What a great day! Curtis, my host, picked me up at the Hertz return location at the Bloomington airport and after a quick ride to the factory gave me a tour of the factory. If you have the chance to tour, by all means take it. The sheer scale of the operation is amazing. The ballet of the robots spinning and flipping frame parts, welding robots connecting the pieces, showering sparks and filing the air with the smell of hot metal, conveyor lines of partially finished frames moving from one station to the next, until the wheels and tires are installed, then rolling off the line under it’s own power into QC. This is an absurdly abbreviated description of what’s going on under the roof of a mile long, 4 Million sq ft factory

The hour long tour before delivery had the same effect on me as a 6 six year old being forced to eat breakfast before opening presents on Christmas morning. Curtis drove me around to the delivery center where I met Eddie. Incredibly nice guy. We finished up the paperwork and got my phone connected to the truck in just a few minutes. After a very through explanation of all the screens and a 15 minute introduction drive where he showed me the basics of one pedal driving and talked me through the “launch“ sequence, after which I used up 500 miles of rubber in about 100 feet. This thing is ridiculously fast. We went back to the lobby and joined back up with Curtis who got me a cup of coffee while I picked up some Rivian merch and the store. After that we said our goodbyes and I was headed north with my first EV.

I could have easily made home, 220 miles, but I was hungry and wanted to try my hand at charging. I stopped at an EA in a Sams Club parking lot. I didn't bother with the app and just paid with a CC. Every thing went smoothly, 20 minutes and a chicken sandwich later I was back on the road.

My first EV drive and first day with the R1T went off without a hitch And I couldn’t be happier.

Rivian R1S with Thule Motion XT XXl Roof Box installed.

Unfortunately my Yakima Skybox didn’t fit my R1S so I had to get a Thule instead. Pretty easy to fit, lots of room and the piano black paint matches that of the Rivian. Thule seems to be the way to go.

Hay anyone noticed their trucks attract bugs? When I leave it outside I definitely see more bugs in it than any of my other vehicles.

First thing I did was drop it off for PPF, de-badge & tint. Looks cleaner IMHO….. Prepare to answer a lot more “what is it” questions without any badges!

So about a month ago I finally picked up my Rivian R1T that I ordered about a year ago. I placed the pre-order on December 2021. I've been a bit busy with work so I wasn't able to post here till now. It's been a absolute blast! Its hard to believe that this beast is a heavy ass truck! There has been some minor software issues but nothing that takes again from how awesome this truck is. A couple of my friends are diehard truck/Jeep guys who were initially making fun of me saying that it's nothing more than a electric Ridgeline...after were quite shocked after they drove it! Defiantly a great addition to my current stable of cars: 2008 Lexus ISF, 2015 Forester FXT, 2018 Odyssey, and the 1997 Supra TT.

Feedback from the owner after a Tahoe trip:

"Got a little rubbing in low, kept it at standard for most of the trip. Since these aren’t the RIV stamped tires they’re a little louder but nothing that was unbearable. Overall happy with the setup, I wish there was a little snow on the ground to test the snow performance though"
