  1. R2 in Teal, Evergreen, Slate ?

    Me too. The slate with a decent tint on all of the windows (except windscreen) would look great.
  2. Does the R2 have a spare tire?

    Full sized spare would probably be mandatory here in Australia. Space savers are OK but if the car is capable of off road (which an AWD with 10" clearance would easily) then you'll want a full size spare. If I'm to compare it with the most popular offroad car here, the Landcruiser, the cruiser...
  3. R2 / R3 charge port -- NACS, Passenger Rear Side location

    Not quite true. I have a Nissan Skyline and a Subaru forester, both RHD... fuel filler is on the drivers/right hand side of the car in both instances. They might be different for the US market though
  4. Rivian R2 design renderings

    I very much like the first model but as a forester owner, I really hate the angled rear window. With small wheel base and 4 doors, the boot/trunk space isn't great unless you stack things, and you need all the space you can when going camping I wish SUV manufacturers would make the rear windows...
  5. Automakers are starting to admit that drivers hate touchscreens. Buttons are back!

    You can have programmable buttons easy enough. Just build the facility in to the touchscreen and have the physical buttons as a configurable control interface. You want to use button A to answer a call? Program it to do so. You want it to mute the audio? Do that then. That said, who on earth...
  6. Automakers are starting to admit that drivers hate touchscreens. Buttons are back!

    Alexa is NOT going to hear me when I've got Alice in Chains or Slipknot cranked to 11...
  7. Update: Your Max Pack Preorder - R1T’s Max Pack only available w/ Dual-Motor. Unavailable w/ Quad-Motor starting 2023

    This is pretty much what I want to do too. I've got no problem with going to dual motor to get extra range, but as others have mentioned they absolutely must have a locking diff option. Some people have an opinion that a 2 motor setup with a mechanical diff is superior than having software try...
  8. Powered 40 qt Frunk Cooler and 12 gal Water Tank w/ washdown sprayer concept (by @BoxGods)

    How are you going to circulate the air from outside in to the frunk? You'll burn the compressor out if you don't recycle the air
  9. Kim Java’s posing shatters glass pano roof…

    At this point my desire for a solid roof just grew a lot. Never really considered hail but that aside, it should be an option...
  10. Roadtrip! Portland OR to Northern Wisconsin.

    Here in oz, the national limit is 120kph (approx 75mph) but most states cap it at 110kph (70mph approx) . Most people that tow caravans tend to only go 80kph since it is the legal minimum on some national highways, and they do it simply for the fuel economy. Unsurprising to see more power used...
  11. Testing New Camp Kitchen in our R1T *pics galore*

    Child labour gets s**t done!
  12. Rivian is going to have to make a fridge

    Interesting. I'm wondering if that suspension could be modified to have a single 'inner' strut that mounts to the pivot, and replace it with a dual setup, then reverse the pivot point to being on the 'outer' side with the single inner strut replaced with a twin fork setup mounted closer to the...
  13. Rivian is going to have to make a fridge

    Thankyou very much for the photos. I'm incredibly disappointed by the lack of depth in the frunk and the lack of height with the tonneau cover closed. I guess I'll be waiting to see what the R2T is specced like, or I 'settle' for an R1S Le sigh
  14. I’m backkkkk. What do you want to see / know?

    Which would be cool if they could take up all the space, but generally you need some external space (plus ventilation) in order to keep the compressor from working too hard. Is there any ventilation in the frunk?
  15. New R1T tailgate patent?!?

    Bring back the original folding gate.
  16. Another Solar Question

    Totally not worth it. If you have a solar array however, you can get a Zappi v2 charger that has an option to only charge from a solar array.
  17. I’m backkkkk. What do you want to see / know?

    I for one am incredibly disappointed with the frunk and the bed height. Not one of them will fit my 45 litre fridge/freezer in it. Frunk dimensions have changed since the unveiling, so it now isn't tall enough with the false floor (which wasn't there before) and isnt wide enough (due to the fan...
  18. I’m backkkkk. What do you want to see / know?

    Yeah this is odd. Every one of my cheap chinese made head units that I've purchased in the last 10 years has had at least USB in and the majority have microSD too. 512gb is enough to put a lot of FLAC on
  19. Dimensions of storage spaces

    I really want to know how wide the narrow under-section is in the frunk (ie the shorter dimension) is. The coolant duct that protrudes might mean that my fridge/freezer won't fit. It looks like a lot of fridge freezers will barely fit in the tray, and the frunk has changed a lot since the...
