    Should I drive my Dual Max R1T from IL to CA one day after picking it up in Normal?

    I've done that twice now (two yellow R1Ts), adding a stop in Dallas each time before heading west. Terrific trip! Give trucks some distance to avoid rock chips.

    Best Front License Plate Alternative to having Front R1S Bumper Drilled

    Being in California, I bought a front plate decal -- which is reflective and looks identical to the metal license plate (you take a picture and send it in). I used a company in Canada, but there are a few options out there. I plan to do the same for my Texas plate, and I do not care if the state...

    Yellow Performance Dual Max Pack R1T: factory pickup

    The power from those USB C outlets is not good enough to substitute for a 12V socket for my uses. Still bugs meā€¦ but Iā€™ll manage :)

    Havenā€™t had time to work on range testing just yet. Life intervenes :-)

    Yellow Performance Dual Max Pack R1T: factory pickup

    It isnā€™t white on top. The dash wood (only) is replaced with the off white pleather, no reflections noticed yet, and the door wood is replaced with a dark gray fabric. I keep forgetting to check the coat hooks in back. Probably plastic like all these days are.

    Yellow Performance Dual Max Pack R1T: factory pickup

    I traded to Rivian. The offer was good. Taking the hit now was just moving up something I figured I would do eventually. Cancelling the yellow but letting just a few slip through right at the end with Max Pack and Performanceā€¦ well, that accelerated my schedule.

    Yellow Performance Dual Max Pack R1T: factory pickup

    Blargh. I know theyā€™re doing it because of supply chain availability issues, but I wish theyā€™d work harder to find replacementsā€¦ I used that under-dash outlet constantly. I have things Iā€™d like to do with the frunk one too. Blargh!

    Waitā€¦ when did they remove the under-dash 12V plug?! What the hell?

    Yellow Performance Dual Max Pack R1T: factory pickup

    I did a matte wrap on my first one, which was amazing (light colors really are best for that -- they GLOW) -- but I think I'll go with a glossy wrap this time. Previous (quad) in matte XPEL wrap:

    Just some quick notes on my first impressions for 13k VIN Quad -> 28k VIN Performance Dual. I'll make a dedicated post once I've got more to write about it. The dual motors are more audibly present than the quad ones. Sounds like there's just more sound transmission as the motors ramp...

    Yellow Performance Dual Max Pack R1T: factory pickup

    I was worried about it (would have chosen wood like my first one had if it had been available) but my partner was excited about the white. Turns out I neednā€™t have worried ā€” I love it. Well done and classy.

    The Max Pack's available power is reported as 142 kWh, which I was able to see thanks to @Jiji's iOS app (thank you @Jiji!).

    Tint roof? Amount of heat let in? Opinions?

    I have this on my R1T roof (also bought covers for all other windows for camping). Works well. I wish the rings were in a medium / dark grey though. The white rings all over look chintzy.

    R1S Max Pack Delivery Nov 3

    This still seems like an underestimation to me. There's been too much speculation (and questionable extrapolation) and not enough concrete observation on either topic.
