Howdy Folks
I'm very keen to order a Rivian R1T 400mi version, but am thinking about the things required to make it RHD/export worthy.
Obviously the steering column, pedal box and handbrake/park brake would need to get switched over as per most conversions, but also the 110 outlets would need replacing with 240v AS3112 connectors - which should only really require replacing the inverter module and the physical plugs and possibly higher gauge wiring.
Aside from those very minor options, the charging points would remain the same as would the bed release and the flashlight (we tend to have switches for stuff on the side which isnt exposed to traffic), the lights wouldn't have to change, the wheels are all fine (though I doubt the 21" being custom sized would be popular here).
I'd love Rivian to release a statement about when they're likely to export but given the delays and the fact many of you in North America won't see the 400mi pack for 2 years, I doubt this will be for quite some time.
I'm patient, but I'm not sure I'm 3-5 years patient. We now have enough infrastructure in South Australia that a Rivian would pretty much be able to go anywhere without too much range anxiety.... I'd love a 400mi release edition (because that colour is niiiice), with a fixed roof, forest green interior, premium sound system and the camp kitchen...
Any other Aussies/non US/CA people here have their own countries in mind for pre-export mods? Sure some local company here could probably do the conversion, especially if its just a matter of swapping the dash components around, but would be far more well built if it came from the factory built to purpose...
Cheers
