    Campers and Roof Rack Tents

    And this is my current favorite 1-2 person RTT. I think it would look good on the R1T and be functionally superior and more aerodynamically reasonable than most other options. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/tired-of-all-the-same-big-honking-rtts-so-i-made-a-new-one.1129917/

    Campers and Roof Rack Tents

    Leentu needs to reopen to build a carbon fiber shell camper for the R1T. See here for an example on a Tacoma: https://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/for-sale-2019-toyota-tacoma-trd-off-road-with-unique-carbon-fiber-popup-camper.214041/ Or google Leentu for some more images. It’s not...

    Skateboard chassis for EV conversions...will Rivian sell them?

    Well, hopefully an early reservation holder gets a rig and safely totals it so the skateboard will be available, otherwise I'll be waiting a LONG time... I know RJ has mentioned in previous interviews the idea of using the bones of Rivian for just this type of thing but I gathered it was more...

    Skateboard chassis for EV conversions...will Rivian sell them?

    What are the collective thoughts from the members here? Does anyone think it will be possible to buy just the skateboard and put it under another body? Will the conversion with the electrical hardware and pedals, steering, cluster and touchscreen be too complicated to meld with an older body...

    When Did You Pre-Order Your Rivian?

    29/11/2018 at 11:13 pm At least that's when I received email confirmation. It was probably more like 11:12 pm;)

    (Bed) size matters

    It's always tough to infer how worked up someone is through internet posts so forgive me but, dude, it'll be ok. Don't buy the Rivian. Wait for an electric truck that has the bed you want. It's like you have some axe to grind against people who don't put ATVs in their trucks. All this talk of...

    Rivian trademarks TANK TURN! Now with official video.

    I love everything about this. Maybe it's because I'm a Rivian fanboi but the advertising/PR behind this is nearly perfect. Playful music, short and sweet, a nice tease without too much info... I too cannot imagine a scenario where this would be useful. Every place where I've wanted to turn...

    Tesla Truck Unveiling 11/21

    I don't know. Is it a concept car if what is being revealed will be the production version? I guess I'm confused. The overwhelming majority of concept car reveals lead to nothing or the actual production model being very different, at least in my minimal experience in the automotive world. This...

    Tesla Truck Unveiling 11/21

    According to this article, the truck was a clay model 2 months ago and was only half built 2 weeks ago. In my mind, there are a sh*t ton more question marks about this ghastly vehicle compared to what we knew about the R1T and R1S at their reveal. I guess that's what 10 years of planning...

    Tesla Truck Unveiling 11/21

    See here: https://www.cybrtrkownersclub.com/forum/index.php?threads/cybertruck-reveal-viewing-party-and-reactions.21/page-4 Some fanboys to be sure, but some haters too.

    Tesla Truck Unveiling 11/21

    Would love to have been a fly on the wall in whatever room RJ was watching that. What an absolute dumpster fire. Posted specs are nice though.

    R1T offroad footage and info from from South America!

    Fair points to be sure. I was not impressed by the driver either, especially seeing her bomb over that bump. I have little experience compared to your stated exploits but even a small amount is all that's needed to understand that's not the way to travel on difficult trails. Having said that...

    “Cascade” blue R1T in the wild

    LOVE the commentary provided by the videographer at the very end. Agree with @TXKidd...blue is b-e-a-utiful

    Preproduction Rivian R1T spotted testing at Tierra del Fuego!

    Trim/rocker panel below doors is a touch different. Is it too much to ask that these areas be a bit beefier, like a rock slider, steel or thick aluminum, to afford some sort of body protection while off road?

    Rivian Waiting Room: Have you pre-ordered with deposit?

    LA Auto Show dates were Nov 30-Dec 9. People preordered before Nov 30 so it started some time before the show. November 1st, 15th, 25th? There could be a handful or >1000 people ahead of someone who preordered during the LA show. No idea how many trucks will be built on any given day, let alone...

    Rivian Waiting Room: Have you pre-ordered with deposit?

    Damn you, @timf;) We still don't know what exact day they officially started accepting preorders, correct? I think the earliest I've seen was November 26th.

    Rivian Waiting Room: Have you pre-ordered with deposit?

    Me too, @ElectricTrucking. I'm thinking we should be pretty high on the list.

    Build quality

    I suspect no one on the forum will be able to answer your question. Those of us who have been in the presence of the trucks have been roped off from touching anything, let alone sitting in the cab to get a feel for quality. Further, as these show vehicles are early prototypes, they aren't...
