JFF: If you see a Rivian, you park next to the Rivian

RAN charger in Benton Harbor:

EA charger in Bentonville ,AR. Guy was from Boulder and had received his R1S a week prior after 4.5 year wait. Fun chatting:

Plugged into charger next to a bunch of R1’s when visiting the factory on the way home. Sadly failed to get a photo. Did see a bunch of R1’s and Amazon vans ready to ship out:

Do you mind sharing what kind of bicycle rack you were using on the R1T?

@sillyME - sure - they are the 1up roof rack trays with lowest profile t-slot mounts. I have since adjusted them a little further back - the back of the trays is now aligned with the back of the tailgate. They worked ok where they were, but the front wheel clamp needed to be no further forward than vertical to make sure the front wheels cleared the spoiler. It’s a little more comfortable gap now. I also have the fat bike kit on the trays.

Thanks, this might be the exact thing I've been looking for. I have only seen the Yakima HighRoad rack in the GearShop, but it's listed as roof rack, which might to a little too high for me to put the bicycles up there.

The great thing about the 1 up is how fast it is to load and unload bikes and that it just contacts the tires. I have some yakima racks from a prior vehicle. They are nicely made, but they clamp onto the downtube, so you scratch up the frame if you don’t get it clean enough before loading. The wheel trays also aren’t flexible for fatter tire sizes.

Mine in black. Found this debadged stealthy granite one and had to park by it.

That person has to be on this forum, right?

Finally got a chance to contribute to this thread. I had to park like that because the white van in the back was encroaching into the parking spot.

This morning’s coffee run

I don't want to sound like a coffee snob, but you probably could get better coffee somewhere other than a movie theater

I had 3 R1Ts park behind me in 3 days out by trailheads last weekend! It's mandatory to walk in front of the cameras and wave obnoxiously.

It's also mandatory to WAVE BACK WHEN ANOTHER RIVIAN WAVES TO YOU. Freaking Seattle people, man... Give you the cold shoulder even on the road in ridiculously fun trucks.

We use to flash other BMW 2002’s in the 70’s…. FLASH THISE HEADLIGHTS
