2022 Rivian R1T LE
Boom!

Two options will be offered for tread plates:

1 - updated rotating squares pattern
2 - new classic triple slot pattern

* also reduced the qty of patterns by 50% on both.

Thanks again everyone!

A few questions:

1. Are the boards symmetrical front-to-back and left-to-right, meaning can the right and left boards be transposed? If not the whole board, are the plates 'reversible'?
2. Are the images above of the driver's or passenger's side?

I'm asking because I would prefer the swept pattern to be angled toward the rear of the vehicle.

Triple slot design mimics the oval shape of the headlights. Definitely like it better.
Agreed. I know the options are set at this point, but with your observation in mind, it would be cool if there were only two holes in direct proportion to the headlight shape.

Or that might be too obvious....

In any case, a nice job by a vendor that is listening and doing their best to reconcile all the different concerns.

Same question and desire. Additionally, can the bracket bolt heads face front instead of the bolt ends and nuts facing front? Better for aero and noise if that were doable.

awesome, thanks for the constant updates! eager to hear details on the rock sliders! any major difference from the "running boards only" on how they attach to the truck?

All the bolts for brackets are proper orientation (button forward).

Yes tread plates are reversible, you can install it upside down on the opposite side to reverse the angle.

@EV Sportline I just want to say you are doing a great job with all us crazies here. I'm feeling more confident about the purchase.

I know for sure when I cut the plastic trim it is not going to look as clean as this.
Use a Dremel and a straight edge ruler to help guide your cut after you draw it on the plastic. Should come out clean and straight. ( or ask someone crafty to do it for you).

@EV Sportline What is the default slot orientation, as delivered (assuming they are assembled)? Besides the plates, are the boards side to side reversible, or would the brackets be off by the thickness of the mating bracket?

correct, brackets are offset. so you have a left and right running board. Plates can flip either side. They are not assembled when shipped.

I just want to say "thank you" to EVSportline for their patience and quick positive responses. I would have told you all to quit your whining. Either you want them or you don't. They are offering several accessories for the R1T that barely started production a year ago and they are cranking them out quickly, not just a running board. And Oh, My! I have never heard such whiney people. You are worse than preteens. What difference does it make what 'design' is in the step?? I just want to be able to easily get in and out of my truck. I am glad to hear how quickly EVSportline is having them quality made and tested.
I'm sure many of you are engineers. Does your company take less than a month from thought to sale? No! I give EVSportline tons of credit. Now, all of you who chose to drop your order, they are being kind and putting your order back in que. While I then have to wait until you get your little slots. Guys, grow up. Yes, give constructive criticism, don't whine if you don't get what you don't want.
