Real Rivian Photos & Videos

[DuckTruck]

Was just rewatching one of the videos from this weekend and noticed this. What color is this truck?

It looks too dark for e-coat/primer but that could just be my inexperience with paint processes newer than 15 years old?

Also, is that hump in the second row floor for max pack batteries or have I just overlooked that in every other body picture.

I have no idea if that could be one of the MaxPack bodies, but I don't think they're making any of them yet. It wouldn't make sense to me that they would even start stamping them out and dipping or painting them until the time of production is near. They are focused on the Launch Edition. But honestly, I have no certainty about that particular unit, whatsover.

As to the color, I also have no idea. The vertical pieces, especially the C-pillar, looks like Forest Green to me. The top rail of bed does as well. With the way these things look different in different light and conditions, that may be Compass Yellow, it could be Canyon Red. All I can be certain of is that it isn't Glacier White. As I stated at the top of this paragraph, I have no idea.

It's a shame your wife isn't part of Peak's Acquisition Team. If their set came with only two of these, I'd order ten more for camping and early morning tailgating on Saturdays. Two dozen Imperial Pint beer glasses with the same sentiment for Beer would be ordered, as well.

The attached pics are of the best beer glasses I've found over the years. They come from Earl's Kitchen + Bar in Banff. It's a wonderful place, with excellent food and drink. Banff is not that far from you, and it will be the destination of my first International Adventure in a Rivian. It's an amazing drive over the Continental Divide from Radium Hot Springs on the Western side, crossing over the Rockies to the East.

By far, the most beautiful and surreal scenery I've ever seen. Not only is the scenery unreal, but the Canadian Highways around Banff, Lake Louise, and Radium were perfect. That was especially surprising, given the toll the Winters can take on the roads there. That joy was tempered only by the high number of patrol cars there to strictly enforce the animal-friendly speed limits. Luckily, I never had to feign ignorance as to the metric-English conversion rate. I hear they have no sympathy for that.

Banff is my favorite place on earth. We stayed in Radium Springs and did the Tea House hikes at Lake Louise. Definitely going back someday

Hump= Under Seat Storage, you can make out the rails/drawers
Color: Base Coat prior to painting, probably base coat for a Launch Green Id imagine or any other color really.

Brown is a very good base coat to put under dark colors when painting walls as well

Absolutely the same. The tea house was so cool. Went to share some pics, but they're apparently above the forum upload size limit.

the trans Canada through banff is probsbly the best maintained chunk in the whole of Canada.

I will drive out to Banff to meet you for lunch/dinner(from Winnipeg)
I am not kidding.


Earl’s is a national chain, consistently good. My last name starts with an E. my dad has been trying to buy a set of earls cutlery for years, as it is monogrammed. ?

banff amd the Rockies is nice and all, but I prefer the kootenays.

I spent three months just outside of Banff, in Canmore. I agree, it is one of the most beautiful places I have been. I have heard Canmore has grown up. When I was there it was a VERY small town. It would be fun. To go back.

Sounds like a Rivian outing to Lake Louise should be in the works.

Hmmm... Wonder if RAN will connect the dots from WA to Calgary!

Use petro Canada’s chargers on the trans Canada

That's less fun though!

more Fun than not charging ?

BC has put charging in all their provincial parks and at some rest stops.

I've had that same upload limitation issue with videos, but not pictures. Lake Moraine, up the road from Lake Louise is also not to be missed, although it was still snowed-in the last time I was up there. Here are a few pics from Lake Louise, taken from about the same spot.

The first one is from early October, and the second is from Memorial Day weekend a few years later. The snow hanging in the air in the second pic is what's left from an avalanche that broke free from a hanging valley above several seconds earlier. It sounded like an F-15 at Mach 2 hitting a freight train head-on, or a Dodge Hellcat under full acceleration.... Kind of the same thing....

I'll take you up on that offer the next trip there. Also, I'll have to check out the Kootenays. Thanks for the heads up!

Moraine is actually one of the photos I was going to upload! So much great color! Had to trim them down to upload. We didn't have any avalanches, always cool to see glaciers.

That brings back some of the best memories of my life! Banff and Lake Louise are where my wife wanted to go for her Birthday week in October of 2014. We ended up having some of the best weather for that time of year that many locals could ever recall.

The people were wonderful and the scenery is unlike anything I've seen, possibly short of the Alps. Even the Tetons pale by comparison, only because of the way you're immersed in the Canadian Rockies on that drive North to the lakes,

In the U.S., the Tetons rule, but the endless peaks up North just keep on coming as you sweep through them, following the Bow River that flows between the two Ridgelines, the Western one making up the Continental Divide..

Please don't take offense, Greg. ?
