I think that's a fair assumption. Although if the vehicle is pre-production, anything can be questioned. I ask because it's supposed to be kevlar, not plastic.
Right but Kevlar comes in many different forms. My bike socks are made out of Kevlar fibers and so are my combat gloves. I think the primary shields are kevlar composites but secondary ones might just be plastics. Again, just guesses, we really don't know for sure except the drivers who actually drove and worked on this R1T. Wonder if there is a way to PM them directly. I'm dying to know because I ordered both the truck and SUV...

I don't recall Rivian ever mentioning anything about kevlar. Only that the main underbody shield is composed of aluminum, steel and carbon fiber.

Sorry I meant carbon fiber, but my point is definitely not plastic.

You can reply to her on Twitter. Others have got responses (IE: on charge rate).
