Just spoke with someone at Rivian and thought some of you might like this info.
Sliding platform for gear tunnel:
1) Right now the configurator shows the platform has one handle and one stand and is usable on the passenger's side. I brought up that many times when I am working I am by myself and would like the option for it to be installed or workable from the driver's side. Also if you are hiking parking may be on one side of the road or the other and blocked without access.
2). She will get back to me about the ability to change the side as needed or at least installed with drivers vs passengers preference. She thought it might be accessible and usable from either side, but it looks to me like there is a backstop that would prevent moving it both directions. I will update when she contacts me back.
All weather matts:
1). If you order the all weather matts you will still receive the standard carpet matts so that you can interchange if you desire
Ocean coast interior:
1). I have a concern that dye from denim blue jeans that are damp from sweat may leach into the fabric, as I have been told happens with the smooth vegan leather that is in Teslas. She told me that ocean coast has an underlying grey fleck/color and is more resistant to staining and so far no one has reported blue seats with the ocean coast material.
2). I asked about reflections on the two screens in OC vs Black interior and she didn't have any info if it was any worse as both will have the panoramic roof in the LE.
Tow hooks without skid plate:
1). I asked a question about being able to order just the tow hooks as I have need of those but not so much the skid plate. (please don't flame me, just wanted to see if that might be a possibility as I have a high need for tow hooks on my hobby farm.). She said they are an integrated package and MAY be a possibility in the future but nothing in the near term.
Sign up for Aug events:
1). Since I live 2.5 hours away from any major metro, I won't be able to participate in the hand's on personal truck part so I asked about the ones planned in the major US cities and expressed my concern as an LE holder I would like to have a little time to ride in one and just see the colors/interiors. My concern that these events could be so packed that I would wait for hours in line to spend 5min or less seeing one.
2). She reconfirmed that these will not be open to the general public and that they will prioritize LE preorders first.
Hopefully this is helpful for those of you with some of these questions this morning.
