Official Video: How Does it Feel to Drive a Rivian (Featuring Preorder Holders)

[Smithery]

Glad you had fun, but your writing smells of paid marketing person for Rivian. The choice of adjectives, etc. I am probably wrong, but smells very paid marketing writing.

Who hurt you?

It's okay to be happy. And it's okay for other people to be happy, too.

I hope your day gets better.

@DuckTruck I have to pile on what everyone else has said. You seem like a great guy and more than deserving. I always appreciate your levity and thoughtful posts. Can't wait to hear more about your time with Rivian. Rivian is a family affair for us. We are all excited. Thanks again.

IHScout,

Just saw the video of Launch Green from Insta, and it looks great outdoors as well. Time to go update my configuration.

Yep! I don't think you'll be disappointed.

Duck,

Thank you for all the info. What did you think of the seats? Any of the invitees on the taller side, if so, did you hear anyone suggesting changes?

Very happy you got to attend, as many said, they could not have chosen better.

UI Looks pretty awesome. Note the Icons, sadly steering wheel is in the way of range but love the wood grain.

Canyon Red looks Sweet

Acceleration wise, they are on loose surface, the best acceleration is equal to all 4 tires getting grip so it will take a few miliseconds to calculate and go slowly off the line. On a track I am sure it would be fast.

Suspension Travel is king, love the clearance and love that fact that it can do all of this.

That might be my new favorite picture!

Turns out Rivian put an embargo on using the word soon for their visitors. ?

Self-imposed. I swore off of "S-bombs" for a while.

Why aren't the people selected spilling all the details on this forum, or Reddit, or Twitter, or Facebook? Did they sign an NDA or are they just not as passionate about Rivian as some of us that spend a crazy amount of time looking for new info to absorb?

dixosw,

Now that 12 hours has passed since your comment, I hope you're seeing a better flow of info. I can assure you the entire group was passionate about the event and you'll see more info and pics roll out over the next few days.

Thanks.

What? I only see positives responses on the LG now. I switched back to LG based on this picture. I love that color.

I think you chose wisely. It looks great! It seems like the perfect color and shade for playing off-road. The one-and-done status will forever link it to the first Rivians in the world.

@DuckTruck,

Thanks for sharing all this information. It makes me wish I'd known about Rivian and pre-ordered sooner. Now I have to play the waiting game and it's that much more difficult. ?

On the other hand, much more time to hem and haw over paint choices.

So glad you got to experience this and I can't wait to see the vehicles get in customers' hands (both of the Safeway and non-Safeway going varieties.) It'll be time to go adventuring soon!

 

[DuckTruck]

You deserve it simply for being such a positive member of this community! I hope to see the vehicle soon so I can't wait for these nationwide tours to kickoff (pending any issues now that things are getting sketchy again).

Thanks for the kind words! I know you're gonna love these vehicles.

ANy word on Range/kwh per mile ?

If you noticed that is!

 

[DuckTruck]

Of all those on this forum, I'm very happy to see that you were chosen to attend. Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to more of your insights.

Thank you! I hope everyone feels like I do after getting to experience the R1 line.

Hey @DuckTruck, what a great experience! So happy you got to do that.

BTW, you look like a blond Bryan Cranston—like Malcom in the Middle not Breaking Bad.
