    35" Yokohama Geolandar M/T G003 on 20" Atomic Wheels on R1S

    So meaty! Also, bronze is the proper color choice for FG. Looks awesome!

    Rivian partners with JBPCO, extending its reach into commercial van space

    I may have missed this along the way, but I assume (hope) Rivian is baking in a telematics service with these commercial deals?

    Offroaders' thoughts on R2/R3X?

    R3X probably closer to 911 Dakar than a technical offroader.

    Delay your order (on purpose)?

    Been living in the shadows for a while, but checking in to share this: with the context that this information came from a CS chat, I think I've effectively delayed my order indefinitely. I have a Dec 2021 Explore build that I've let go into "inactive" status as of Sept 1 by not configuring a...

    Georgia’s “No to Rivian” Organization - Please Donate

    Maybe I'd be more sympathetic if the copy on the website didn't read as if it was written by a catastrophizing teenager.

    Current look at Brooklyn Rivian Service Center's parking lot full of R1T

    The only manufacturer allowed to sell direct-to-consumer in PA is Tesla and only by an exception to current policy. There is a proposed restructure to the policy to include other EV manufacturers, but it seems to be sitting idle. Accordingly, Rivian has avoided putting a service center in PA...

    Don't hate me cause I'm an Idiot.

    Um, so, congrats on your new truck? 🤔 :D

    Delivery cancelled, Charged twice

    Sorry not sorry. Seems like the hold up with getting you a truck is you. You've waited 3+ years for the truck, they offer to put a mfer in it and drive it to your door and you're like "naw". Come on man. And you're so slighted by the disorganized buying experience that you'll immediately...

    What’s your best “OMG is that a Rivian?!?” sighting moment?

    This is my new favorite thread 😊

    Kyle from Out of Spec Drives The Lightning

    I was left with the impression that Ford pretty much nailed it and the Lightning is an excellent EV truck for someone that just wants a truck. There's no arguing the Lightning has more utility and the R1T more performance. They strike me as both being fantastic options, depending on your...

    Kyle from Out of Spec Drives The Lightning

    This is exactly why it's a great entry for Ford. There is a ton of 'known quantities' for ICE F150 owners (and even non-Ford owners) stepping into a Lightning. The further the departure for John Q. Truckowner, the slower the uptake for EV trucks. It's not for me either, but I've never wanted...

    Kyle from Out of Spec Drives The Lightning

    HA - first time seeing Out of Spec content then?

    Take delivery or wait?

    This seems like a complex issue. Are you saying refuse delivery when it's sitting in your driveway? Or if contacted by a guide tell them you're going to wait? If the former, best case scenario, you're going to end up with a replacement truck in relatively short order. With the latter, if you...

    Now You Know - Rivian lied

    Any click baity, hot take YouTube title gets a hard pass from me, regardless of the content. 0.0 credibility.

    Out of Spec Kyle has the F150 lightning.

    Just looks like an F-150 with different DRLs and different wheels to me - which I'm sure was the point.

    Brawn or Brains? RAM TRX vs. Ford Raptor vs. Rivian R1T Comparison by Edmunds

    I guess when there's nothing comparable to the Rivian, you just compare it to anything.

    The first is the hardest...

    I feel you and sometimes it's good to get it out of the way early. Two anecdotes: Buying my first brand new dirtbike, I dropped it in the bed of the truck while loading it at the dealership. I had only ridden the bike across the parking lot. I knew there were many more drops in that bike's...

    Gave Car Wash mode a try

    Interestingly, literally none of the carwash locations in my locale have this conveyor system - you just pull in, sit there stationary while the machine does its thing, then pull out. I've experienced the conveyor travelling about, but there's nothing like it 'round here.
