  1. Updated Powered Tonneau & Manual Tonneau Bed Covers Coming Mid-Summer! RJ Shows Off in First-Look Video

    Great updates. My original order was manual cover and I reluctantly took a powered one to get the vehicle without a longer delay. I have kept the powered unit working but it makes a lot of noise and is slow, etc.

  2. Why I can't recommend this dumb truck as of 4/7/2023

    I share some of the same complaints. Overall I like it enough to hang in while they keep sending out updates. I have found the updates help, owned mine a lot longer than you have and the progress from what I took delivery of to now is a good distance down the road to making it right. Given...

  3. Coming up: Sept trip to San Diego. What will happen if I visit the service center?

    I am in San Diego, and I did stop into the service center without appointment before I got my truck. They will not tour you around the place since there is no showroom there, but I was able to see some trucks and check them out and they were happy to show me one between appointments. They did...

  4. Team 1EV Rivian specific forged Aero Wheels

    No, it's not really about price of the truck, it's about WEIGHT of the truck and the need for exceptional load ratings. The Variant wheels are really not bad on price considering they are forged. The EVSportline are certainly more money but having gone for such a busy design I am not that...

  5. Team 1EV Rivian specific forged Aero Wheels

    I will likely get some 20x9. What other choices are already on the market and forged and made for the Rivian? I know of just two so far, this one and the choice made by Variant. Here are both for comparison.

  6. Removing 21" wheel aero covers + 3d printed hub cap = clean, easy

    Somebody mass produce....so that I don't have to do it myself.

  7. Fun Rivian First Mile Demo Drive Yesterday!

    Thanks to Rivian. I got some more wheel time, wife got to ask all the questions she had and do some practice route planning on the center monitor, etc. I first sat in one at SEMA years ago, had an unofficial first drive with buddy auto journalists, yet was still impressed with many aspects...

  8. Rivian's Order Fulfillment Process.

    Got that promised update from Rivian moments ago, a much improved communication. Hopefully this means everyone still waiting gets similar in the next few days.

  9. Rivian's Order Fulfillment Process.

    Love all of that, well stated. The suggestion that Rivian can't live up to the communication standards set by legacy brands like Ford, as some like 'ads75' have suggested, seems backwards to me. Given that Rivian is not stuck with legacy systems for doing everything it seems to me they could...

  10. Rivian's Order Fulfillment Process.

    Well stated. The inability of CS to articulate is a big part of the issue and indeed it does seem like they are still in silent mode and still adjusting to how a public company is supposed to do things after the IPO.

  11. Rivian's Order Fulfillment Process.

    YES...and that's my reality, I will indeed now dive back into my own supply chain challenges. We have suppliers that are still 6 to 9 months out on a lot of stuff and we too are doing our best to communicate to customers the best info we can get on many things. Today much of my day will be...

  12. Rivian's Order Fulfillment Process.

    See comments of MNLightning The word 'venting' suggests I am steamed and angry...and that's not actually the case here. I have been part of the auto industry in one capacity or another for decades and what I see here is apparently irrational execution on fulfillment despite an amazing...

  13. Rivian's Order Fulfillment Process.

    Some people have their trucks in less than 6 months while other folks with exact same configuration and much older orders are just waiting....and I can find no pattern or logic in it. Talked to several folks who have exact same order as I do, and they got their truck in under 6 months. Talked...

  14. R1T & R1S Updated Pricing, Configuration, Specs. Dual Motor Now Available

    Reconfigured....and now CHEAPER than before. I gave up MAX battery pack and gave up BLUE color and some other items and I am actually TWO GRAND below my prior price...and now will get it much sooner since Max Pack is not happening this year.

  15. R1T & R1S Updated Pricing, Configuration, Specs. Dual Motor Now Available

    Is it bad that I WANT everyone ahead of me in line to cancel? Yeah, cancel, cancel, cancel!

  16. R1T & R1S Updated Pricing, Configuration, Specs. Dual Motor Now Available

    Easy stuff. The combo of aluminum trailer and car under 4000 pounds, Ridgeline rated to tow 5000 pounds. And that trailer is so low resistance with the little sports car that I have to check the mirror at freeway speeds to make sure it is still back there. Real interested to see range on the...

  17. R1T & R1S Updated Pricing, Configuration, Specs. Dual Motor Now Available

    Only folks outside the industry think 20 percent is crazy, those of us in the auto parts industry are surprised it is not more. Our exhaust system factory DOUBLED the price on pretty much everything during the last two years, and catalytic converters are three and four and five times the costs...

  18. R1T & R1S Updated Pricing, Configuration, Specs. Dual Motor Now Available

    My current stable includes a Ridgeline, picture below with the wife and Pup after coming back from an SCCA race weekend. It's good, but still looking forward to my Rivian. When the Rivian arrives likely sell my 08 Dakota, we are a two truck family and car parts business and one truck is never...

  19. R1T & R1S Updated Pricing, Configuration, Specs. Dual Motor Now Available

    I work in auto parts industry, not surprised in the slightest, most of our suppliers have given us much BIGGER increases. Configuration question....can we MAX PACK battery with dual motor? Seems we would use new dual motor option with bigger battery to push the range to new high if they allow...

  20. WSJ Article: How Ford Won the Race [Against GM] for Rivian

    Ford is on a tear, tons of good decisions including the Rivian investment, plus lots of good new product that people want to purchase (Bronco, Maverick, 160,000+ orders for Lightning). I have had a big position in FORD stock since it was under $3 a share (now at $20) and Rivian since the IPO...
