I'm certain they're turning most of those floormats into coasters. And if anyone believes that, I have shocking news for them. The word "Gullible " isnt even in the Dictionary. ?

I get it! That Forest Green reminds me of one of my favorite Oregon Ducks helmets (out of the 40+ versions) over the past decade.

Uncle Phil is the best uncle any kid (especially a life-long, rabid Duck fan) could ever ask for!

When it comes to making a decision,
Just Do It. ?

Dang it @DuckTruck! This used to be a safe space for me.

Did they drop the chiliwich mats for the gear tunnel doors?

Oh dang, I hope we didn't lose those, they looked great!

I'm not upset about the chilewich, but total missed opportunity to have Rivian super traction compasses instead of those boring slippery lines...

I didn't mean it to hurt. If I were after that, I would've used one of the two winged versions used in the Rose Bowl games.

By the way, you Badgers travel well and in large numbers when hitting road games. You're some of the nicest of fans I've ever met, as well. Man! Do you guys know how to tailgate!

By the way, I think the helmet pictured was the one worn when you beat us (by 7?) in Camp Randall Stadium, if that makes you feel any better. I know it doesn't do that for me. ?

A good look at the charging bar on the rear. And are those yellow tow hooks??

...and also rock rails again. Is this what the offroad upgrade will look like?

With the Off-Road Upgrade, available to add on to the Adventure Package or Explore Package, the underbody shield is enhanced with reinforced materials extending from bumper to bumper and side to side

One might argue that the website doesn't show it, but then again, the website has old prototype photos and other conflicting information (where's the "Compass Yellow interior accents"?).

I hope the off road package includes the rock rails!

Hope so too, otherwise it’s a lot of $$$ for tow hooks and stronger skid plates.

and here's hoping it includes the winch as well.

Winch compatible bumper, maybe. But I can’t see it coming with a winch at the current price.
presuming they’re using something fancy like a Warn Zeon, that’s ~$2k or more at retail on its own.

Yeah, I've heard the winch won't be an available option until 2022.

CS told me its definitely going to be an option but didn't tell me that. Harbor freight here I come.

Hopefully Rivian will design their own winch. There's opportunity here to use 400v (or 800v?) instead of 12v to power it, saving some money in windings and design and allowing significant power to be delivered.

Take a look at the grab handles in the configurator with the black interior. You should see the yellow there as an accent. Also pictures show the sides of the headrests with the yellow accents.

I was thinking about that as well but I think the tried and true designs out there are going to be hard to beat. Also if you only put 600v connections everyone is going to complain they wanted to use this or that winch instead.

I hope they don’t, why reinvent the wheel?
KISS principle ought to prevail.
I’d rather they use a proven off the shelf Warn, so parts availability etc is not a concern.

which I’m pretty sure they’ll do. of note, the (expensive!) recovery kit they have in the configurator is all Warn/Factor55 stuff.
