    Have you gotten your manual tonneau cover?

    Anyone STILL waiting for a tonneau cover?? They sent me the email but never actually sent me a tonneau cover. Guide says they now have no ETA. WTF?

    Pretty sure LFPs have lower energy density though, so you trade it off in total range.

    Need more range for skiing

    Thanks, I'll look it up. I can intuit how that could be true but would love to understand the reasons behind why.

    R1T Weird Pricing?

    Switched my Nov '21 reservation from an S to a T, and was pretty confused by the pricing: - The Adventure package is now 70k (from 73k?) - Switching from dual to quad motor costs $1500 - Switching from dual to performance dual motor costs $2500 - Manual tonneau is $800 I think this shakes...

    New Mexico 2022 LG/FE R1T - Fully Built for Adventure

    Looks really nice. What color is the interior, FE? Any pics of the damage? I'm interested, though for the same price I can get a new dual motor max pack due to tax credit + pre price hike pricing. (without goodies!) - will circle back on the thread. GLWS

    Guess I’m getting my powered tonneau this week!

    What are they delivering current R1Ts with? Manual tonneaus? And it sounds like they'll re-introduce powered tonneaus in Jan or so?

    R1S vs R1T Winter Camping

    I'm back on this coinflip. iKamper makes some nice hardshell tents that you can get insulation for, and it's a nicer experience for the summer. Gear tunnel makes it an even sweeter proposition for pulling out the mini-doors to sit on for boots etc. With the R1T charger incentive + it being...

    Rivian employee comments suggest morale issues

    Chiming in on the above - as a zoomer myself I do think that there is a cultural shift. We're slowly entering a post-scarcity economy where our productivity is so high that there really is enough for everyone. The point of life isn't to work - I don't think there should be a cultural requirement...

    Delivery Estimate Updates Are Out! ⏱️ [as of Jan 31, 2022]

    Paitence is a virtue but I think waiting over 2 years for a car is already far beyond the norm :p

    SNOW MODE & other nice upgrades coming in Rivian Software Update 2022.47 ❄️

    Curious if the drive suspension improvements helped the porpoising of the R1S. (re: car and driver review)

    R1S Customer? delivery spotted in Seattle

    You can’t even tell it’s an R1S but I was too excited and about to block bike traffic. Blue with the bright ATs - looked fantastic. Trailed by SPD, even 😉 If you’re on the forum, congrats and sorry for the harassment!

    Had my First Drive... very impressed, but will now almost certainly cancel my pre-order.

    It's been said a million times but ice is my only concern with this car. I have nightmares about driving back from Whistler this year with freezing rain forming ice on the road. I could see the bus ahead of me drifting laterally (at a dead stop) due to the conditions, can't imagine that...

    Where to see a Rivian in the Seattle area

    Yes - they basically said that I would get a chance to see one before my delivery via a First Mile (when i think that a significant portion of owners received delivery before ever seeing one in person..)

    Received an email from Rivian updated on 05/2922 please see attached pictures

    As someone who literally works on queue algorithms for a living i'm starting to find it hard to believe this is anything more than broken/random.
