells are proven and Rivian has plans for reusing the cells for other forms of storage when their automotive life cycle is past. There is a quite good (it's a bit long however) interview on...

I'm amazed how many people have never heard of Rivian and ask what my plate means. I sometimes tell them its an Indonesian electric river eel that eats cyber rodents on land...

The salespeople at dealerships are not motivated by accurately representing their brand's specs. They are good at sales techniques and are motivated by competition with each other to be top in sales and a fat commission. The new sales model represented by Rivian, Tesla and hopefully the...

I placed my reservation in February of 19. I configured on the first day of availability and have updated the color once. This whole process has been an exercise in patience (not my strong suit). Getting my truck by mid July would be awesome but I think September seems more likely as the color...

There could be variations to the existing R1T design already in the works. Loose the 2nd half of the cab thereby extending the bed for a utility based truck. They could easily increase the power outlets in the back for operating more tools. How about an integrated compressor tank in the gear...
