Why do they need rock sliders? And did they come from the factory that way?

Did I miss a memo about factory rock sliders?
They look a lot like my DCE rock sliders.

Remember way back when we did see company Rivians testing sliders. I recall they even had some testing on an off road instructor's R1T here in CO and he confirmed that. Don't know what happened, but I guess if you buy 450 Rivians they will dust off those plans and get them for you...

Unless they were provided by a vendor we know? 🤷‍♂️

I thought they looked more like EV Sportline's steps. And EVS is already a Rivian authorized fleet up-fitter (for vans). It's a public works agency so I'm sure they have standards for accessibility they have to comply with, for workers of varying heights and physical ability.

Because a sensible vehicle would come that way on delivery.

Good find. That's only 4 of them though. Curious what's the source for the "450" number?
Someone would need to track down the actual POs, that is the contract pricing to be used for the PO.

The folks working there. The governor got an R1S and it was picked up by "four men in black".
