I have a Beach Permit, but if the park rangers see you driving like that, you'll get fined and permit revoked!

+1 for snow mode!

Are we sure RJ isn't Elon Musk? He sure has the "promise a bunch of stuff for Rivian on social media and then delete it when the actual team forces him to" thing down.

It may be deleted on Instagram, but it's still on Twitter.

That will do wonders for the paint!

Horrific timing with that social post right as the email came out for delays.

I don’t remember ever seeing RJ reply to comments in Instagram, but he confirmed tonight Gear Guard dash cam and pet mode are coming! More of this RJ!

How about just confirming R1S production...

 

[SASSquatch]

Is it just me or is it WTF crazy that RJ only has ~28K followers on twitter?

In a orv area (imperial dunes), game on. Driving on copalis beach? Nope.

At some point I saw there was some big UAE money coming in to Rivian. I could see a sand mode as a valuable mode for the UAE & SA market.

After watching some "Wham-Bam-Tesla Cam" I'm most excited about the dashcam feature. I can image Gear Guard Gary being called as a witness in traffic court.

They should call it Go Guard*, and give Gary a different outfit. Villainous drivers will learn to fear Go Guard Gary's Gripping Gaze!

* I couldn't find a better G-word for moving/driving, please provide alternatives if you have them.

Need a female Gary option. Named Gidget. That controls everything. Then we can start the truck with "Go Go Gidget!"

The slo-mo shows what you don't want to do in sand (over-rotate the rears while the fronts aren't doing the same amount of work … all four wheels should lock in synchronous, as if there was center, front and rear differentials.

p.s. A Sand flag would be handy – perhaps Rivian can share how they mounted it on this test mule.
