Yes, I was at this presentation by Brian Gase at the NYC space. Brian mentioned a couple times that there will be a spare, most likely compact. He also mentioned that there would be a rear wiper, though the concept model does not have one.

That is great to hear. Glad you’re ok, and the Rivian performed well. And your outlook on it is admirable. Hope the T is back on the road soon.

Yes, current R1's have cameras, 5 radar and ultrasonic sensors. Hopefully they add at least rear ones to the production version. Tesla's decision to remove everything but cameras has created some unnecessary clunkiness.

This was a good video. Helpful to see the interior size with him sitting in it. A few other interesting data points that the Rivian team shared yesterday during a walk around: you can fit a laptop in the glovebox (presumably the right one); finished product will have a rear wiper (current...

We could not sit in the vehicle, but the doors were open and one of the Rivian engineers sat in it at one point. He was probably 5’10” and had plenty of room in the front. For the back, I would think the headroom is just as good, but it’s really harder to gauge headroom without sitting in it...

I saw it yesterday, too. It is much, much smaller in person than an R1S, but the interior space in the front and second row seemed very good. Second Row legroom seemed on par with the R1S. Obviously, no third row and less overall cargo volume (much smaller frunk). But if you only need 80% of...

I think it actually says "Adventurous Forever" - which is in keeping with Rivian's "Keep the World Adventurous Forever" tagline. When they opened the NYC Space, they gave out t-shirts that said "Keep New York Adventurous Forever." This appears to be a play on that theme. Very cool plate.

Would the frunk be a decent option? It’s not something someone could get into easily. I don’t know you’d even need the cable lock if you have it in the frunk.

Last winter, we had close to a week below 0*F, with a couple days around -10 to -16*F. As others have said, efficiency gets killed at these temps in any EV. The Rivian was no exception. But the truck performed fine - cabin was warm. Other than the low efficiency, you wouldn’t have know it was...

Do you know if they replaced the panels with new ones? Or are those the original panels? Mine have been scratched from when some debris got caught while retracting.

Thank you for posting all of the details on your build and journey. The truck looks absolutely incredible! Love the way the trim came out. And the wheels and tires look awesome. That's a great combo. Enjoy it!

Agree with others that 120v is not the way to go if you will use the cabin in Maine winters. We have a place in the Adirondacks and barely maintained charge on 120v when it got really cold (<0 degree F). If you can afford it, have your electrician trench a line and install a 14-50 plug near your...

We've had a Model X for 4 years and now an R1T for 1 year. We regularly make about a 225 mile trip from Northern NJ to the Adirondacks. The Model X will do it, but barely, if you charge to 100% and stay at 70 or lower. The R1T makes it without a problem, even charging only to 90%. And it's much...

That looks amazing!!! Very well done and great write up.

The new Yeti camp green color goes well with Forrest Edge, too. (And also matches Launch Green pretty well.)

Not liking the update. Agree with others that I would like a “medium” setting that is basically the old programming. Low speed coming out of my driveway was grest - much improved. After that, not so much. I don’t feel like bumps at speed are dramatically better. I still feel them. And the side...

Absolutely love it! Still looks perfect after 10 months, 15k miles. Love the wood color that comes with it. My launch Green with Forest Edge is a great combo. Looks great with most of the other colors, too.

My wife has a Model X, and we share the Rivian Wall Charger. Neither of us typically drive far enough in 1 day to need to charge both vehicles daily. We just try to make a point of plugging in one of the vehicles each night, and that’s worked perfectly for us now for almost a year. We bought...

No. Every manufacturer packages options. And Rivian, in particular, needs to continue to streamline to increase efficiency and profitability.

Where in NJ are you? I booked Rivian mobile service thru the app to rotate the tires. $60. Super convenient.
