From just browsing a few webpages for Snow Peak, I can see this being another $1k minimum.

That's a hot plate -- not an induction cooktop.Well, sure a nice one...I'm talking Amazon for $32 bucks. I'm talking plugging into the bed outlets.
There are many of us with that concern. Perhaps Rivian needs to meet the Fockers.This is a tough one for me. Not sure which is worse, my FOMO or my FOCKERS.
Fear Of Missing Out is bad enough, but Fear Of Camp Kitchen Eliminating Retirement Saving is terrible! ?
Yes, I have it in my configuration. Yes, I think it is over priced. No, I'm not sure I'll go through with it.Who's getting it? who thinks its over priced? ... I like the packaging just still on the fence about it because of the price.
I completely agree with this. That is why if I am camping and need a kitchen, it will be a full-size kitchen, inside of a 38' fifth wheel, pulled by a 1-ton diesel truck!I don't think it's any more overpriced for what it is than any other manufacturer-branded accessory.
Sure, for many people, they may be able to check all the boxes that are relevant to themselves in a camp kitchen for a lot less money. For them, the utility isn't there, and they shouldn't buy it.
For the features (two-burner induction cook top, water pump, heavy duty slides, cable management), the package (fits directly in the gear tunnel, is ready to go without us needing to engineer and build something that will inevitably be of poorer quality), and the warranty, we'll be buying it. We have enough DIY experience in this space having done a Sprinter build to understand the value in the product, even at that price.
Sorry if you think it's cool but they priced you out. But it's really not as out there as the naysayers seem to think.
I'm curious what Rivian will end up charging for the cookware.I’m in for now. We camp all the time. Ditching the propane as well as freeing up space needed for the stove and other things is a fun thought. I really hope they reassess and offer a base set of cookware and then optional upgraded sets for a fee. That would be a great gesture.
Just posted some pictures that I had found in another thread. I am assuming yes based on:I'm anxiously waiting to see if they offer the base shuttle system as a standalone option
I was just looking at that, good find. Hard to make out much detail, but the basic point is - I'd rather have a fridge mounted to that than a camp kitchen.Just posted some pictures that I had found in another thread. I am assuming yes based on:
