My footage from R1T ride with RJ (raw footage)

[wicked2112]

Rolling in an R1T with RJ. I can't tell how special this trip and this ride was to me.




More rolling with RJ!

Please forgive the low camera angle, but I was trying not to block the rear passengers' view by having my phone front and center the whole time. Out of courtesy to them and RJ, I stopped recording. Luckily, the camera in my head still has all of the images. It comes with having CDO.

Do it! You won't regret it! They look (and feel) great with Compass Yellow!

@DuckTruck Anybody mention or ask about the EPA range? Or did you peak at the range while you were driving???

No hard numbers, but I'm guessing they're not bad. When I recently saw the graphic from "Postcard From South America" that shows "314 miles (with juice left)" the more comfortable I became with the Large pack. You know that low-speed, but largely off-road trek, was accomplished on All-Terrain tires.

The more I think about it, the more I wonder how often will I ever drain the charge in one day. Of course it will happen, but with the route-planning software available, and as the charging network grows, my anxiety fears are lessening as we get closer to driving these things in the wild.

If the anxiety is still there, the MaxPack should squelch that.

Not gonna lie, I found myself permagrinning as I watched through these videos! Thank you for this footage, Duck! I would absolutely love to visit the factory and mess about on these tracks and trails if they make it an option.

If/when you get the chance, DO. NOT. MISS. IT.

i did just that! ?

In the Rivian Playground of Central Oregon (especially with all of the volcanic rock you'll be rolling on), I think you are a wise man.

@DuckTruck What's your thought on the green interior - is it "too much"?

 

[DuckTruck]

Wonderful, thank you for sharing @DuckTruck!

My pleasure! Still buzzing from the opportunity to be there. So thankful to have been included.

It looked a little much on the Configurator, but it took me back to my college days and my hand-me-down 1969 Chevy Caprice Wagon. Fond memories, indeed. Once it rolled in to the Engagement Center from the rain, and I saw the Launch Green/Forest Edge together, I knew there was a reason I trusted my gut. It looks more subtle/not so green in person.

It's beautiful to me, but dont decide until you have to.

Awesome videos! What sticks out the most to me is how quiet it is. There's a distinct lack of squeaks or rattles as the R1T goes over all that uneven terrain. If that is the fit and finish quality of the pre-production models, buying an R1T is going to be money well spent!

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR POSTING THIS!!!!

I'm glad I was able to figure it out with the help of the Administrator and the guys that interviewed me. By the way, all of the guys mentioned here rock! Luckily, all have young kids, so they had the patience to explain it to me.

I hope to have more pics and short videos uploaded this weekend. Busy dealing with friends and family. Most popular question?: "So, who makes the Rivian?" Aaarrrggghhh!!!

 

[DuckTruck]

Thanks for the inside look. Awesome.

Absolutely my pleasure! No degradation of my Perma-grin after 15 days. Interaction here serves as DCFC for the soul... ???

All that green reminds me of my 1976 Monte Carlo, green on the outside and the inside, except for a light patch that spelled out "just married" and "wash me" that was written in shaving cream on the hood at my wedding (thanks college roommate). If I really babied that car it'd get almost double digit mileage.

The green interior looks pretty classy with the medium colored wood in the Rivian though.
