Why doesn't Rivian badge the Quad?

[teddyang]

Speaking of adding badges, has anyone removed both the R I V I A N and R1T/S from the tailgate? If so, is it easy to get rid of?

These badges are right there with those vanity plates that read something like "MY RIVN", or "RIVN JOE".... We all know what we drive, don't we??? I would never mistake any truck with a SUV or vise-versa.

Yep it's pretty easy to debadge. Just need some fishing line or dental floss (and some heat can help soften the tape.

Same, I'll probably strip some of the lettering as well when I do PPF.

Besides, I'm not really sure I want people to know that I've ordered a

More simple… but you have no idea what is actually about it ?

How about all those badges advertising engine size that GM and Dodge used to to. It was especially funny when they got the small engine.

Reminds me of the old Camaro Z28 side badging

Won't people beside you know when you take off from a stop light?

"yup, looked like a 3 second launch, must be a quad"

"mmm did anyone time that?? looked like that might have been a low 4 second launch, that's probably a dual enhanced?"

From my experience, they don’t have time to react when R1T has “disappeared” from their visual field…. Priceless feeling ?

How about a badge that just says "Joneses"

I'd rather have a badge that said "Original Pricing", LOL. I mean, if you're going to flex....

That could be terrible for resale value

They could take the Mercedes route and start doing R1SQuadx4 and the R1TDualx4.....

Don't need to stand out anymore than 'I own a Rivian'

They should just make the line between R1 and T or S on the back silver instead of yellow. I wouldn't want more badging on either dual or quad.

I'd rebadge as "R1SQ-E"

I think you’ve managed to come up with a VIN-length identifier and make it convey less information than a VIN

R1S, Quad Motor, perchance Large Battery Pack, probably 7-seater, 3 Row, K…. I give up

I just got PPF on front, doors and tailgate. They debadged rather than cutting around. I’ve got to decide whether to clean up the old badges and apply new 2-sided tape, get new badges or stay debadged. Inclined to stay debadged. She had some pretty nice company in the shop!

It looks pretty nice with the badges gone but the hood emblem still intact. This would be a tough decision for me also. At some point, there will probably be replacement badges with different finishes that I'd probably wait around for.

I’ve never understood the need to advertise to others all the features bolted on to one’s vehicle. Less (or none) is best.

I keep my dealer's badge on. I mean they generally treat us so well ?

Just do something discrete like underline the r1t badge or something

I hope someone comes out with black badges. I don't really like the empty look of fully debadged but not a big fan of silver either.
