Floor mats 100%. Also i got a vinyl-type bed liner (recommended on this Forum I think) so you can throw all sorts of crap in the bed with scratching the sh!t out of the actual bed.

Second thing you need to do is start hunting for magnets in the Frunk. If you only have 1 shitty magnet, you need to return the R1T immediately.

Don't even ask what you need to do if you have the plastic trim piece instead of the wood trim piece behind the front headrests...

Oh - and definitely get the floor mats. You won't regret keeping those carpets fresh.

Where to get the magnets?

What's an RT1 though?

It's the special Dyslexic model.

Got the email telling me to upload documents for my new RT1.

What suggestions do people have to be 'ready' ? Ordered the wall charger, that is shipping out today!!!

EXCITED..

Get the utility mats? Do some cycling, get the roof mounts? Lemme know what I should be thinking and prepping for?

Have a charger installed at my office building?

Welcome to the Charlotte area Rivian group! Get ready for 5 hour rides to service center in either Atlanta or Richmond, your choice, as both NC and SC currently ban Rivian having service centers in their states despite Tesla having multiple. Seriously, you'll enjoy having the R1T and taking it up into the mountains. A blast to drive.

On Delivery, as others have said, make sure everything works or note on the delivery slip what you want repaired. I've had mine since last June and have 14k miles on it and it's been great. Minor stuff they'll come to your house (like the current recall) and hopefully you won't need anything major that you have to go to Richmond or Atlanta.

Oh man, am I excited for you. If this is your first EV, more will follow. Consider adding solar and Powerwalls. You'll charge for free and not concern yourself with vampire drain. Oh....and get a set of jack pucks and seat covers.

That 1 shitty magnet actually does what it's supposed to do

My post came with a dose of heavy sarcasm considering how upset "magnetgate" made some folks on this forum.

We installed the crossbars on back of truck. Couldn't get the bikes to fit as they were too long. Moved bars to roof and mounted bikes. Went out for a ride. Very noisy up there as the bikes were just slamming into the wind. A little bit awkward getting the bikes up there even with one person balanced in doorway and on gear tunnel and other standing in bed of truck. Moved bars back to back of truck and mounted bike racks the farthest to the edge they could go. This works as the rim over the back of the cabin curves just enough the wheels now clear by about 2 inches. Much easier to load/unload on back of truck versus roof.

If I was going somewhere remote, not driving too fast, and had lots of other gear in back I would put bikes on roof. For more day to day use definitely in the back.

Congratulations! Just installed weather tech mats a week ago, better than Rivian mats if in a wet or snow part of country. Most people here have covered the necessities, just enjoy the new ride

What's an RT1 though?

It's a trim of the Ford Mach-E. (California Route 1, Mach-E people abbreviate it either CR1 or RT1.)

It's all good in the hood. However, you still haven't fixed your profile.

Get a hitch mount for the bikes (preferably a 1Up rack). Way more wind resistance up top and you won't notice any additional noise with a hitch mount rack.

Congrats @jc9000. I'm in roughly the same boat in having started the 8-Step process for a new Rivian, though in my case it's an RS1, err R1S.

Get the floor mats, I installed them day 1 and it’s the best decision I made. IMO the R1T looks the most sporty with the roof mounts I also installed those day 1

I had the mats and cross-bars in my configured reservation, but wound up choosing a Launch Edition from the R1 Shop that has neither accessory. My guide tells me that both now have to be ordered from the Gear Shop, and that they've lowered the pricing to match pre-March values. I don't yet have a delivery date for the R1S, so haven't placed a Gear Shop order (or even checked to see if my guide is correct about the pricing). Do I need to put that order in ASAP or are Gear Shop deliveries fairly timely?
