    Rivian Configurator is Up For Reservation Holders! Share Your Build / Configuration Inside

    Iā€™m peeing my pants. Iā€™ll never try to be funny again. OK, probably not....

    Rivian Configurator is Up For Reservation Holders! Share Your Build / Configuration Inside

    Hilarious. Donā€™t be gone long. Anyway, Iā€™m getting the truck, but with all the people unhappy about the 7 seater and not being able to get the 5 seater....maybe that will change. I mean we still have quite a bit time left. Also, what if the 7 seater folded flat or is easy to remove? I used to...

    Rivian Configurator is Up For Reservation Holders! Share Your Build / Configuration Inside

    Yeah, the configuration was confusing at first. Not well thought out because many people think they are automatically getting the LE and then choosing the Adventure Package which sends them into a parallel universe.

    OK, I think I get it now. Went back and re-did my config to LE. I mistakenly thought that everybody who configured this week and got the mid-range battery would have the June delivery. But what happened was that I chose the Adventure Package and that changed everything to a Jan 2020 delivery...

    If I am getting the LE, then why does the summary say ā€œDeliveries begin Jan 2022. is it because I ordered the kitchen??

    Donā€™t like the January 2022 delivery stated on the summary.

    Rivian Configurator is Up For Reservation Holders! Share Your Build / Configuration Inside

    Hereā€™s what I did. Might change my mind about the $3500 wheels and the 5k kitchen, though. Want to see all this in person and test drive before final commitment.

    R1T $69,000 starting price - opinions

    Have you ever wanted something real bad that made no sense? That is this truck to me. No sense on many levels. If you have the disposable cash to actually go out and rip this thing up, then more power to you. IMO, it is one step below a trailer queen. I canā€™t imagine using it the way it is...

    R1T $69,000 starting price - opinions

    Iā€™m with you, DocTwinkie. The price point is everything. The standard equipment is everything. And the reason everything is everything is because the value (to me) is in its awesomeness, not in its utility. Light duty at best, because it will become my baby and shall never break or get a...

    R1T $69,000 starting price - opinions

    Thatā€™s about $20K more than what would make me tap out :)

    R1T accessories & options wish list.

    Completely agree. It seems that everyone has a different take on what this truck is supposed to be. As I have stated in different earlier posts, this truck is too expensive and too nice to go beat up somewhere and then pay through the nose to have it repaired. IMHO, the RT1 is going to be a...

    R1T $69,000 starting price - opinions

    For me it will probably be the mid-range truck. I am skeptical about standard features, though. Hoping for the best but expecting the worst. There could be some deal killers in there if itā€™s a scant standard list and a ā€œtoo priceyā€ options list. Donā€™t care if it compares to a loaded up Tahoe or...

    Revealed: Rivian Patent For Auxiliary Battery Module To Achieve 400+ Miles Range

    Agree. The more I think about it, I believe this is really meant for the 400 mile models due to the fact that they have no room for battery upgrades. The other models, unless Iā€™m mistaken, could theoretically improve their range by adding additional battery modules. So, in that regard, it...

    Revealed: Rivian Patent For Auxiliary Battery Module To Achieve 400+ Miles Range

    That would be a deal killer for me. I thought they were working on a much smaller device that could get you out of a jam. I donā€™t know, maybe 35-40 miles or so.

    Revealed: Rivian Patent For Auxiliary Battery Module To Achieve 400+ Miles Range

    Like the idea. The way adminā€™s post is worded makes me think that it would only be available to the top of the line owners (400 mile range models). Hope that iā€™m wrong on that. Also, would hope that this could be an add on to all models later on. You know, after you have recovered sufficiently...

    R1T $69,000 starting price - opinions

    Yep! Exactly why I want one. Just canā€™t stop whining about the lack of info on costs and options. The answer might be because Rivian doesnā€™t know either. Darn, probably answered my own question. ;) Hmmm, maybe they know but just donā€™t want to say yet...adds to the intrigue.

    R1T accessories & options wish list.

    I used to have a Chevy Avalanche, 2500, 8.1L, 11 MPG. You could buy, as an option, a custom tent that utilized the entire bed area including the tailgate at 90 degrees. Hopefully, we arenā€™t too late in the process to influence the designers and engineers a bit. I donā€™t have any firm thoughts yet...
