    Camping with my custom pullout camp kitchen!

    Love this! I’m hoping to receive our Gen2 T in September, but the plan is to visit Zirkel in October with our setup, though we’re near Fort Collins. Huge respect to your config! Looks well thought out and organized. Incredible job! Thanks for taking the time to produce a nice write up too. Kudos!

    Ceramic over Stealth/Matte/Satin - Good idea or not?

    Ceramic can hardly be considered a layer of protection. Sure it adds something to the surface but it’s intended use and the reason for getting it is for liquids, water, rain, wet mud etc to become hydrophobic and slip/fall/slide and bead off the surface layer. If it does anything else, consider...

    Watch the Pikes Peak race on Sunday (6/23) @ 7:30am MT -- featuring 1025hp Gen 2 R1T Quad-Motor

    My wife and I actually left Fort Collins CO at 1am to get there in time Tuesday morning. I carried food poisoning the whole way hoping I'd feel better after a 3 hour drive just in time to enjoy the practice at 4 am. I was wrong, very wrong. I'll spare details but we ended up U-turning and...

    Colorado WTB: Crossbars - Colorado

    Looking to purchase 4 total crossbars, I can order from Rivian new but I wanted to check if someone was looking to rehome theirs first. If you're looking to sell the Maxtrax mount (not the boards) that would be awesome too :) I'm located in Northern Colorado, near Fort Collins. Thanks for viewing!

    Gen 2 Rivian R1 - Real Life Pictures & Impressions

    Dang, the doors. That surprised me bc noone else has called that out. None the less, very good call out. I am also a door snob. The Gen1 were truly impressive. Hopefully I'm just as stoked when I receive my Gen2 R1T in a couple months >_<.

    Article: Rivian's path to survival is now remarkably clear -- agree / disagree?

    Sure - I hear that. All of that makes sense. The topic is simply more complicated than any of us have visibility too. But remember, many cars are made without profit for several years across many manufacturers. It's not uncommon. They have to start somewhere and in the space of EV startups it's...

    Article: Rivian's path to survival is now remarkably clear -- agree / disagree?

    I'm not sure the Gen2 was part of the plan to profitability. If anything the business structure, and factory efficiency changes allowed them to generate a more lean product which by happened stance, brought us a Gen2 R1 line. The work they did negotiating new contracts/parts and becoming more...

    Anyone ordering the 2025 R1 2.0 refresh?

    Agreed, very much so. I am in the mountains a lot during the snow season so I decided to "upgrade" to a dual motor max. Delivery is Sept-Oct.

    Non-Media Opinion: The R1 Refresh isn’t Gen 2, its Gen 1.2

    100% -- 2 weeks after spending 120k on a model X Tesla refreshed the X and brought lifetime supercharging. It was a pill to swallow moment but, I've learned the reasons I bought my car don't change. I still own the X to this day, selling it this year but it's treated us well, missing out on that...

    Non-Media Opinion: The R1 Refresh isn’t Gen 2, its Gen 1.2

    For those of you that are/have been tesla owners for years (6 years here, two models) this isn't anything new. It's part of it. In fact, I'd argue that we have it better in the EV space compared to ICE. Every year (mostly) ICE gets some sort of tiny, sandbagged updates. In our case it's a 3-5...

    Gen 2 R1 Delivery Waiting Room ⏳ Post Your Orders!

    I did the same thing when I ordered a Model X in 2019, lol. Tesla support allowed me to have a "do over". Funny how that happens! I ordered a Gen2 R1T Dual - Max around 2pm MST yesterday. Super excited.

    Motor Failure on Cross-Country Road Trip

    Tow it - Ask rivian for service coverage. Rent a car - drive back home. When service complete -- ask for it to be shipped. This is their company growing pain problem, dont risk it further or put your family out.
