    What do you want addressed in the next OTA update?

    I haven't seen anyone else mention this, so maybe it's just me, but I really want a button to fold/unfold the mirrors on the camera view screen. I have to fold the mirrors when backing out of my garage and it always annoys me to back up until I'm close, then exit out of the camera screen and go...

    Rivian Transitioning to Railway Train Transport For Deliveries

    Interesting note: After doing some quick searches, it looks like industry standard bi-level auto rack rail cars are 89' long and vehicles need to be separated by a minimum of 3". Because of the length difference between the R1T and the R1S, this means that a single rail car can only hold 8...

    Out of Spec's R1T towing test impressions & results

    Fantastic test @OutofSpecKyle - thank you for staying up late to get the data under consistent conditions! I know it was already too late at night, but it would be really great to do the exact same test with another EV towing the same trailer to see how consistent the increased energy...

    June / July Delivery Thread

    Thanks for starting a thread so us mid-year deliveries don't feel left out! :like: Also, thank you for creating something to read other than 100 pages of rehashing an hour long summary of a 25 page earnings report with roughly 5 sentences of new information o_O May 2020 Preorder LE R1S Forest...

    Help Me Decide - Should I wait or buy another

    I fully agree. If you donā€™t need the R1 capabilities and are just enamored with Rivian, get the M3 or ID4 now, switch your reservation to Explore Max Pack and then switch it to be first in line for the smaller R2 model that will be closer to your needs as soon as it is announced (Iā€˜m guessing...

    Real Rivian Photos & Videos

    Doh - just missed it! I was just at that intersection driving home from work yesterday, but there weren't any T's or S's around at the time. For those who don't recognize the streets, the video was taken from the visitor parking lot of the South San Francisco service center.

    Official Thread for Sonoma Event Posts

    Thanks for the update! Good to hear they have worked out a solution for the downhill and wonderful pics of the pup enjoying the tent! Thatā€™s cool they watched your dog while you were on the test drive - thatā€™s the level of customer service that will build brand allegiance over time. Everyone I...

    Official Thread for Sonoma Event Posts

    How was the event today? Were the trucks back on the bark area today and did you get to drive the full course? My wife and I went yesterday morning (Friday) and I was somewhat disappointed by the event (still excited for our LE R1S when it eventually arrives - just wasn't impressed by the...

    EV tax credit increase to $12,500 in Biden's latest proposal as of 10/28

    I like where you are going with this. Given what we are hearing about Ford dealers adding $10k+ to MSRP for "market adjustment fees", Rivian could announce a MSRP on the RIS of $60k and just add on a "convenience fee" for the benefits we get from not having to deal with sleazy dealers. One of...

    How do you think Rivian will evolve their model numbering scheme?

    I agree with what @bd5400 said, but I don't think what he described means the numbers will be arbitrary. R1 is not just the first models they are making, it also denotes their top of the line "halo" product line. From all the news coverage and interviews I've read, RJ and Rivian seem to have a...

    Bay Area First Mile Event invites sent - Nov 5 onwards

    Booked my drive for 11/12. May 2020 R1S LE located in Belmont. I'd love it if they add some pre-production R1S's to the event by that point, but then again, there's no difference between the T and S as long as I never look back ;)

    Rivian R1T OWNERS MANUAL Guide is here! ?

    Agreed. I'm excited to see what they come up with and interested to see if it is the same for everyone in a given driving mode setting or if it learns and adjusts your driver profile to your individual driving style over time.

    Latest Time Estimate for Launch Edition - via chat with Rivian 9/21/21

    It all depends on how short you can set the minimum follow distance. If you can set it to a very short follow distance ("Alexa set cruise control to tailgate mode"), you will see it behaving just like regular cruise control and you will come right up on the person in front of you and both they...

    Rivian R1T OWNERS MANUAL Guide is here! ?

    We keep talking about regen and strength of regen in this thread, but I think the different preferences people are describing are actually better addressed by the pedal response (how movement of the "gas" pedal translates to increased power or regeneration). I have to assume that the R1 pedal...

    A look at Rivian Service Centers, now located in Brooklyn, Bellevue, Normal, San Francisco and El Segundo

    Yeah, they have made good progress. Furniture is in and the lobby looks finished. Last couple of times I drove by there was someone hanging out in the lobby (I'm guessing they are interviewing people to work there). Haven't seen any Rivian vehicles parked outside yet, but I'm hoping that will...

    Rivian Service Centers / Retail Locations List / Other Facilities (Pics & Updates)

    I found a new service location to add to the list! 206 Utah Ave. South San Francisco, CA Pretty sure I confused the heck out of a driver doing the other way when I slammed on my brakes and sat there staring at a random building like I had found the pot of gold at the end of a rainbow! :D As...

    Chicago Tribune Article With Great Factory Updates and Photos!

    Good point and it aligns with the side mirror cap color differences. If that's the case, the adventure would be body color trim on the top and the explore would be black trim. I'd be fine with that if they also match the rear hatch trim to the body color, but not sure I like the rear hatch being...

    Possible Rivian Meetup Locations

    This sounds fantastic and I could definitely see it turning into an annual tradition! Being an introvert even online, I havenā€™t posted a lot but have learned a ton and really appreciate the friendliness of this forum. It would be great to meet some of you in person once deliveries start (hoping...

    What do you guys think about a two-door R1T

    :CWL: yes! There will also be an option to get it triple wrapped with low adhesive vinyl, so when you get tired of the first color, just peel off the first layer and you have a new color!
