    R1T MAX Pack Preorder - Change of Heart

    It definitely makes sense to just wait for now. I'm in no hurry to get back the deposit, and who knows what the future may hold!

    R1T MAX Pack Preorder - Change of Heart

    I signed the binding agreement and should be eligible for the tax credit. I am only 60, so I'm paying full taxes on what I take out for retirement at this point (plenty of offset!).

    R1T MAX Pack Preorder - Change of Heart

    After having a reserved Max Pack preorder for about 2 years, I have come to the very reluctant realization that I really am not willing to pay $82k for a vehicle. I'm mostly retired, and am not willing to forgo all the activities that the $1,000+/month payment and insurance would require. I...

    Removal of frunk tub (front trunk): DIY how-to & pics

    My understanding is that lithium batteries will fail if you attempt to charge them at below freezing temps, so lead acid is needed for starting the system under certain conditions.

    The R1T doing what others can’t

    Our Airstream is a 23' and I am waiting until next year to get the Max Pack. Whenever that time comes, I'll decide if I want to get rid of our diesel VW Touareg and have only the R1T for towing, or get rid of our little Honda Fit. We have never liked towing long stretches, but I want to see...

    First reported Adventure trim Rivian R1T delivery

    My 2016 VW Touareg is the same. My adaptive cruise control went out of calibration and I had no cruise control at all until I had it realigned & calibrated. I don't understand why these systems don't have a "standard" cruise control option available as a fall back.

    LA SILVER Rivian Photos

    I have configured the LA Silver largely because of the $$$ savings, but it is also the color of our existing camper tow vehicle (VW Touareg), and looks great with our Airstream!

    Electric Airstream

    We are planning on the same thing. Using our diesel VW as a tow vehicle for long trips until the long distance charging is better figured out (also for the 18 months or so until our R1T will be available).

    Concerned with reliability of this new startup?

    The long term reliability of the electronic systems is my biggest concern. This is not specific to Rivian, but pretty much all current vehicles. Of my two vehicles, I currently have a 2015 Honda that has a flaky display that prevents me from seeing my fuel level and odometer, and a 2016 VW with...

    R1T Towing Range Sneak Peek — 44 Miles of Predicted Range with 37% Battery Remaining

    This is why we are planning on keeping our VW Touareg diesel for long distance towing. The Rivian would replace our small Honda Fit, and would be used for local commutes and short trip camping. Still need the Max Pack though!

    Video: Rivian R1T vs. Land Cruiser 100 -- UP THE DIABLO DROP-OFF

    My mileage extension fantasy would be integrated solar and batteries in an Airstream/Rivian coordinated design! Maybe make up for the lost range that results from towing.

    Perfect! Thanks! Now I just need to find out when there will be an actual vehicle to see in the Virginia area!

    Door Sill Height?

    Access into the truck is a big question for us. Does anyone know what the door sill height is, and whether this can be minimized for ease of access with the air suspension? Thanks!
