  1. Realistic Delivery Schedule?

    We can reasonably exclude anyone listing their edition as explorer as well, although I did see some that put yes on both explorer and adventure (also not sure what two no's means). I guess the major assumption is that the distribution of people filling out that survey mirrors the distribution...

  2. Realistic Delivery Schedule?

    Maybe I'm being dense here, but how did you determine if someone ordered the launch edition? I get that you can narrow it down with some of the fields but I'm not sure I can fully identify what is Launch. Am I missing a field that says they ordered launch?

  3. Paint: Can someone please explain how Rivian can justify charging $1,500/$2,500 for select colors?

    I wouldn't necessarily say less aesthetic...your options with a vinyl wrap are literally endless since you can have them printed with any color or pattern. If you are only looking to impress people while driving around, the vinyl wrap might be a better option. But if protection is what you are...

  4. Paint: Can someone please explain how Rivian can justify charging $1,500/$2,500 for select colors?

    Yes you have several options from a few manufacturers. What you are looking for is PPF (paint protection film), and it actually provides more protection for the paint than a vinyl wrap would as its thicker and developed to protect as opposed to changing color. Xpel, suntek, 3M are 3...

  5. Paint: Can someone please explain how Rivian can justify charging $1,500/$2,500 for select colors?

    You can find some discussion on this here: https://www.rivianforums.com/forum/threads/somewhat-disappointing-colors-cost-extra.812/ Other manufacturers upcharge for certain colors of paint, not surprising to me Rivian would follow suit. Range Rover has some paints you can cough up $23.5k...

  6. Driver+

    I've got to imagine that's part of the deal with Amazon. It would benefit both parties. Tesla has billions of miles of data and over a million cars on the road to build out their self driving capabilities. I think given advances in technology and AI, it won't take Rivian as long as Tesla to...

  7. Real Rivian Photos & Videos

    100% agree with you

  8. Real Rivian Photos & Videos

    Love this one! I'm planning to put xpel stealth on my midnight black R1T and I imagine this is pretty close to what it will look like

  9. Somewhat disappointing- colors cost extra

    This! To me the $7,500 difference between Explore and Adventure/LE is actually really reasonable. Many of the upgrades I actually want....powered tonneau, premium sound, microfiber headliner that matches the other black interior finishes, upgraded floor mats, ventilated seats, and while I...

  10. Update from Rivian: Dark Wheel Option coming soon for Launch Edition reservation holders

    Thanks! Its Xpel Stealth ppf on tesla black. Wanted the paint protection as they are known for weak paint, and couldn't pass up the satin look. Seriously considering this for my R1T. PPF plus a ceramic coat make keeping that black clean easy. The thing to keep in mind with a color change...

  11. Update from Rivian: Dark Wheel Option coming soon for Launch Edition reservation holders

    I just got my model Y wheels powder coated for $450. Had other quotes higher than that, but this shop was highly recommended and fortunately the cheapest. I dont think it should cost more than $750 no matter where you go. This is a permanent option. I wouldn't recommend plastidip as that...

  12. R1T bed and Tonneau cover concerns

    Here's the response I got....not any real new information...really just wait and find out as expected. Great questions about the tonneau cover and I'm happy to help. Our powered tonneau cover, which is part of the Launch Edition and Adventure equipment packages, integrates into the truck and...

  13. R1T accessories & options wish list.

    I approve of this list! I do wish they had lowered the price a little more than they did with scrapping the electrochromatic glass, but I suppose they could have put more features into the vehicle that they didnt initially plan to replace some of the cost reduction.

  14. New Rivian Colors Discussion -- Vote On Your Preferred Color

    Midnight for me. Love black vehicles. We just wrapped our model Y in xpel stealth and love it...seriously considering doing the same for our r1t

  15. Rivian plans own charging network called Rivian Adventure Network!

    Benefits are the obvious....more likely to have a vacant charging station for Rivian owners and less wear and tear on the chargers for Rivian. But I agree, why not make it open to everyone. They could even charge non Rivian owners more since the payment system would work differently. Seems...

  16. R1T bed and Tonneau cover concerns

    Agreed. I've seen one picture that I think shows the powered option and it looks like it goes into a cavity in the front of the bed (and it really seems like it would have to be vinyl). I wonder on the manual option if this becomes additional storage, or if it adds to the space in the bed...

  17. R1T bed and Tonneau cover concerns

    Anyone know what the tonneau cover is made out of for each option? Are they vinyl? Do we know how much space the powered option will take out of the bed when rolled up? Have these questions out to Rivian...I'll post whatever I find out.

  18. Rear Seat - cargo space/flat floor in the future?

    Ford knows what truck owners want. I've owned Ford trucks for my whole adult life and have been super happy with them. Excited to go EV with the Rivian, but I agree with the thread that the loss of the flat floor is material. I use it mostly for the dogs...they love the extra space, but its...
