    Rivian replaces COO. Hires Javier Varela, who was most recently Volvo’s COO and Deputy CEO

    Throwback to "Frank in Real time," he seemed like a cool guy from humble beginnings.

    Rivian's chief designer Jeff Hammoud talks: colors, R2, R3 & more... on the How to Channel Luxury and Still Get Things Dirty show - DesignMilk

    A short Q&A with Jeff Hammoud that gives a little insight into his perspective about design. Nothing major or new, but the way he talks about the new scroll wheel makes me want it retrofitted onto my R1S!

    Keeping black plastic trim BLACK!?

    We're going to test that! Cerakote ended up winning (some caveats). It also gets mentioned again in the channel's "Best Made in USA" video.

    R1S Megawatt Sliders by Electruck 4x4 - installed photos & review

    Nice, thanks for sharing. Just to confirm a couple things: No custom hole cutting right? Just take off the plastic panels and mount? Is the underside exposed more with these rock sliders, or is it a non-issue? I saw in the FAQ that Electruck plans to offer a modular dust cover to replace the...

    Summarized: R2 / R3 / R3X specs & info from MKBHD & Scaringe hands-on interview

    What an exciting day, I actually don't know what thread to put this in, or if I should start a new one, but apparently there's a charger/hand warmer on the passenger side! I haven't seen anyone else talk about that small detail.

    Are Cloud Dashcams Worth It In 2024? - The Hook Up (ft. R1S)

    No affiliation, I just like this channel's content and thorough reviews. To my surprise, he has a Rivian R1S now! TL;DW (but you should watch!) - Get the Blackvue DR970X-2CH LTE if you have a need for a cloud connected dashcam and have lots of money. Alternatively use a regular dashcam with a...

    Rivian Presents: The original Rivian road trip (Long Way Up)

    That was a fun watch. I haven't seen "Long Way Up" yet (no Apple TV). To hear RJ give the greenlight to this project with barely anything but an idea and all the adventures the crew went through was very cool. Definitely wouldn't want a knee car horn though!

    Rivian Tax Credit Email

    I was in an uncommon situation where I took delivery the first week of April 2023, but I filed all my taxes immediately after that and was able receive full $7500 without amending. I'm not going to sign. Seems like this process just looked at all deliveries in 2023 without considering if anyone...

    Rivian R1S Full Sized Spare Tire Patent w/ waste can, a food cooler, or a first aid kit

    Wouldn't this block the rear camera? Not sure if I would trade a full spare and trash bin and missing the rear view camera.

    Driver+ availability expansion?

    I still get notified to take control at drive-thru tolls (no arms), even though that was supposedly addressed in a previous update. It's a minor inconvenience, but I enjoy Driver+ on the freeways I use.

    Rivian body materials & construction cutaway (material type, welding, heat/cold straightening) @ SEMA

    I wonder what color other people would choose as the body color if they had the choice. I'd like to see a "Pressed-Hardened Steel Purple" R1S rolling!

    Update: Rivian adding Gauge View feature to Dual Motor Rivians (per VP of Software)

    You should make a separate thread just for this type of content. There's definitely some interesting details mentioned. I like how Wassym mentioned the R1 hardware has headroom to grow into the future.

    Rivian vehicle sounds -- deep dive in this week's Twenty Thousand Hertz podcast

    I like content such as this. Didn't know the some of the beeps were based on owls!
