    RJ Interview from 2018 - Pre-Reveal

    Found this video from an event in Normal back in October(ish) of 2018. I found it really interesting to see his perspective on where they were headed vs where we know them to be now. Granted Covid got in the way of some of their milestones but still a fascinating interview. Since Rivian is...

    Thoughts on seeing a Rivian in person for the first time....

    I am going to try to put into words my thoughts on seeing the Rivian in the Metal for the first time. While it was very exciting for me it was also very tough because while I wanted to ask many questions and quiet frankly some difficult questions I believe this event was not meant for pre-order...

    Can we talk about range again?

    I want to talk about range again while my Grand Canyon trip is fresh in my mind. I am trying to keep it simple for those of us who have never owned a bev. All this talk about charging rates, curves and C rating makes my head spin..... I realize this is all conjecture at this point but if we...

    I could have used my R1S this week...

    Hope everyone is safe and warm here in Texas... I wouldn't have minded having my R1S to "plow" the driveway.... Instead I had to use my wife's Forester... There is a driveway in there somewhere under 5-6 inches of snow.... *I realize for many of you this is no big deal but for central Texas this...

    Happy New Year Email from Rivian

    While it lacks anything really new in content I just received an email from Rivian restating some of their goals for this year. Any news is good news....

    Center Display question for those of you who own Teslas....

    I am curious if you can dim or turn off the center screen while driving? I realize on the model 3 and Y this is probably impractical due to it being the only display.... I am hoping Rivian provides a way to turn off the middle screen at least at night.... (since there is a drivers display for...

    I can't wait for traditional dealerships to die....

    Sorry guys - I've chosen our little Rivian group to vent a little. My parents called me out of the blue yesterday because they were driving down to my side of town to look at a Ford Truck (they could never talk themselves into a Rivian even though I believe they could afford it. It was a...

    Amateur Hour - Charging Question

    So as a backup plan to our summer vacation we ended up in Galveston for the week.... It's not Italy but still some much needed R&R for the family. I noticed the hotel has what I assume is a Tesla branded "destination charger" for use by hotel guests. I assume this is not on Tesla Charging...

    Our own "configurator" Thread

    Thinking about the options for these vehicles let's discuss how we are going to configure ours... Based on what I "think" I know... This is my configuration. R1S 180 kWh Color - Decidedly UnDecided (Charcoal Grey might be my first choice though if available) Electrochromic Glass Roof (at...

    Swapping out battery packs

    First - I realize that the battery pack is one of the most expensive parts of the car (if not the single most expensive part/group of parts). Things "I think" we already know: Rivian does not intend to support upgrades from smaller battery packs to larger battery pack. The battery packs are...

    My first disappointment - cup holders (maybe)

    So I have been scouring the internet looking for decent pictures of the interior. I finally came across this one that shows the pop out cupholders for the front passengers. I have to assume (at this point) that this is a real picture and not a mock up. I would much prefer a fixed position cup...

    Let's talk about charging on long distance travel?

    I wrote a very long post about range anxiety and long distance traveling but then I realized it really boiled down to 2 questions. 1. What apps or utilities do you use when planning a long distance trip? 2. Do you ever think charging stations will be installed at actual gas stations? As we...
